Introduction
At the Interactive Brokers Group of companies1, we believe that responsible and sustainable business 
practices are important to our success. Over the decades since our inception in 1977, we have held firm to 
four core values: integrity, resilience, innovation, and operational efficiency. Our expertise lies in the building 
of innovative technology and tools to help clients efficiently achieve their financial goals. 
Our sustainability strategy is anchored to three primary areas: (1) Leadership and Governance, (2) Our 
People, and (3) Environmental Stewardship. By integrating our sustainability strategy into our operations, 
underpinned by our core values, we strive to create better products and services for our clients and greater 
value for stakeholders. 
This sustainability report discusses the steps we have taken to implement these business practices and 
presents an overview of our sustainability initiatives, performance, and progress during the 
2022 calendar year.

About Interactive Brokers
Headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, Interactive Brokers has 
2,8203 employees in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, 
Ireland, Switzerland, Estonia, Hungary, India, China (Hong Kong 
and Shanghai), Japan, Singapore, and Australia. Interactive Brokers 
is regulated by the SEC, FINRA, NYSE, FCA,4 and other regulatory 
agencies around the world.
We are an automated global electronic broker specializing in 
executing and clearing trades in stocks, options, futures, foreign 
exchange instruments, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, 
and precious metals on more than 150 electronic exchanges and 
market centers in 33 countries and 26 currencies around the world. 
We offer custody, prime brokerage, and securities and margin lending 
services to our clients. In addition, our clients can use our trading 
platform to trade cryptocurrencies through third-party cryptocurrency 
service providers that execute, clear, and custody the assets. Our 
trading systems executed 3.3 million average trades per day.
Globally, we offer retail and institutional investors, financial advisors, 
proprietary trading firms, and introducing brokers sophisticated 
trading technology and services at some of the lowest fees in the 
market. Because we recognize that successful investment practices 
start with robust financial literacy, we maintain a comprehensive suite 
of free training and educational support services, including courses, 
videos, podcasts, webinars, and blogs. We also provide wide-ranging 
research and market data provided by third-party organizations.
We continually look for ways to expand our services and automate 
our processes while maintaining low costs. Our relatively flat 
organizational structure is designed to support rapid decision-making 
and complex product development. We have grown organically, 
which we believe results in a more integrated operation than 
competitors of comparable size. The resulting efficiency allows us to 
keep our fees low while continuing to offer comprehensive data and 
advanced technology.

INTERACTIVE BROKERS 2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Our Sustainability Approach
Our sustainability program is based on our core values and the belief that 
responsible practices are important to our growth. This report is framed 
around the results of our materiality assessment. We conducted a full 
materiality assessment to identify sustainability issues that may impact 
our business and the communities in which we operate.
The assessment included stakeholder consultations, internal process 
reviews, and an evaluation of our status in relation to industry 
benchmarks, regulatory requirements, emerging trends, and related 
factors. The design of the assessment and stakeholder consultation was 
informed by the following sources: GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards 
2021 (GRI Standards), the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board 
(SASB) Materiality Map for the Investment Banking & Brokerage Industry, 
and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).  
Additionally, we followed the reporting guidelines developed by the 
International Financial Reporting Standards and partnered with external 
sustainability consultants to support our sustainability initiatives.
The insights we gained through this process have allowed us to focus 
our efforts and allocate our resources more effectively. We asked 
stakeholders to rank each sustainability measure according to two 
criteria: (1) importance to Interactive Brokers’ business and (2) importance 
to our stakeholders, which includes our employees, clients, community, 
shareholders, vendors, government, and regulators. 
Our process included:
•	 ensuring adequate representation across Interactive Brokers;
•	 engaging with participants working in representative functions; and
•	 reviewing our materiality results with the stakeholder groups.
Extensive analysis of the technology and financial services industries led us to designate 
60 topics for stakeholder review. From this list, our stakeholders rated 16 topics as 
critically important to our business, our clients, and our community stakeholders. Our 
materiality assessment matrix provides our results for seven key areas. We used the 
resulting data to create a road map and action plan of our priorities.

Exceptional Financial Strength
We have operated with the fundamental principle that the financial strength of a 
brokerage firm is critical to servicing clients effectively. We believe Interactive Brokers 
represents one of the strongest and most financially sound global brokers. 
•	 We are a regulated securities broker-dealer – not a bank; as such, we mark to 
market all of our positions daily and do not classify any of our debt securities as 
“Held to Maturity.” Accordingly, our assets and equity more accurately reflect their 
respective fair market values and we do not have ‘hidden’ losses on our balance 
sheet related to these securities.
•	 The only type of loans we make to clients are margin loans, secured by 
marketable securities. This simplifies our business and risk profile.
•	 We hold no material positions in over-the-counter securities or derivatives. We 
hold no collateralized debt obligations, mortgage-backed securities, or credit 
default swaps. By limiting the type of debt we hold, we have significantly less risk 
as a business.
•	 Our real-time margining system marks all client positions to market continuously. 
All orders are credit vetted before being executed and positions in accounts with 
inadequate margin deposits are liquidated automatically. Our real-time margining 
system allows us to better manage the risks associated with our margin lending 
business.

INTERACTIVE BROKERS 2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Our leadership, including our Board of Directors, Chairman, and CEO, drives our 
sustainability agenda which covers our financial and non-financial objectives. In 2022, 
our Board was comprised of ten directors, five of whom were independent. Our Board 
committees include our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating 
and Corporate Governance Committee, and Environmental, Social, and Governance 
(“ESG”) Committee.
Our ESG Board Committee works closely with our Board to develop our sustainability 
strategy. The ESG Committee provides input for our ESG strategy, monitors our ESG 
activities, relays necessary information to the Board, guides the development of new 
programs including products and services, and supports ESG reporting. 
Additionally, we have an operational-level sustainability leadership group entitled 
Sustainability Advocates and Information Leadership (“SAIL”). This group of ten senior 
employees meets quarterly to support the ESG programs and initiatives approved by 
the ESG Board Committee and senior management. The members of this group are 
located globally across our three regions and bring a diverse set of perspectives and 
expertise. Best practices and ideas on ESG topics are shared through this group. 
Our Leadership and Governance 
Interactive Brokers is owned by our public 
company, Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (24.5%) 
and our founders, employees and their affiliates 
(75.5%). Unlike at most other firms, where 
management owns a relatively small share, 
our founder and other senior executives own a 
substantial majority of our equity. Their ownership 
strongly aligns management with our stockholders 
and this incentive compatible structure ensures 
that management does not take unnecessary or 
unwise risks to further their own benefit.
In coordination with our ESG Board committee and operational group, we 
implemented policies, procedures, and internal controls that promote responsible 
practices and comply with relevant legal obligations. The department heads involved 
in our operational group contribute to areas of importance such as data privacy, 
cybersecurity, anti-money laundering, sanctions, anti-corruption, diversity and 
inclusion, and responsible supplier practices. As an example, in 2022, we created 
an Environmental and Social Policy Statement that outlines the expectations for our 
business operations and supply chain in the areas of human rights and environmental 
management.
We also created a Vendor Code of Conduct to align with our global Code of Conduct 
and Business Ethics (See Appendix A, Governance for more information about our 
policies). Our Head of Security and Safety was hired to further develop our safety and 
security programs (see page 20).
Finally, in 2022, we made two important department head hires to strengthen our 
governance and management systems.  We hired a Head of Sustainability and ESG 
to drive our ESG strategy, programs, systems, and reporting. We also hired a Head of 
Procurement and created a new procurement department responsible for overseeing 
our supply chain, including lifecycle management.

INTERACTIVE BROKERS 2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
ESG integration in Our Products
We believe that clients need access to timely and relevant information 
as part of their investment decision-making process. Historically, this 
information focused predominately on financial metrics, e.g., net income 
and price-to-earnings ratio.  More recently, the use of our ESG tools 
demonstrates how important ESG is to some of our clients in their 
decision-making processes.
We addressed this need by developing our award-winning application 
“IMPACT by Interactive Brokers (IMPACT App).” The IMPACT App makes 
it easier to find and invest in companies that share a client’s values and 
helps them better align their portfolio with the kind of world they want to 
create. In addition, we integrated ESG features and tools into our more 
traditional product offerings. Clients can now view a rich set of ESG 
data on their investments through multiple lenses — financial, ESG, and 
“impact”– using our IMPACT App, Impact Dashboard, and ESG Scores. 
The IMPACT App filters investments through 13 ESG values. Clients can 
align their portfolio with one, several, or all 13 IMPACT Values, which 
include Clean Air, Company Transparency, Customer Safety, Ethical 
Leadership, Fair Labor and Thriving Communities, Gender Equality, 
LGBTQ Inclusion, Land Health, Mindful Business Models, Ocean Life, 
Pure Water, Racial Equality, and Sustainable Product Lifecycle. Our 
IMPACT App allows clients to evaluate whether investments align with 
their values and make changes as they find appropriate. Through the 
IMPACT App, clients can flag companies with business practices that they 
find unacceptable. 
The IMPACT App also allows clients to purchase carbon credits to offset 
their carbon footprint. Finally, using the “GIVE” feature, clients can donate 
to charitable organizations directly from the application (available in 
the United States). Several core Interactive Brokers’ products, including 
Fundamentals Explorer, Portfolio Analyst, and Model Marketplace, now 
incorporate ESG ratings. Clients can share their portfolio’s IMPACT grade 
and values to their social network platforms to showcase the issues they 
care most about.
Our robo-advisor, Interactive Advisors, makes it easy for our clients to use 
ESG principles in their investment portfolios to save time and money6. We 
have incorporated ESG principles into some of the portfolios Interactive 
Advisors offers clients, in addition to traditional offerings. Currently, 
We offer clients interested in ESG investing, 17 portfolios centered on 
sustainable products from the 13 ESG IMPACT App values listed above, 
along with five ESG Smart Beta portfolios (see charts on the following 
page).
Additionally, Interactive Advisors’ clients who wish to avoid investing 
in companies that, in their opinion, do not share their values can select 
types of business practices to avoid from several predefined sustainable 
investing exclusionary lists. These lists include companies that are 
involved in animal testing, business ethics controversies, corporate 
political spending and lobbying, energy-intensive operations, fossil fuels, 
greenhouse emissions, hazardous waste, high water usage, tobacco, 
alcohol and gambling, and weapons and gun manufacturing. Interactive 
Advisors’ clients have shown interest in, and commitment to, a range of 
ESG themes.

INTERACTIVE BROKERS 2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Our People
Interactive Brokers is a global company with a diverse workforce of over 2,800 employees across 29 offices in 16 countries worldwide. We recognize that human capital is critical 
for our sustainable growth. For over 45 years, our success has been a direct result of our talented workforce and our unique culture. Since our early days, the culture created by 
our leadership centered around our four core values: integrity, resilience, innovation, and operational 
efficiency. Our expertise in building innovative technology requires a certain work ethic of discipline 
and commitment to continuously improve. All levels of our company promote these values, and we 
have been fortunate to create a workplace that enables staff to engage and develop personally and 
professionally. 
Our leadership and management structure continues to be relatively flat by design to reduce layers 
of bureaucracy. Because we do not have many layers of middle management, we believe employees 
regularly work on complex and interesting projects at an earlier point in their career. Our managers 
typically manage teams that span time zones, and project teams often include representatives from 
multiple departments. Department heads have been empowered to create working environments to 
meet their specific business needs with the flexibility to incorporate local work practices and customs. 
Our success is evident in our staff longevity and low turnover.

Benefits 
Throughout the world, we offer locally competitive compensation to our full-time 
employees. Our compensation and benefits package includes:
Base Salaries: We offer competitive base salaries that are commensurate with 
experience and skills.
Cash Bonuses: We offer annual bonuses based on individual and company 
performance.
Long-term Incentive Compensation Plans: We offer long-term incentive 
compensation plans that provide employees with the opportunity to share in our 
success.
Group Insurance: We offer health coverage that includes medical, dental, vision, 
life, and disability insurance. In some regions, we also offer supplemental coverage, 
such as life insurance, critical illness insurance, hospital and accident insurance, 
telemedicine, dependent care, commuter allowance, and flexible spending accounts. 
Our plans are designed to support the health, financial, and personal well-being of our 
employees. 
Hybrid and Fully Remote Working Environments: We offer a hybrid work option to 
employees who prefer to work from home and office and, in limited instances, fully 
remote working environments.
Other Employee Initiatives: We offer a variety of other employee initiatives, such 
as tuition reimbursement and wellness programs. 
In the United States, we recently expanded our parental leave policy, which includes 
paid leave for same-sex, opposite-sex, and domestic partnership 
couples; extended our healthcare travel reimbursement policies to include 
medical procedures, treatments and evaluations, family planning, and 
reproductive healthcare; and added subsidized backup childcare support 
through a third-party provider. 
We are particularly proud to offer our long-term stock incentive compensation plan 
to eligible full-time employees. This plan provides employees with the opportunity to 
share in our success over the long term.
Our benefit programs are competitive and among the best in the industry. Our 
employees can be confident that we will continue to provide the resources they need 
to be healthy and financially supported while at IBKR.

Health and Well-being
In 2022, we made valuable additions to our wellness benefits, and we 
trialed several new initiatives, including a mental health program and 
a communication platform. The mental health program includes peer-
to-peer small group facilitation sessions to raise awareness on mental 
health issues, and educate managers on how to support their own 
mental health and that of their staff. 
To promote workplace engagement through community support and 
collaboration, we implemented a new global communication platform 
that establishes digital communities in support of our employees’ internal 
and external interests and activities. We created over 60 communities 
for all of our employees to engage in shared interests that range 
from internal department sites to hobbies, including sites for personal 
development such as emerging technologies. All staff were invited to join 
and leverage the platform to collaborate on shared areas of interest. 
Attracting Talent
We believe in a merit-based culture in which employees are evaluated 
and rewarded based on their demonstrated abilities, talents, and 
achievements. This approach has helped us attract top talent globally 
as we continue to grow and expand in multiple geographies. Our global 
recruitment team includes dedicated staff located globally in our three 
main regions. We primarily source our talent through our in-house 
recruitment staff. To supplement our recruitment efforts, we continue to 
use specialty recruitment platforms and have enhanced our job postings 
to attract a diverse workforce.
In 2022, our recruitment team visited many colleges. We hired 70 new 
graduates for positions in sales, human resources, technology, and 
recruitment. In addition to the college career fairs, we participated in 
diverse hiring forums to attract underrepresented groups.
Community Engagement and Support
As a public company, we often feel that directly allocating our capital to specific causes might not reflect the diverse perspectives of our stakeholders. Instead, we 
mainly concentrate on generating value for our shareholders, enabling them to support the causes most important to them. Our primary philanthropic efforts are 
reserved for significant humanitarian crises and initiatives closely aligned with our business. To empower our employees, we offer up to $1,000 annually to match 
employees’ giving, offer sponsorship activities and encourage volunteerism. 
Additional Information on our people, 
in 2022: 
•	 Hired 716 new full-time employees 
across multiple departments.
•	 Expanded our college internship 
programs to support early-stage career 
development through exposure to our
projects and working culture.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We believe a diverse workforce enhances our creativity when solving complex issues. 
Diversity also enriches the experiences of our employees and clients, and fosters workplace 
acceptance. To us, diversity includes diverse viewpoints, backgrounds, and experiences. 
Our non-discrimination policies are documented in our Employee Handbook and Code of 
Business Conduct and Ethics. We promote these policies through training. We also provide 
diversity and inclusion training9, including unconscious bias training, for our 
Human Resources and Recruitment managers.
During our annual compensation evaluation, we provide data to managers to review for 
pay equity between male and female employees.
In 2022, we rolled out a global mentorship program that included 83 mentors and 
108 mentees.
To support our commitment to a diverse workforce, we established several employee 
resource groups (ERGs). We created our ERGs to raise awareness of underrepresented 
groups and provide support on personal growth and leadership. These ERGs include the 
Women’s Resource Group, Military Veterans and Families Group, and Pride Network. The 
ERGs organize networking events and encourage employee learning in multiple areas 
including management, collaboration, and diversity awareness. In addition, we have formed 
a partnership with 100 Women in Finance that includes women’s leadership training and 
employee memberships, where employees have access to many resources and events 
to enhance their skills and experience.

Team regularly offers programs with a blended 
learning approach, combining virtual training 
sessions with in-person workshops and 
seminars. The programs allow our employees 
to engage in interactive and immersive learning

test their knowledge in real-world scenarios.
Leadership Development Programs: In 2022, 
more than 370 global leaders, representing 
65% of the IBKR leadership workforce, took 
part in the leadership development programs 
on our L&D platform. We also offered several 
courses in live (facilitated) environments, 
including IBKR Leadership Fundamentals, 
Communications Training, Project 
Management, Performance Management, and 
Growth Mindset. These courses continued to 
equip leaders and aspiring leaders with the 
skills and competencies they need to inspire 
teams, drive innovation, and navigate the 
complex challenges of today’s business world.

Environmental Stewardship
Climate Change and Our Business
At Interactive Brokers, we strive to minimize our 
environmental impact, including our greenhouse gas 
emissions (GHG). We have taken several organizational 
steps to facilitate this.
Our Environmental Standards framework provides 
guidance for the management of greenhouse gases, 
energy, waste management, and recycling in our 
offices as we continue to improve our environmental 
stewardship. As of 2022:
•	 Our Boston, Dublin, Shanghai, and Singapore 
offices are LEED certified.
•	 Our London office is BREEAM certified.
•	 Our London and Hong Kong offices are 
Wiredscore certified.
Our Environmental and Social Policy Statement 
(available on our website) sets forth what we 
require and expect from our employees and 
supply chain members. 
Energy
In 2022, we completed an environmental review to 
assess current conditions and determine improved 
practices for energy management in our offices, which 
accounts for the majority of our energy consumption 
and greenhouse gas emissions. We reduced energy 
consumption by installing energy-efficient LED lights 
with automated sensors in many of our offices. 
23 of our offices and data centers use renewable 
power sources, representing approximately 46% of our 
operational footprint; while 64% of our data centers’ 
third-party providers use renewable power.
At several of our offices, we implemented an energy 
management system that reduces consumption by 
heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and lighting 
equipment. Several offices have installed water-saving 
devices in kitchens and lavatories, including low-flow 
toilets and faucets with aerators that turn off quickly.

13 Not all IBKR offices have recycling programs. 
12 Ramboll provided limited assurance under ISO 14064-3:2019 for fiscal year 2022. Based upon the process and procedures conducted, there is no evidence that the Scope 1 and 2 GHG assertion for the FY22 is not materially correct and is not a fair representation of GHG 
data and information.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
We are reducing our GHG by procuring renewable 
energy where feasible.  We also purchase renewable 
energy certificates for several of our offices where we 
do not have control over the energy options provided 
to our office spaces.
In August 2022, we invested in a GHG management 
and accounting system that helps us measure our 
Scope 1 and 2 emissions, including electricity, steam, 
gas, diesel, and Scope 3. We hired a third-party auditor 
to assure our Scope 1 and 2 inventory. We developed 
a GHG Data Collection Methodology, a system that 
provides detailed instructions for the GHG data 
collection process to calculate and track our Scope 1 
and Scope 2 emissions in line with industry standards12. 
Waste Management
Our office recycling programs segregate waste 
according to local guidelines13.
In many locations paper, plastic, old electronics, and 
toner cartridges are collected separately and recycled 
appropriately. We are phasing out paper and plastic in 
our office pantries. 
We continue to encourage employees to use digital 
copies and, when hard copies are necessary, to use 
recycled or eco-friendly paper. Several offices now have 
disposal solutions for obsolete e-waste such as mobile 
phones, tablets, cameras, chargers, headphones, 
and other small electronic devices. In some locations, 
building management offers e-waste collection and in 
others, local partners work with charitable organizations 
to repurpose our electronics.
Responsible Sourcing 
We enhanced our procurement functionality in 2022 by 
hiring a Head of Procurement, and we are developing 
a Procurement Policy and a Vendor Management 
Office (VMO) system. As we roll out this functionality, 
we are improving how we evaluate our vendors for 
responsible sourcing. The procurement department will 
integrate a third-party lifecycle management process, 
as appropriate, to include vendor identification, risk 
assessment, due diligence, onboarding, contracting, 
performance management, governance, compliance, 
and offboarding. 
We are committed to conducting business in a 
responsible and ethical manner and expect the same 
commitment from our vendors. We expect our vendors 
to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Our 
expectations and requirements are detailed in our 
Vendor Code of Conduct. This includes regulations 
for environmental compliance, workplace health and 
safety, labor practices, and human rights. In addition, 
critical vendors must have management systems and 
practices in place to prevent money laundering, insider 
trading, conflicts of interest, and fraud. As part of the 
onboarding process, where relevant, certain vendors 
may need to submit documented environmental 
credentials and complete due diligence questionnaires. 
Please see our Vendor Code of Conduct on our website 
for additional information.

Resilience
As one of the premier global securities firms, we 
execute and clear millions of trades every day for 
clients. Maintaining high-level cybersecurity practices 
is crucial. We aim to protect safety and privacy by 
continually improving and monitoring our digital 
infrastructure.
Our Chief Information Security Officer leads our 
multifaceted Information Security program, which 
includes people, processes, and technology to provide 
ongoing protection for the confidentiality, integrity, and 
availability of our systems and client data.
We align our security program to the National Institute 
of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Cybersecurity 
Framework. Our security program is audited annually 
by an external auditor using the American Institute of 
Certified Public Accountants’ Trust Services Criteria 
as documented in the resulting Service Organization 
Control (SOC 2) report. This report is summarized 
on our website, along with instructions on how to 
request the report. Our Information Security Committee 
meets on a monthly basis to make decisions related 
to cybersecurity risk; provide support and oversight 
regarding the development, implementation, and 
operation of our Information Security program; and 
discuss emerging threats. The program is further 
aligned with our Enterprise Risk Management 
Framework, which enables us to effectively handle 
cybersecurity risks associated with daily operations and 
facilitate resilience against existing or potential threats.
Our Information Security team engages external 
security firms to provide independent penetration 
testing of systems and applications, using a risk-
based methodology. To further strengthen our ability 
to protect against real-world attacks, the Information 
Security program has tasked an internal “red team” 
with conducting periodic security testing of Interactive 
Brokers’ systems throughout the year.
Auditing and Assurance
Our Internal Audit department provides independent, 
objective assurance designed to add value and 
improve operations. The mission of internal audit is to 
enhance and protect organizational value by providing 
risk-based and objective assurance and advice. 
The Internal Audit department brings a systematic, 
independent, and disciplined approach to evaluate 
and improve the effectiveness of governance, risk 
management, and control processes. The Internal 
Audit department’s governing principles adhere to best 
practices as defined by the mandatory elements of The 
Institute of Internal Auditors’ International Professional 
Practices Framework, including the Core Principles 
for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, the 
Code of Ethics, the International Standards for the 
Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, and the 
Definition of Internal Auditing.  
Creating a Culture of Security
We have robust systems to ensure that we are safe 
from cyber fraud. These include automated systems 
and regular training of our staff to ensure that they 
recognize suspicious cyber activity. Accordingly, the 
Information Security team has developed a security 
awareness program that includes best practices 
for cybersecurity and personal data protection, 
interactive security webinars, written communications 
on specific security-related topics, and validation 
of learning through knowledge-based assessments, 
as well as practical exercises designed to simulate 
real-world threats. 
The Information Security program’s cornerstone 
is a set of cybersecurity policies, procedures, and 
technical capabilities that:
•	 Establish cybersecurity governance and 
oversight processes.
•	 Implement measures to protect the company’s 
technology and information assets, including 
our clients’ information.
•	 Identify and address risks related to 
cybersecurity.
•	 Identify and address risks associated with 
access to client information and fund-transfer 
requests.
•	 Identify and address risks associated with 
vendors and other third-parties.
•	 Detect unauthorized activity and assess and 
mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks.
•	 Provide for preparedness for cyber-attacks, 
including the development of a Computer 
Security Incident Response Plan.
•	 Engage the company’s workforce with 
appropriate training in cybersecurity and 
data protection best practices, validated 
by knowledge-based assessments as well 
as practical exercises, along with pertinent 
information from IBKR’s cybersecurity policies.
•	 Establish a protocol for reporting cyber

Data Protection
We use a layered approach to safeguarding our clients’ 
personal data, including the use of secure data centers 
and offsite storage facilities; encryption during storage 
and transmission; network segmentation, identity, and 
access management; and monitoring for data loss. This 
layered approach is coordinated with cybersecurity 
controls such as system endpoint protection and anti-
malware controls. 
Security Operations and Cyber Incident 
Response
We utilize a variety of information sources to remain 
aware of current and emerging threats, including 
formal and informal threat intelligence-sharing groups, 
public and proprietary bulletins, and automated 
feeds that inform of potential security concerns. We 
utilize a Security Operations Center that conducts 
cyber threat monitoring using security telemetry from 
data sources throughout the company. Events are 
analyzed for relevance and escalated to the company’s 
Cybersecurity Incident Response team. Our incident 
response team includes our external vendor who 
provides 24/7 monitoring.
Data Privacy 
We are committed to protecting the privacy of personal 
data. We have in place a global privacy program 
designed to protect the privacy and security of personal 
data.  As part of this program, we have implemented 
policies and procedures (including the Privacy Policy 
and Cookie Policy on our website) that detail our 
privacy practices. These include a Personal Data Breach 
Policy and Procedure, a Data Subject Access Request 
Handling Procedure, a Data Subject Rights Procedure, 
a Data Protection Impact Assessment Policy, and a 
Personal Data Protection Policy. We have a robust data 
privacy governance structure in place and a senior lead 
devoted to data protection issues. Our internal audit 
function serves as a third line of defense for meeting 
our data privacy obligations. Employees globally are 
required to complete mandatory data privacy training 
when they are hired and annually thereafter. Training 
completion is tracked and documented.
We are committed to implementing security controls to 
protect personal data. Our global Information Security 
program is led by our Chief Information Security 
Officer. We apply technical and administrative security 
measures to protect the personal data we hold. These 
measures include access controls (at infrastructure, 
OS, database, and application levels), encryption at 
rest and in transit, audit trails, authentication measures, 
penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, regular 
patching, and 24x7 security monitoring. These 
measures and controls are enforced across Interactive 
Brokers’ affiliates, branches, and data centers.
Risk Management and Compliance
We prioritize the safety and security of our client’s 
investments and the integrity of our operations. 
Our robust risk management program employs a 
comprehensive framework that combines advanced 
technology with a culture of risk awareness. The 
program is designed to identify, assess, and mitigate 
risks across areas of our business. 
Compliance Management
Our Compliance department supports and helps 
confirm that we operate our business in accordance 
with applicable regulatory requirements. The Global 
Chief Regulatory Officer (GCRO) is the senior executive 
responsible for the Compliance department. This 
department includes general Compliance and Anti-
Money Laundering (AML), with a Chief Compliance 
Officer (CCO) for each of our electronic brokerage 
subsidiaries. Each CCO reports to the Chief Executive 
Officer (CEO) or business head for their subsidiary in 
addition to the GCRO (or regional Compliance head). 
We have documented appropriate policies that identify 
and assess money laundering, terrorist financing, 
sanctions risk, and its predicate crimes, such as 
securities fraud, insider trading, market manipulations, 
terrorist financing, and sanctions violations in 
accordance with each subsidiary’s local regulations 
and procedures.
Monitoring Systems
The philosophy of the Compliance department, and 
the company as a whole, is to build automated systems 
that minimize manual steps in the compliance process 
and then augment these systems with experienced 
employees who apply their judgment where needed. 
We built automated systems to handle wide-ranging 
compliance issues such as trade and audit trail reporting, 
enforcement of short sale rules, enforcement of margin 
rules and pattern day trading restrictions, review of 
employee correspondence, archiving of required 
records, execution quality and order routing reports, 
approval and documentation of new client accounts, 
surveillance of client trading for market manipulation or 
abuse or violations of exchange rules, and anti-money 
laundering (AML) and anti-fraud surveillance in line 
with our AML policies. Our automated operations and 
compliance systems provide substantial efficiencies to 
our Compliance department, reduce costs, and have 
allowed for universal checks that do not discriminate and 
are not corruptible.

26
INTERACTIVE BROKERS 2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
As part of this continuing effort to meet best practices, 
we have implemented a robust case management and 
surveillance system and increased our Compliance 
staffing over the past several years to meet the growing 
regulatory requirements faced by industry participants.
Client Protection
We take a proactive approach to client protection. Our 
technology drives computations that determine the 
amount of cash and securities owed to clients daily and 
segregates funds for their exclusive benefit, along with 
a conservative buffer, where permitted. We were one of 
the first broker-dealers approved by FINRA to calculate 
our client reserve obligation daily (under Rule 15c3-3), 
while the industry standard is to do so on a weekly or 
monthly basis.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) 
We are fully committed to combating money laundering 
and other financial crimes, upholding the highest 
standards of integrity, and providing a safe and secure 
financial ecosystem. To achieve these goals, we 
implemented robust AML and enhanced due diligence 
programs that serve as pillars of our risk management 
framework. Our AML program is designed to detect, 
prevent, and report any suspicious activities that may 
be indicative of money laundering, terrorist financing, 
or other illicit financial activities. We implemented 
stringent policies, procedures, and controls that align 
with global regulatory requirements, industry best 
practices, and evolving AML frameworks. In line with 
regulatory requirements under the USA Patriot Act, EU 
AML Directive, and other rules, we have established 
a comprehensive AML program that includes the 
following:
•	
AML and client identification procedures. 
•	
Designated AML compliance officers for our 
electronic brokerage subsidiaries. 
•	
Formal AML training is provided to our AML, client-
facing, and other relevant employees.
•	
Regular independent audits of our AML program, 
AML Screening.
•	
We screen using a mix of automated and manual 
reviews structured to comply with regulations in 
various jurisdictions.
•	
We collect required information through our new 
account opening process and screen accounts 
against databases for identity verification and 
review of potential negative information and 
appearance on government sanction lists, including 
the Office of Foreign Assets and Control, Specially 
Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons lists, 
and several other global, United Nations, EU, and 
other non-U.S. sanction lists.
•	
We designed and implemented restrictions to 
prevent certain types of high-risk activity, including 
potentially manipulative patterns of trading or 
higher-risk patterns of money movement.
•	
We generate and review a sophisticated suite 
of surveillance reports and queues to identify 
potential money laundering, market manipulation or 
abuse, fraud, and other suspicious activities. 
Anti-Bribery and Corruption 
Interactive Brokers’ policy prohibits all forms of bribery. 
We are committed to strict compliance with the U.S. 
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and applicable anti-
corruption laws in other jurisdictions where Interactive 
Brokers conducts business. Our Anti-Bribery and 
Corruption Policy prohibits employees, officers, 
directors, and agents from offering, promising, giving, 
requesting, soliciting, agreeing to accept, or accepting a 
bribe in connection with Interactive Brokers’ business in 
either the public or private sector.
Sanctions
Interactive Brokers is committed to complying with 
sanctions issued by the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign 
Assets Control as well as the United Nations, EU, and 
other applicable sanction measures. The Sanctions 
Policy establishes firm-wide requirements for managing 
sanctions compliance risk by identifying and preventing 
activities prohibited by relevant sanctions requirements.
Anti-Fraud, Antitrust and Anti-Competitive 
Behavior 
All employees, officers, and directors must comply 
with applicable antitrust and similar laws that regulate 
competition in the countries in which we operate. We 
have zero tolerance for fraud and expect all employees 
to conduct themselves accordingly.
Regulatory Compliance 
Our securities and derivatives businesses are 
extensively regulated by U.S. federal and state 
regulators, foreign regulatory agencies, and numerous 
exchanges and self-regulatory organizations of which 
our subsidiaries are members. Our approach to 
regulatory requirements has been to build many of  our 
regulatory and compliance functions into our integrated 
order routing, custodial, client onboarding, and 
transaction processing systems, and augment these 
systems with experienced employees.

27
INTERACTIVE BROKERS 2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) 
We maintain conservative and robust market risk 
management policies. Our Market Risk Management 
Committee (which includes our CEO, CFO, COO, 
and other senior executives and market risk experts) 
continuously monitors and evaluates our risk 
management policies, including the implementation of 
policies and procedures to enhance the detection and 
prevention of potential events to mitigate margin losses.
We also have a designated Enterprise Risk group 
headed by our Chief Risk Officer and overseen by the 
Enterprise Risk Committee. We manage the financial 
and operational risk inherent in our business and limit 
potential exposure to incidents by maintaining a robust 
and comprehensive control environment, and stress 
testing risk exposures to maintain adequate financial 
buffers. This includes comprehensive stress testing of 
capital and liquid assets using both systemic (market) 
and idiosyncratic stress events. 
Consistent with industry best practices, we utilize a 
“three lines of defense” model to embed accountability 
and ownership for risks and controls at all levels 
throughout the company. Through this model, risk 
ownership is aligned to first-line business functions 
and is subject to independent oversight and challenge 
from our ERM and Internal Audit teams in the second 
and third lines of defense, respectively. Our ERM 
team provides independent oversight of Interactive 
Brokers’ risk profile and provides quarterly reports to 
the Enterprise Risk Committee, comprising leaders from 
across the company, and more frequently to business 
leaders in the first line of defense. The Enterprise Risk 
Management Framework (ERMF) identifies, assesses, 
and monitors capital, market, liquidity, credit, operational 
(including resiliency, legal, vendor, and outsourcing), 
technology, and information security risks to confirm 
that risk exposures remain within our risk appetite. 
The ERM team conducts a comprehensive risk 
assessment at least annually and undertakes targeted 
risk assessments of selected areas on an ad hoc basis. 
The team monitors a suite of key risk indicators on an 
ongoing basis to identify and mitigate outsized 
risk exposures.
We designed our control environment to keep our 
services resilient during periods of extreme financial 
market volatility and/or during and after operational 
events that may cause significant business disruptions. 
These controls are periodically assessed for design 
appropriateness and operating effectiveness by both 
our ERM and Internal Audit functions. In addition, an 
Independent Service Auditor annually examines our 
brokerage operations system and the suitability of 
the design and operating effectiveness of the related 
controls; this is reported in the Service Organization 
Control (SOC 1) report.
Conservative and Prudent Risk Management
We invest client cash in short-term government 
securities that mature in a few months:
•	 As assets mature, we continuously roll them 
forward into freshly issued securities.
•	 As interest rate sensitivity is low, the realized 
loss would be minimal if they ever needed to be 
sold. We are required to mark all investments 
to market and regularly report their value to 
regulators and investors so that any issues are 
immediately recognized. In contrast, the risk 
management policies of banks do not require 
them to immediately recognize losses on their 
held-to-maturity investments and invest in longer-
term assets to maximize their current profits. Our 
prudent risk management allows us to pay higher 
rates on deposits and charge the lowest rates on 
margin loans because we are always invested in 
the current short-term benchmark rate.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
We have robust business continuity and disaster 
recovery plans in place to facilitate stable operations 
during and after adverse events. Our plans include 
redundant systems, data backups, and alternate trading 
venues to mitigate the impact of potential disruptions. 
Regular testing and simulation exercises help validate 
the effectiveness of our plans and identify areas for 
improvement.
In conclusion, while this sustainability report identifies 
what we have accomplished already, we look forward 
to demonstrating our continued progress in our 
next report.
