We custody and service accounts for hedge and mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), registered investment advisors, proprietary trading groups, introducing brokers and individual investors. We specialize in routing orders and executing and processing trades in stocks, options, futures, foreign exchange instruments (“forex”), bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, precious metals, and forecast contracts on more than 170 electronic exchanges and market centers in 40 countries and 29 currencies around the world. In addition, our customers can use our trading platform to trade certain cryptocurrencies through third-party cryptocurrency service providers that execute, clear and custody the cryptocurrencies. In the United States of America (“U.S.”), we conduct our business primarily from our headquarters in Greenwich, Connecticut and from Chicago, Illinois. Abroad, we conduct our business through offices located in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, Hungary, Dubai, India, China (Hong Kong and Shanghai), Japan, Singapore and Australia. As of December 31, 2025, we had 3,182 employees worldwide.
IBG, Inc. is a holding company whose primary asset is the ownership of approximately 26.3% of the membership interests of IBG LLC, the current holding company for our businesses. IBG, Inc. is the sole managing member of IBG LLC.
When we use the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “IBKR,” we mean IBG, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including IBG LLC). Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “common stock” and “IBKR shares” refer to the Class A common stock of IBG, Inc.
On April 15, 2025, the Company announced its intention to effect a four-for-one forward split of its common stock in the form of a stock dividend. This was executed by the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s majority stockholder on April 14, 2025 and on April 22, 2025, respectively, that, among other things (i) increased the Company’s authorized shares of Class A common stock to 4,000,000,000 shares from 1,000,000,000 shares and (ii) increased the Company’s authorized shares of Class B Common Stock to 1,000 shares from 100 shares to accommodate the stock split. Each holder of record of common stock as of the close of market on June 16, 2025, received three additional shares of common stock. All prior period shares, per share amounts and stock incentive awards presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
We trace our roots to the market making business founded by our Chairman, Mr. Thomas Peterffy, on the floor of the American Stock Exchange in 1977. Since our inception, we have focused on developing proprietary software to automate broker-dealer functions. We have been a pioneer in developing and applying technology as a financial intermediary to increase liquidity and transparency in the capital markets in which we operate. The proliferation of electronic exchanges and market centers has allowed us to integrate our software with an increasing number of trading venues, creating automatically functioning, computerized platforms that require minimal human intervention. Nearly five decades of developing our automated trading platforms and automating many middle- and back-office functions have allowed us to become one of the lowest cost providers of broker-dealer services and to significantly increase the volume of trades we handle.
On August 28, 2025, we joined the S&P 500 Index. Our inclusion in the S&P 500 represents a significant milestone in recognition of our financial performance, sustained profitability, market capitalization, technology-driven business model, consistent growth in client accounts and assets, and our position as a leading global automated brokerage platform serving individual and institutional customers worldwide. Our addition to the S&P 500 has resulted in increased ownership by index funds and exchange-traded funds that track the index, broadening our institutional investor base and enhancing the liquidity and trading depth of our common stock.
