Interactive Brokers has recently introduced two new services, High Touch Prime Brokerage and Global Outsourced Trading, aimed at assisting selected US hedge funds in their operational management and expansion efforts.

The High Touch Prime Brokerage service offers personalized assistance to eligible hedge fund clients, providing them with access to a dedicated Relationship Manager who serves as a central point of contact. This manager is equipped to address inquiries, resolve issues promptly, and facilitate special requests, drawing upon a deep understanding of the client's unique trading strategies and requirements.
Milan Galik, the Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Brokers, highlighted the rationale behind this initiative, explaining that hedge funds choose Interactive Brokers for its automated systems and advanced trading technology, which can help keep costs low. Additionally, Galik noted that many hedge funds value having a single contact familiar with their trading objectives and business strategies. He further elaborated that the High Touch Prime Brokerage service enables Interactive Brokers to compete with large prime brokers and eliminates a potential barrier for hedge funds who want to transition to a low-cost platform but are accustomed to personalized service.
Clients availing themselves of the High Touch Prime Brokerage service also gain access to Subject Matter Experts across various departments within Interactive Brokers, thereby benefiting from operational expertise to streamline business management processes effectively.
Additionally, clients gain access to IBKR Outsourced Trading desks in Europe and Asia, extending high-touch trading capabilities beyond North America. This expansion allows portfolio managers to collaborate with experienced IBKR traders around the clock, devising execution strategies, and placing orders for a diverse range of instruments, including domestic and international stocks, options, bonds, and more.
