Kevin's Review:
Interactive Brokers brokerage accounts are some of the most comprehensive investment solutions available in the global market today.
Their platform gives both clients and advisers an incredible solution to manage and grow wealth without limitation. Multi-currency, low cost, internationally portable and an almost unlimited choice of assets to invest in ensures clients investment goals can be achieved without compromise.
With such a comprehensive investment solution comes added complexity to the Interactive Brokers platform that other more 'retail friendly' platforms cut out. People who are unfamiliar with market jargon may find Interactive Brokers offers too much information and is overbearing.
That being said, with a properly qualified financial adviser and investment manager looking after your account, Interactive Brokers truly gives retail investors access to institutional quality investments.
