Interactive Brokers Chairman Thomas Peterffy outlined the firm's strategic roadmap at the Bank of America Financial Services Conference on February 10. The company targets a sustained 30% annual account growth rate. It currently maintains an operating margin of nearly 80%.
Management addressed financial sensitivities regarding shifting monetary policy. A 0.5% decrease in short-term interest rates could reduce the company's annual net income by approximately $200 million.
Global expansion efforts are currently focused on new markets in the UAE and Brazil. The company expects to launch cryptocurrency transfers within weeks to enhance its digital asset services. Interactive Brokers is also investing heavily in ForecastEx, its prediction market platform, as a core driver for future business development.
