Yahoo Finance Interactive Brokers (IBKR) Unveils Securities Lending Dashboard
Interactive Brokers IBKR has unveiled a new platform – Securities Lending Dashboard. It aims to provide clients with enhanced tools for assessing short-selling activity and making informed trading decisions.
This innovative platform offers sophisticated investors, including hedge funds, access to an extensive range of securities lending data, empowering them to evaluate investment opportunities more effectively. The Securities Lending Dashboard complements Interactive Brokers' existing Securities Loan Borrow (SLB) system, a self-service utility for identifying shortable stocks.
The platform, powered by Orbisa, offers clients a comprehensive view of securities lending data across North America, Europe and Asia. Available on the Trader Workstation platform's Fundamentals Explorer, this new feature equips investors with information critical to their trading strategies. By leveraging the Securities Lending Dashboard and the Securities Loan Borrow system, clients gain access to valuable metrics, such as quantity, number of lenders and indicative borrow rates based on IBKR’s client holdings.
One of the key benefits of the Securities Lending Dashboard is the ability to access an expanded data set and market intelligence. Interactive Brokers’ clients can now evaluate potential short-selling investment opportunities with greater ease and confidence. The platform offers insightful metrics, including utilization, borrower depth, lender depth and average duration, all of which assist investors in understanding the dynamics of the securities lending market.
Clients using the Securities Lending Dashboard can select two stocks and compare short-selling data across different date ranges, enabling them to make more informed investment decisions. Moreover, Interactive Brokers offers a Premium subscription with additional features, including the short interest indicator, on-loan quantity, on-loan value and days to cover. These data points provide invaluable insights into market sentiment and risk assessment, allowing investors to stay ahead of potential short squeezes.
With this launch, Interactive Brokers has again demonstrated its commitment to empowering investors through transparency and advanced tools.
The company remains at the forefront of providing cutting-edge solutions that cater to the evolving needs of sophisticated individual and institutional investors.
Over the years, the company has taken several measures to bolster its global presence. The launches of IBKR GlobalTrader, IBKR Lite and Impact Dashboard have strengthened its foothold and boosted market share.
Over the past year, shares of IBKR have jumped 59.5%, substantially outperforming the industry’s rally of 11.2%.
