These updates streamline client account management and trading by integrating powerful features from the company’s flagship desktop platform into its web-based offering.

Additionally, US-based advisors can now access the AI Commentary Generator, a cutting-edge generative AI tool that simplifies the creation of custom portfolio performance reports and market commentary.
“Our web-based Advisor Portal is now more powerful than ever, offering advisors the same robust trading and portfolio management experience they’ve come to expect from our desktop platform,” said Steve Sanders, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Product Development. “With tools like the AI-powered Commentary Generator, we’re empowering advisors to save time, deliver value, and focus on what matters most: their clients.”
Advisor Portal gives financial advisors web-based access to Interactive Brokers’ technology and other resources at no charge, including: , a client relationship management (CRM) dashboard, activity statements, QuickTrade, Investors’ Marketplace and more. The latest enhancements bring industry-leading trading tools from its desktop platform to the web-based portal:
- Portfolio View provides an overview of client account performance, giving advisors the ability to drill down by individual positions or accounts. Advisors can choose to view values in the native currency of the security or account, or in their own master base currency.
- Allocation Order allows a single stock order to be distributed across multiple accounts. Advisors can choose to customize the allocation themselves or can use one of 14 allocation algorithms.
- With Rebalance, advisors can adjust multiple positions across multiple accounts using target allocation percentages.
- Models enable advisors to manage different portfolio strategies and invest accounts in them in a scalable way. Advisors create their investment models, define their target positions and the tool generates orders to align selected client accounts to the target positions. Positions can be adjusted at any time and the model rebalance tool can realign client allocations as needed.
- Tax Loss Harvesting scans advisors’ client accounts for harvesting opportunities, in accordance with US tax laws. Advisors can search for losses at the entire position level, lot level, and within short- or long-term capital losses.
