Hedge Fund Investing Through Your IBKR Account

Hedge Fund Investing

A Path for Discerning and Sophisticated Investors
Interactive Brokers clients identified as Accredited Investors and Qualified Purchasers under SEC rules can view information about independent Hedge Funds available through IBKR's online Hedge Fund Marketplace.

  • View and download basic information about participating Funds, including documentation, private placement memoranda and subscription information.
  • Contact the Fund management company or request that the Fund contact you. Once you have made your investment decision and signed the proper documents with the Fund, you will be able to easily transfer funds from your IBKR account to and from the Fund.
  • Hedge Funds who already market their funds to IBKR clients at our Hedge Fund Marketplace can invest in other participating Hedge Funds.

Browse and invest in participating Hedge Funds operated by third-party managers through a secure, password-protected area on our website.



How Can I Participate?

Eligible investors can access the Hedge Fund Marketplace from the Investors' Marketplace, which is available in Client Portal and on our website.


Minimum Investments Allowed by the Funds

The independent funds that participate in IBKR’s Hedge Fund Marketplace allow Eligible investors to invest a minimum of $25,000 USD in a Fund. Note that some Funds require larger investments.

You can redeem a minimum of $25,000 USD or your balance in the Fund, whichever is lower, subject to the Fund's own redemption requirements.


Risks of Hedge Fund Investing

  • The funds listed in IBKR's Hedge Fund Marketplace may not have been registered under the securities laws of the United States, any state, or any other jurisdiction. The Hedge Fund Marketplace is not an offer to sell shares of any of the Funds. Rather, the offer to invest in the Funds may only be made by the private placement memorandum for the relevant Fund, and only to investors who meet certain eligibility requirements.
  • An investment in a Hedge Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Only sophisticated, high net worth investors with a high risk tolerance should participate.
  • The Hedge Funds listed on the website are independent from Interactive Brokers and Interactive Brokers will not supervise their trading decisions or be liable for losses.

Disclosure

IRA accounts are not eligible to invest in participating Hedge Funds.

Information provided in the Hedge Fund Marketplace (including any articles or commentary posted by the hedge funds) is provided by the hedge funds themselves and not by Interactive Brokers. The information is NOT a recommendation by Interactive Brokers that you should invest in hedge funds or in these particular hedge funds.

The hedge funds are independent of Interactive Brokers and Interactive Brokers does not make any representations or warranties concerning the past or future performance of the hedge funds or the accuracy of the information provided by the hedge funds. Investing in hedge funds is risky. Interactive Brokers does not conduct any "suitability" review to make sure that any hedge fund investment is suitable for you. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Hedge funds are highly speculative and investors may lose their entire investment. Also, interests in hedge funds are generally not transferable and hedge funds may restrict your ability to withdraw your funds quickly. Hedge funds generally calculate the value of your investment monthly or quarterly and unlike mutual funds are not required to provide regular pricing or valuation information to investors. Hedge funds may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing tax information to investors. Hedge funds often charge high fees.
