Stock Yield Enhancement Program
Instructions
The Stock Yield Enhancement Program offers participating accounts the opportunity to earn additional income from fully-paid shares by allowing IBKR to borrow those shares from you in exchange for collateral, and then on-lend the shares to traders who want to sell them short and are willing to pay interest to borrow them.
To enable:
- Click the User menu (head and shoulders icon in the top right corner) > Settings > Trading > Stock Yield Enhancement Program.
-
Select the check box in the top right corner, then press Continue.
-
Review the disclosure forms and type your name in the box that reads Sign Here, then click Continue.
Note: If you leave this program, you must wait 90 days before you can re-enroll in it.
