Interactive Brokers (IBKR), the online broker of global futures,
options and foreign exchange, is announcing an enhanced flat fee
structure of EUR 2.25 per contract on Liffe - NYSE Euronext-linked
Dutch options. The flat fee carries no minimum to trade, and applies
to all Dutch options offered via its multi-product desktop trading
platform, Trader Workstation (TWS).
In a statement, Interactive Brokers managing director Gerald Perez
said the decision to introduce trading in Dutch options at a flat,
no-minimum commission rate reflected the firm's desire to provide the
most competitive pricing structure in a field that has sustained an
increasing level of investor interest in recent years.
"The Dutch market is widely regarded as the fastest growing
playing field for options in Europe, so we're not just heeding the
market's direction, but anticipating our clients' interests by rolling
out the most competitive price terms and access for precision traders
looking to hone in on the Dutch product segment," he said.
