The Company may extend credit to these related parties in connection with margin and securities loans. Such loans are (i) made in the ordinary course of business, (ii) are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the company, and (iii) do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, an affiliate of the Company’s founder and Chairman, Mr. Thomas Peterffy, entered into agreements to fund certain advertising campaigns on behalf of IB LLC (the “Agreements”). The fees under the Agreements were paid directly by Mr. Peterffy’s affiliate. On September 30, 2025, IB LLC amended its operating agreement to allow Mr. Peterffy to make additional capital contributions to IB LLC provided that such additional contributions shall not alter Mr. Peterffy's ownership percentage interests in IB LLC and shall be made for the benefit of IB LLC to offset certain expenses which Mr. Peterffy or his affiliates have contractually agreed to pay. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Mr. Peterffy made additional non-cash capital contributions to IB LLC totaling $3 million to fund advertising campaigns pursuant to the Agreements. These contributions were made in Mr. Peterffy's capacity as a related party and were not made pursuant to any contractual obligation or agreement requiring repayment by the Company.

These contributions are reported in “Noncontrolling interest” in the consolidated statements of financial condition and the related advertising expenses are reported in “General and administrative” and are allocated 100% to “Income attributable to non-controlling interest” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
