Interactive Brokers Enhances Offerings, Unveils PEA Classique Account
Read MoreHide Full Article
Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR - Free Report) has rolled out Plan d’Epargne en Actions (PEA Classique) accounts to boost the company’s offerings for its French clients. This move aligns with the company’s efforts to enhance IBKR’s global presence by catering to the needs of its clients.
Benefits Offered by IBKR’s PEA Classique Accounts
PEA Classique accounts offer favorable tax exemptions, which makes it an attractive savings vehicle for eligible French clients. These accounts, through IBKR, enable French tax-resident clients to develop diversified portfolios alongside taking advantage of preferential tax structure and reduced costs.
Clients will have access to a wide range of European securities, including French and European stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds to meet their savings objectives.
PEA Classique accounts, through Interactive Brokers, automatically include a standard trading account allowing French clients to access securities globally spanning 150 markets, including stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds, funds, among others. This access is offered via a single unified platform alongside tax-benefit options included within the PEA structure.
Investors can open and fund PEA accounts smoothly and quickly while accessing low-commission benefits with no additional custody or transfer fees. IBKR can facilitate the transfer of existing accounts and the opening of new accounts through a straightforward process with no fees tied to opening accounts.
Steve Sanders, EVP of marketing and product development at Interactive Brokers stated, “Plan d’Epargne en Actions accounts are a cost-effective way for French individuals to invest for the future. This is an important step in accelerating our growth in France and by adding the PEA to our offering, we are providing French investors with a comprehensive, one-stop shop for both tax-advantaged and traditional investments across 150 global markets from a single broker. With competitive pricing, advanced technology and a broad selection of products, we aim to support the evolving investment needs of French clients.”
Earlier this week, State Street Corp.’s (STT - Free Report) asset management arm, State Street Global Advisors joined forces with Bridgewater Associates LP to boost its core alternative investment strategies.
Alternatives continue to be a lucrative investment option for investors to enjoy greater diversification and attractive returns. Hence, the partnership aligns with STT’s growth strategy to strengthen its fee income.
Similarly, last week, AllianceBernstein L.P. (AB - Free Report) entered into a partnership with Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA - Free Report) to expand its insurance business.
AB has been selected as one of the leading investors in Ruby Reinsurance Company, a reinsurance sidecar vehicle sponsored by RGA. It focuses on the U.S. asset-intensive market. AB plans to manage private alternative assets for RGA’s general account through this transaction.
