Client Fees
Advisors and Brokers who charge fees to their clients have a Client Fees section included in their master account statement. The Client Fees section is split up by commissions and fees. It is sorted by currency then by account. Commission or fee revenues from the client are shown in the Revenue column, and commission expenses paid to IB for execution and clearing services are shown in the Expense column. The net is the profit made by the advisor or broker. Fees in a non-base currency are translated to the base currency using the conversion rate in effect on the day of the fee.
Advisors and Brokers can view expenses and revenues for each account on a separate line in the statement. In HTML/WEB-formatted daily statements, each account is expandable and collapsible. In HTML/WEB- or PDF-formatted monthly and annual statements, only the summaries are displayed. You can also use the Expand All/Contract All/Add Scroll and Remove Scroll links at the top of the section to make it easier to view the details.
This section appears in the Default Statement and Legacy Full Default Statement.
