Hi guys, I just enrolled into the Stock Yield Enhancement Program in IBKR last month and found that the returns (interest) generated for certain stocks being lent out are much higher than expected when I reviewed my activity statement.

I thought that it'd be good to share about this for those that didn't know, especially if you own stocks with heavy short interest and relatively low float.

For example, I own HYLN shares and the interest rate for shorting HYLN is currently at 342% as of yesterday. As IBKR will payout 50% of the interest to you on a daily basis, you'll be paid 171% or about 14% monthly based on current value of the stock.

Of course, this sky high rate is not sustainable and interest rate varies daily. It has varied between 100-350% in the past month for HYLN, and some of the other stocks I lent out have around 2% to 105% interest rate. Blue chips like AAPL will have an under 1% rate though smile.gif

Nevertheless, I think that this is quite profitable in the long run with relatively low risks involved.

Is this possible for those under TSG ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, as before this I went through the process without the T+2 after currency conversion, so now the expectations for cash account should be

Day 0: Transfer to IBKR (SGD) - wait 2 days for T+2 clearing
Day 2: Convert in IBKR (USD) - wait 2 days for T+2 clearing
Day 4: Fund in USD ready for trades
Damn, if deposit on Monday, can only make trades on Friday lol. Probably need to consider margin account soon hmm....

Just use margin account but don't utilise it

It seems like it's not easy to delink TSG.

Might be easier to create new IBKR account and transfer the positions from existing TSG account.

Wow seems like you did not go through as much steps as Ziet Invest. Did they ask you to call them for verbal confirmation? If yes, what time did you call them? Since their timezone is US based

Not at all, i only sent secure message to ask regarding my status, which they did not reply until the whole process completed


QUOTE(murzark @ Jul 10 2021, 02:21 PM)
Oh you did not have to do the phone verification ?

I don't even remember my security questions. Anyone knows how to find the security questions in the web ?
I cannot find them in the User Settings.
*
did not do any phone verification, just the form and my ID, i dont remember doing any security questions as well, might be mistaken. was a pleasant and simple experience for me

LVMH shares are listed on the Euronext Paris Eurolist.

Copied from LVMH website, search under trade in IBKR can find it
