Kind of a morbid question. But anyone knows if we have investments in IBKR and something happens, then how does our next-of-kins get access to our assets?

Is it good enough to just include the account information etc in our will?

Hi

If I go to Tradestation Global site and choose to link my account with my exisiting IB account-

1) are the fund there transfered over?
2) do I still get charged the monthly custodian fee of USD10 by IB?

Thanks.

does ibkr automatically points to https://www.interactivebrokers.com.au/ for us here in malaysia or can we choose to point to .hk or .sg?

the .au site is extremely slow.

This week I have $139 left after a trade. I can probably buy 1 share of BIL but it'll incur $0.35.

Previously I can just buy $139 of my money market fund. No taxes and no transaction cost. If I receive $30 dividends, I can just add $30 to the fund. But now I can't because of the $10,000 minimum.
VMFXX appears to incur taxes. It doesn't look pretty after tax. See below. Anyway, IBKR now requires $10,000 for any money market buy transaction so it won't work.

Hi, so did you manage to find a solution to this problem? I've been using tiger sg and very happy with their mmf features but looking to diversify using another trading app. Reading this about IBKR is quite a letdown, tbh.
