Here is what TGV Partners Fund has to say about Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. in its Q4 2021 investor letter:

“Interactive Brokers has had a very good year operationally. In the Corona year 2020, Interactive Brokers was swamped with customers like most other online brokers. Due to the lockdown from March that year, the number of customers in 2020 increased by over + 50 %. Most market observers expected this influx of customers to calm down after the lockdowns in 2020 and return to a more normal growth path. With around 1.67 million customers, Interactive Brokers now had 56 % more customers by the end of the year than the previous year, and there was little sign of a decline in customer influx even up to December 2021. Since the business model is a very fixed-cost business in the form of a software platform and every new customer is incrementally very valuable, this is fantastic news.”
