Interactive Brokers has released a free microlearning
app aimed at educating beginner investors through short, interactive lessons
delivered via mobile devices. The app, called IBKR InvestMentor, is currently
available on iOS and was developed by the firm’s educational subsidiary,
Interactive Academy LLC.
Bite-Sized Lessons on Key Financial Topics
The InvestMentor app provides users with access to
foundational content on topics such as stocks, bonds, options, futures, and
investment strategies. Lessons are designed to be concise and easy to
understand, allowing users to learn at their own pace.
The app also includes interactive
quizzes to reinforce understanding and engagement. Interactive Brokers said the
app is intended to simplify complex financial topics for aspiring investors.
Commenting about the new offering, Thomas Peterffy, the
Founder and Chairman of Interactive Brokers, said: “With IBKR InvestMentor, you
assimilate knowledge by microdosing at your own pace. It is free. No matter
where you are, if you have a phone, you have no excuse not to learn and
succeed.

The launch comes amid increased retail participation
in financial markets, often outpacing levels of financial literacy. By offering
a free, mobile-first solution, IBKR aims to close that gap.
Part of Broader IBKR Education Strategy
IBKR InvestMentor adds to Interactive Brokers’
existing suite of educational tools, which includes IBKR Campus. The company
said the new app aligns with its mission to make financial knowledge more
accessible, especially for self-directed investors. The app is free to download from the Apple App Store.
An Android version has not yet been announced.
Interactive Brokers reported another strong month in June,
driven by a sharp increase in client trading volumes and continued growth in
its customer base.
The electronic brokerage firm recorded 3.448 million daily
average revenue trades (DARTs) for the month, marking a 40% year-over-year jump
and a 2% increase from May. This also extended the company’s streak of
year-over-year DARTs growth each month since January.
Client growth remained robust, with the number of active
accounts reaching 3.866 million—up 32% from June 2024 and 2% higher than the
previous month. On an annualized basis, each account averaged 195 cleared
DARTs.
