Interactive Brokers launches IBKR InvestMentor to boost financial literacy
Interactive Brokers teaches investing
Interactive Brokers, a leading global online broker with an automated trading platform, has introduced IBKR InvestMentor—a new mobile application designed for beginner investors and aimed at improving financial literacy. The app was developed by the company’s educational division, Interactive Academy LLC, and is now available for free on iOS devices.
IBKR InvestMentor offers short, interactive lessons on essential topics such as stocks, bonds, options, futures, and investment strategies. Tailored for newcomers to finance, the app simplifies complex financial concepts through concise content, personalized learning paths, and quizzes that support more effective learning, according to Business Wire.
Making knowledge accessible to All
As more people than ever gain access to financial markets, IBKR InvestMentor provides a timely solution to the ongoing challenge of low financial literacy. The platform helps make investing more understandable and accessible by delivering convenient, engaging educational content that enables users to build confidence in their investment decisions.
"Success in business and investing is a matter of common sense. You don’t need to study for years if you’re willing to learn on the job, on your own," said Thomas Peterffy, Founder and Chairman of Interactive Brokers. "With IBKR InvestMentor, you absorb knowledge in microdoses at your own pace. It’s free. Wherever you are—if you have a phone, you have no excuse not to learn and succeed."
The app becomes part of the broader IBKR Campus ecosystem—a collection of free educational tools—which further reinforces the company’s mission to make advanced financial knowledge accessible to all.
Features and future prospects
Key features of IBKR InvestMentor include:
• Personalized learning journeys tailored to users’ experience levels and interests
• Mobile micro-lessons for flexible, on-the-go learning
• Interactive quizzes to reinforce key concepts
• Clear and simple explanations of core investment principles
With the launch of IBKR InvestMentor, Interactive Brokers continues to promote the idea of self-directed investing by equipping users with the foundational knowledge they need to navigate financial markets with confidence.
The app is already available for free download from the Apple App Store, with plans to expand to other platforms in the future.
Previously, Interactive Brokers introduced a unique opportunity for its U.S. clients to place bets on the outcome of political elections.
