Stock Yield Enhancement Program
The Stock Yield Enhancement Program offers participating accounts the opportunity to earn additional income from fully paid shares by allowing IBKR to borrow those shares from you in exchange for collateral, and then on-lend the shares to traders who want to sell them short and are willing to pay interest to borrow them.
