Fees for Trading Warrants and Structured Products on Euronext

Overview: 

Euronext's fee thresholds on structured products and how it impacts clients' trading, for both fixed and tiered commission models

Background: 

Clients that place orders and trade for more than EUR 6'000 in Warrants and Structured Products will be charged a 2.5 basis points fee with a maximum of EUR 20. 

 

The table below displays the exchange fees for warrants and structured products when trading on Euronext:

Product Group

Fee

Minimum per Trade

Maximum per Trade

Warrants & Structured Products – trade value up to EUR 6’000

0.00

N/A

N/A

Warrants & Structured Products – trade value more than EUR 6’000

2.50 bps

N/A

EUR 20 per Trade

 

Calculations:

For Cost Plus (Tiered) Clients:

Example: Client wishes to trade structured products on Euronext for a total trade value of EUR 10’000.

Scenario A:

Trade value = EUR 10’000

Fee = 2.5 Bps

As the trade value is above EUR 6’000, the fee of 2.50 bps applies and therefore an additional EUR 2.50 will have to be paid for the trade.

Scenario B:

Order 1:

Trade Value = EUR 5’000

Fee = 0.00

Order 2:

Trade Value = EUR 5’000

Fee = 0.00

As the trade value of each trade is below EUR 6’000, no additional fees apply.

Note: This calculation does not impact clients on the Fixed commission schedule.

為何美國期權的佣金收費各有不同?

IB的期權佣金費用包含兩部分:

1. 歸於IB的執行費用。 對於智能傳遞定單,該費用為每份合約$0.70美元,給定月份超出100,000份合約的定單,每份合約可低至$0.15美元(參見網站了解直接傳遞定單費用、低價期權優惠費率和最低定單費用); 

2. 第三方交易所、監管和/或交易費用。

就第三方費用而言,某些美國的期權交易所會有一個流動性費用/折扣結構,在與IB的執行費用以及其他監管和/或交易費用一起應用時,可能會導致各個定單總的每份合約佣金費用各不相同。 這是由交易所部分的計算所造成的。交易所部分的計算最終結果可能是向客戶支付款項而非收取費用,其取決於一些不受IB控制的因素,包括客戶的定單屬性以及現行買-賣報價。

採用這種流動性費用/折扣模式的交易所會對消耗流動性的定單(即適銷定單)收取費用,而對添加流動性的定單(即非適銷的限價定單)提供折扣返點。費用會因交易所、客戶類型(如公眾客戶、經紀交易商、公司、做市商和專業交易者)和期權底層證券的不同而不同,公眾客戶折扣通常介於$0.10 - $0.42之間,而公眾客戶費用則介於$0.15 - $0.50之間。 

IB有義務將適銷的期權定單傳遞至提供最佳執行價格的交易所,且如果出現多個最佳報價,智能傳遞在決定將定單傳往哪個交易所時會考慮流動性消耗費用(即會將定單傳遞至費用最低或無費用的交易所)。 因此,只有在提供的價格優於市價至少$0.01時,智能傳遞才會將市價定單傳遞至收取更高費用的交易所(鑑於標準期權乘數為100,會產生$1.00的價格改善,大於最高流動性消耗費用)。

有關添加/消耗流動性概念的更多信息以及相關舉例,請參見KB201

添加/消耗流動性

Overview: 

本文旨在對交易所費用、添加/消耗流動性費用以及非組合佣金提供正確的理解。

 

添加或消耗流動性的概念既適用於股票,也適用於股票/指數期權。一個定單是消耗流動性還是添加流動性,取決於定單是適銷還是非適銷。

適銷定單會消耗流動性。
適銷定單要么是市價定單,要么是限價等於或高於/低於當前市價的買入/賣出限價定單。

1. 對於適銷的買入限價定單,限價等於或高於賣價。

2. 對於適銷的賣出限價定單,限價等於或低於買價。

舉例:
XYZ股票當前賣價尺寸/價格為400股/46.00。您輸入一個買入限價定單,即以46.01的價格買入100股XYZ股票。由於定單馬上就能執行,其將被視為適銷定單。如果交易所會對消耗流動性收費,則客戶將需繳納該費用。


 

非適銷定單會添加流動性。
非適銷定單是限價低於/高於當前市價的買入/賣出限價定單。

1. 對於非適銷的買入限價定單,限價低於賣價。

2. 對於非適銷的賣出限價定單,限價高於買價。

舉例:
XYZ股票當前賣價尺寸/價格為400股/46.00。您輸入一個買入限價定單,即以45.99的價格買入100股XYZ股票。由於定單將被作為最佳買價發布至市場,而不會立即執行,其將被視為非適銷定單。
若有人發送了一個適銷的賣出定單,從而使您的買入限價定單得以執行,則如果有添加流動性返點,您會收到一定折扣(返點)。

請注意:
1. 所有交易期權的賬戶均需就消耗/添加流動性繳納/享受期權交易所費用或返點。
2. 根據IB網站,消耗/添加流動性費用表下只有負數才是折扣(返點)。

中華通—滬港通/深港通

滬港通與深港通(統稱“中華通”) 是一項互聯互通機制,香港和國際投資者可以通過香港聯合交易所有限公司(以下簡稱“香港聯交所”)及其清算所交易并清算上海證券交易所(以下簡稱“上交所”)和深圳證券交易所(以下簡稱“深交所”)的上市股票。

上交所/深交所有不同類型的掛牌證券,但滬港通和深港通目前階段只能交易A股(在中國證券交易所交易的大陸公司股票)。

滬股通股票包括所有上證180指數與上證380指數的成分股,以及不在上述指數成份股內但有H股同時在聯交所上市及買賣的上交所A股。

滬港通上交所產品列表和股票代碼

深港通股票包括深證成份指數和深證中小創新指數成份股中所有市值不少於60億元人民幣的成份股,以及有相關H股在聯交所上市的所有深交所上市A股。

盈透交易上交所/深交所證券的佣金

與交易港股的佣金相同,盈透只向客戶收取交易額的0.08%作為佣金費用,每筆定單的最低佣金為15元人民幣。交易所要求的交易所費用、清算費用和印花稅將另行徵收。費用詳情請參見滬港通及深港通–北向交易費用表。

每日額度

通過滬港通和深港通達成的交易設有每日額度限制。每日額度根據“淨買槃”計算,會限制滬港通和深港通下每日跨境交易的最高買槃淨額。

如果北向每日額度余額在開市集合競價時段降至零或交易已超過余額,則新的買槃將被駁回。如果北向每日額度余額在持續競價時段或收槃集合競價時段降至零或交易已超過余額,則當天都不會再接受買槃。聯交所將於下一交易日再恢復北向買槃服務。

聯交所也會公布總額度和每日額度的余額情況。

Hong Kong - China Stock Connect

Hong Kong – China Stock Connect (“China Connect”) is a mutual market access program through which Hong Kong and international investors can trade shares listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) via the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK) and their existing clearinghouse. As a member of SEHK, IBKR provides you with direct access to trade with eligible listed products on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange. IBKR clients with China Connect trading permissions will be eligible to trade SSE/SZSE securities through Shanghai and Shenzhen - Stock Connect.

Among the different types of SSE/SZSE-listed securities, only A shares (shares in mainland China-based companies that trade on Chinese stock exchange) are included in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Connect.

Shanghai Connect includes all the constituent stocks of the SSE 180 Index, SSE 380 Index and all the SSE-listed A shares that have corresponding H shares listed on the SEHK.

Product List and Stock Codes for SSE

Shenzhen Connect includes all the constituent stocks of the SZSE Component Index, the SZSE Small/Mid Cap Innovation Index that have a market capitalization of not less than RMB 6 billion and all the SZSE-listed A shares that have corresponding H shares listed on SEHK.

IBKR Commission for Trading SSE/SZSE Securities

Same as trading Hong Kong stocks, IBKR charges only 0.08% of trade value as a commission with a minimum CNH 15 per order. Detailed fee rates can be found in the Hong Kong – China Stock Connect Northbound fee table.

Daily Quota

Trading under Shanghai Connect and Shenzhen Connect is subject to a Daily Quota. The Daily Quota is applied on a “net buy” basis. The Daily Quota limits the maximum net buy value of cross-boundary trades under Shanghai Connect and Shenzhen Connect each day.

If the Northbound Daily Quota Balance drops to zero or the Daily Quota is exceeded during the opening call auction session, new buy orders will be rejected. Or if it happens during a continuous auction session or closing call auction session, no further buy orders will be accepted for the remainder of the day. SEHK will resume the Northbound buying service on the following trading day.

SEHK will also publish the remaining balance of the Aggregate Quota and Daily Quota.

Information Regarding the French Financial Transaction Tax

Overview: 

This document is designed to provide an overview of how the French Financial Transaction Tax will be handled by Interactive Brokers.

Effective August 1, 2012, a new tax will be implemented on the purchase of certain French securities.

Tax Rate

The initial announced tax rate was to be 0.10%; however based on updated information the applied tax rate is intended to be 0.20%.

Effective January 1, 2017 the rate will increase from 0.20% to 0.30%.

Scope

The FTT will be applied to shares of companies whose head office is located in France and whose market capitalisation exceeds EUR 1 billion. The French authorities will update a list each December with the names of companies which meet these requirements. At its launch, 109 French companies will fall under the scope of the FTT.

The purchase of a derivative contract is not subject to the FTT; however the acquisition of the underlying stock upon exercise or delivery of the derivative instrument will be subject to FTT. Similarly a convertible instrument will become subject to the FTT upon conversion or exchange into the stock.

American Depsitory Receipts (ADRS) are similarly subject to the FTT however the implementation date has been delayed to December 1, 2012.

Corporate action events which result in the acquisition of a French security subject to the FTT regulation, will have tax applied at the processing date.

Under the present rules, you can trade CFDs on French shares without incurring FTT in the same way as you are able to trade UK share CFDs without incurring stamp duty. All shares affected by the French FTT are available to trade as IB CFDs.

Please click here for for detailed information and frequently asked questions about our CFD offering.

 

Calculation Method

The legislation allows for the application of FTT based on the daily net purchase per final beneficiary. As an Investment Services Provider (ISP), Interactive Brokers will report FTT to our various clearing agents. As such, transactions will be eligible for netting if the shares settle at the same location. For instance, purchases and sales in France may be netted; however a purchase in France will not be netted against a sale in Germany.

 

 

 

 

Shares Subject To The French Financial Transaction Tax

The following table lists the companies included in the scope of the French Financial Transaction Tax as of January 2024. Based on the French declaration, companies meeting the following qualifications would fall within the scope of the FTT

  • Listed on a French or foreign regulated market
  • Issued by a company whose headquartered in France and whose capitalisation exceeds one billion euro on 1 December 2023 (reviewed annually)

Why Do Commission Charges on U.S. Options Vary?

IBKR's option commission charge consists of two parts:

1. The execution fee which accrues to IBKR.  For Smart Routed orders this fee is set at $0.65 per contract, reduced to as low as $0.15 per contract for orders in excess of 100,000 contracts in a given month (see website for costs on Direct Routed orders, reduced rates on low premium options and minimum order charges); and 

2. Third party exchange, regulatory and/or transaction fees.

In the case of third party fees, certain U.S. option exchanges maintain a liquidity fee/rebate structure which, when aggregated with the IBKR execution fee and any other regulatory and/or transaction fees, may result in an overall per contract commission charge that varies from one order to another.  This is attributable to the exchange portion of the calculation, the result of which may be a payment to the customer rather than a fee, and which depends upon a number of factors outside of IBKR's control including the customer's order attributes and the prevailing bid-ask quotes.

Exchanges which operate under this liquidity fee/rebate model charge a fee for orders which serve to remove liquidity (i.e., marketable orders) and provide a credit for orders which add liquidity (i.e., limit orders which are not marketable). Fees can vary by exchange, customer type (e.g., public, broker-dealer, firm, market maker, professional), and option underlying with public customer rebates (credits) generally ranging from $0.10 - $0.90 and public customer fees from $0.01 - $0.95. 

IBKR is obligated to route marketable option orders to the exchange providing the best execution price and the Smart Router takes into consideration liquidity removal fees when determining which exchange to route the order to when the inside market is shared by multiple (i.e., will route the order to the exchange with the lowest or no fee).  Accordingly, the Smart Router will only route a market order to an exchange which charges a higher fee if they can better the market by at least $0.01 (which, given the standard option multiplier of 100 would result in price improvement of $1.00 which is greater than the largest liquidity removal fee).

For additional information on the concept of adding/removing liquidity, including examples, please refer to KB201.

Handling procedures for fractional fees

It should be noted that certain exchange fees as well as IB commission rates are established at levels beneath  that of the smallest increment by which a given currency is defined (e.g. $0.01 in the case of the USD).  In the event a customer incurs a fee having an extended value below this minimum increment, the fee will be calculated at its extended value and then rounded up or down to the nearest whole minimum increment of that currency.   

This rounding process may result in occurrences where the aggregate rounded commission charge as reflected in the cash balance section of the Activity Statement on a given day is $0.01 higher than the sum of the rounded charge reflected on a line item basis in the trades section. An example of this may occur for a sample series of option trades for a given day is provided below. 

EXAMPLE:

Action Calculated Fee (extended) Statement - Trades  Section (rounded at a line item level) Statement - Cash Balance Section (rounded at an aggregate level)
Customer buys one U.S. securities option, incurring a minimum commission charge of $1.00 plus an exchange Option Regulatory Fee of $0.014 $1.014 $1.01 N/A
Customer buys one U.S. securities option, incurring a minimum commission charge of $1.00 plus an exchange Option Regulatory Fee of $0.014 $1.014 $1.01 N/A
Totals $2.028 $2.02 $2.03
