Modern portfolio theory: it is an investment theory that studies how to maximize return and minimize risk, through an appropriate choice of the components of a securities portfolio. Originated by Harry Markowitz. It proposes that the investor should approach the portfolio as a whole, studying the characteristics of global risk and return, instead of choosing individual securities based on the expected return of each particular security.

Interactive Brokers doesn’t charge any fees for deposits made in the accounts. For withdrawals, the first one in the month is free and then there is fee of $10 per each withdrawal.

The annual management fee is based on assets under management as follows:
  • For the first 300k up to 1.5% per year
  • Then, from USD 300,001 to 1,000,000.00 up to 1.25% per year
  • And then, from USD 1,000,001 and up, up to 1% per year

The annual management fee is based on assets under management as follows:
  • A. For clients with cash accounts, the advisory fee ranging between 1.00% to 1.50%, annually is automatically calculated by Interactive Brokers and based on a percentage of assets under management. This wrap fee is inclusive of securities transaction, sub-advisory, brokerage, and custodian fees incurred as part of their overall account management. The fee will be billed monthly, at the end of each month based upon a percentage of the value (market value or fair market value in the absence of market value) of the average daily assets held within the client's account during each calendar month. The market value is determined by Interactive Brokers. When services provided are for less than one calendar month, the fee will be prorated and the client shall pay any outstanding aggregate daily fees for the period from the day immediately following the last day of the last calendar month for which the client has paid, through the effective date of such withdrawal or termination, as of such effective date. Pursuant to a signed agreement, the Clients are generally required to authorize Adviser (i.e. Credicorp Capital Invest) and/or sub-adviser (i.e. BCP Global) to instruct Interactive Brokers to debit all advisory fees directly from the account and to pay such advisory fee to sub-adviser. Monthly advisory fees debits will appear on client’s account statements. Advisory fees will be payable, first, from free credit balances. The calculation is made daily based on the ending market value (“EMV”) of the assets managed by the Advisor the previous month. To make the daily calculation Interactive Brokers applies the annual tiered rate to the EMV and then divides it by 252 business days for the year. The fee charged is the sum of the daily fee calculations at the end of the month.
    B. For clients with margin accounts, the advisory fee is calculated manually by BCP Global. The advisory fee calculation is based on the average of the market value (“AMV”) of the assets in the account on the first and last day of the previous month. To determine the fee rate that will be applied to the AMV, the annual tiered rate is divided by 252 business days and then multiplied by the number of business days in the month. The resulting fee rate is then applied to the AMV to determine the fee charged for the month.
    Generally, the fees will be debited by Interactive Brokers and will appear on client’s account statements. Fees will be payable first, from the positive cash balance in the client’s account, if any, in the account, and second, from the liquidation of a client’s position.
