Stock Yield Enhancement Program: Earn Extra Income on Your Stocks

Earn extra income on the fully-paid shares of stock held in your account by allowing IBKR to borrow your shares in exchange for collateral. IBKR then lends the shares to traders who want to sell them short and are willing to pay interest to borrow them.
