    I understand that the borrowing costs are not what you would like to discuss.

    It's all about the cost of funding.
    A bank rated AAA can fund you for much less than IB if you can establish a prime brokerage relationship with them.
    As for the tiny boutiques out there....no chance they can compete. Full stop.
