  1. Specifically, does anyone know if I can purchase a mutual fund such as Rydex or ProFunds at IB, then use that as margin collateral for futures trading?

    thanks in advance
     
  2. no.
     
  3. thanks for the response. interesting that some rydex etf products are offered, but you're right...it's a no on the funds.
     
  4. mutual fund transactions tend to involve manual processing, which is what I think makes IB avoid them.....
