LYNX & Interactive Brokers — A Powerful Alliance for Active Investors
Investing via LYNX means benefiting from the best of two worlds: the local expertise of a Dutch Centre of Excellence and the global reach and infrastructure of Interactive Brokers.
By opening an account, you enter into two agreements—one with LYNX and one with Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited (IB)—giving you access to cutting-edge trading technology and professional market education.
Together, LYNX and IB combine robust execution power with practical insights, forming a comprehensive and dependable platform for serious investors.
An online broker acts as an intermediary for retail investors who wish to trade on stock exchanges or other financial markets. Investors open an investment account and place orders for shares, options, or other instruments through the broker’s platform, which then transmits those orders to the exchange. In return, the broker receives a fee.
A World of Investment Opportunities
Invest globally—anytime, anywhere. Through LYNX, you gain access to key Dutch and international exchanges. Whether trading shares, ETFs, options, or futures, the platform offers the tools and markets to support your strategy.
While the range of products and tools is extensive, investing always involves risk. Risks vary by instrument, and in many cases, you may lose your entire investment—or more. Only invest in products whose risks you fully understand and that suit your circumstances.

The Risks of Investing
Investing in financial instruments involves risks. Market prices may fluctuate, and depending on the product, this can result in the loss of your initial investment—or more in specific cases. It is important to only invest funds that are not needed for immediate expenses.
At LYNX, we believe informed investing is essential. It is important to reflect on your personal circumstances, investment objectives, and the characteristics of the products you intend to invest in.
Market Risk
Market risk refers to potential losses caused by economic developments. For instance, slowing growth can reduce a company’s value, impacting its shares. A diversified portfolio may help limit this risk.
Price Risk
Price risk refers to the potential impact of changing investment prices. Since markets constantly move, this risk is always present. Proper diversification can help reduce its effect.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk refers to the possible decline in investment value due to rising market rates. Higher rates can reduce consumer spending and increase corporate borrowing costs, which may pressure company profits—and affect shares, bonds, and related investment funds.
Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the possibility that an issuer—such as a company or government—fails to meet its financial obligations. Defaults or missed payments may lead to a significant loss in investment value.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that investments cannot—or can barely—be traded on an exchange. As a result, you may be unable to close positions when desired or may have to accept unfavorable pricing.
Currency Risk
Currency risk occurs when investing in assets denominated in a currency other than the euro. If the exchange rate of that currency weakens against the euro, it may reduce the value of those investments.
Inflation Risk
Inflation risk refers to the possibility that rising prices reduce the real return on investments. As purchasing power declines, the actual value of returns may fall below their nominal amount.
