Step 2: Select Settings

Choose Settings from the menu.

Step 3: Open Manage Account Linking

Under Account Configuration, select Manage Account Linking.

Step 4: Choose a linking option

IBKR shows four options. Here is what each one means for Plutus.

Option 1 (recommended): Create a New Linked Account That Will be Managed by an Advisor/Broker. Opens a new, empty IBKR account managed by Plutus. Transfer funds into it to get started. Your current account stays as it is.

Option 2: Link my Existing Account to an Advisor/Broker. Links your entire account to Plutus. Choose this if you want Plutus to run the whole account and you will not hold personal investments or trade in it.

Option 3: Link My Existing Account to an Administrator. Not used for Plutus. Skip this option.

Option 4: Divide My Account into Two Partitions, One of Which Will Be Managed by an Advisor. Splits your account into two partitions, with one managed by Plutus. An alternative to creating a new linked account.

Select the option you want, then select Continue. Most people choose the first option.
