RV Capital AG just did the financial equivalent of breaking up over text-selling 50,653 shares of Interactive Brokers for ~$3.19 million, according to their October 2025 SEC filing. Let me guess: you’re already Googling “how to unfollow a toxic stock ex.”
What happened
On October 22, 2025, RV Capital AG whispered, “It’s not you, it’s me” to Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR +2.35%), offloading 50,653 shares like they were expired coupons for financial regret. The math? Roughly $3.19 million, based on some average closing price that probably doesn’t exist in real life. Now they’re left with 799,267 shares, valued at $54,997,562 as of September 30, 2025. Still enough to fund a very expensive therapist.
What else to know
This wasn’t a full breakup-it was the financial version of “I’ll just take the dog and the Wi-Fi password.” Interactive Brokers now sits at 10.1% of RV Capital’s reported AUM. Their top holdings? A list that reads like a Bingo card for middle-aged men who still think the 2000s are cool:
- Carvana: $167.97 million (30.8% of AUM) – because nothing says “secure future” like buying cars off the internet.
- Meta Platforms: $102.60 million (18.8% of AUM) – still pretending the metaverse is a thing.
- Credit Acceptance Corp: $60.90 million (11.1% of AUM) – because subprime loans are just “edgy investments.”
- Wix.com: $55.95 million (10.2% of AUM) – building websites for people who hate websites.
- Interactive Brokers: $55 million (10.1% of AUM) – the one that got away… partially.
As of October 21, 2025, Interactive Brokers’ shares sat at $66.27, beating the S&P 500 by 64 percentage points. Congrats, IBKR. You’re the golden child. Now go make everyone else feel inadequate.

Company Snapshot
Interactive Brokers is the Gordon Ramsay of electronic brokerage-brash, brilliant, and serving up a menu of stocks, options, futures, forex, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, precious metals, and cryptocurrencies. They cater to institutional clients (think hedge funds with trust issues) and individual investors who still believe in “the next big thing.”
Their platform? A global trading buffet with access to 150+ markets. It’s like Airbnb, but for financial chaos. And yet, they’ve managed to scale like a startup that forgot what “sustainable growth” means.
Foolish take
RV Capital’s move? Not panic-worthy, but also not exactly a love letter. They trimmed a stake that’s now 10.1% of their AUM-up from 8% despite selling a third of their shares over two years. How? Because Interactive Brokers tripled in value while adding customers like they were going out of style. The stock’s P/E ratio? A “reasonable” 33. For a company growing at warp speed, it’s like paying full price for a first-class ticket to Boomtown.
Interactive Brokers has won awards for things like “best platform for option traders” and “best broker for international trades.” It’s the Beyoncé of brokerage firms-iconic, versatile, and slightly terrifying. And yet, even Beyoncé needs a break sometimes. RV Capital’s trimming isn’t a betrayal-it’s just financial FOMO management.
