IEM Account Registration Form


For access to U.S. $ denominated markets

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • You can invest from $5 to $500 in the IEM. There is an additional one-time service charge of $5.00 to activate your account.
  • If you do not use your account, you may incur fees. If you open an account and the time between your logins exceeds 6 months, you will be assessed a semi-annual inactivity fee. The inactivity fee is $5 or the balance in your account, whichever is lower. This inactivity fee is assessed each January 1 and July 1, based on your previous 6 months' activity. You can avoid inactivity fees entirely by logging in to your account at least once every 6 months. You need only log in; you do not need to execute trades to avoid these fees.
  • All traders must review the IEM Traders Manual. The manual is available at https://iemweb.biz.uiowa.edu/trmanual/. You can read this manual online, or save a copy by holding down your shift key while clicking on the hypertext address.
  • Your username will be the email address that you enter in the form. Once you submit the form, a confirmation email will be sent with a link that you will need to click in order to confirm the email address you have entered. You will not be able to trade without first confirming your email address. If you do not receive this confirmation email, please contact the IEM office at iem@uiowa.edu or call (319)335-0881. (Note: Check your junk email address folder!)
  • Print two copies of the account confirmation page: one for your records and one to send to the IEM Office. The confirmation page will appear on your screen after you fill out the registration page and click on the submit button.
  • Complete the confirmation page and mail it to the IEM Office with your check. After you print the confirmation page write the amount of your initial investment on the initial investment line. Then write a check to "University of Iowa" in the amount of your initial investment PLUS the one-time $5.00 account activation service charge.
    (For payment by means other than a check drawn on a U.S. bank for U.S. dollars, click here.)
    Mail the printout, together with your payment, to:
    IEM Administrator
    108 John Pappajohn Business Building
    University of Iowa
    Iowa City, Iowa 52242
  • The IEM Office will activate your account within 2 business days after you submit the registration form. You cannot trade until your account is activated.
  • If you have any questions, contact the IEM Office at iem@uiowa.edu or call (319)335-0881.
