Interactive Brokers Further Expands Offerings with Access to Taiwan Stock Exchange

Following connections with Nasdaq Copenhagen (CPH) and the Prague Stock Exchange (PSE)​ last month, Interactive Brokers, one of the biggest US-based brokerage firms, has announced access to the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE), allowing its customers to invest in the Taiwanese market without maintaining a relationship with a separate regional broker.

Global eligible clients of Interactive Brokers can now trade Taiwanese stocks, ETFs and TDRs alongside global stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds, funds and more from a single unified platform.

The partnership with the TWSE facilitates trades by Asia-focused strategic investment managers and sophisticated retail investors who are interested in exposure to its emerging sectors, such as energy storage and pharmaceuticals, in addition to their already well-known semiconductor industry.

David Friedland, Head of APAC at Interactive Brokers, said: "Access to the Taiwan Stock Exchange strengthens Interactive Brokers' presence in Asian markets and enhances the company's global footprint. Extending our global reach underscores our dedication to providing experienced traders and institutional investors unparalleled market access worldwide."

Commissions on Taiwanese stocks are 0.03 to 0.08% of trade value plus third-party fees for tiered pricing, depending on monthly volume.
