GREENWICH, CONN. -- Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global electronic broker, announced access to the Taipei Exchange (TPEx), further expanding its global reach. Eligible clients of Interactive Brokers can now trade equities, ETFs, and Taiwan Depositary Receipts (TDRs) listed on TPEx, alongside products from over 160 global exchanges from a single platform. This extends the opportunity set available to global investors seeking Asian exposure, including the growth potential afforded by emerging small and medium-sized companies listed on the TPEx.

Interactive Brokers is one of the few global trading platforms connected to TPEx, a leading Asian exchange for shares of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Through TPEx, clients can diversify their portfolios to include emerging, high-tech, and creative industries, as well as SMEs and micro-enterprises across Taiwan’s developing economy. To simplify trading, Interactive Brokers will facilitate TPEx trades with an automatic FX conversion between a client’s base currency and the New Taiwan Dollar.

David Friedland, Head of APAC for Interactive Brokers, commented, “Adding TPEx reinforces our ongoing commitment to continually extending the suite of products available to our clients. The Taipei Exchange is recognized as a leading exchange for small and mid-sized enterprises, giving our clients another means to identify diverse investment opportunities in a local Asian market.”

Current clients can begin trading products on TPEx immediately through their existing Interactive Brokers accounts on any IBKR trading platform. Prospective clients can open an account in minutes to unlock 160+ global exchanges from one unified platform.
