Interactive Brokers Adds Taipei Exchange Access for Global Investors

Interactive Brokers has announced that eligible clients can now trade on the Taipei Exchange (TPEx), further broadening the firm’s global market reach. The move allows investors to access equities, ETFs, and Taiwan Depositary Receipts (TDRs) listed on TPEx, alongside offerings from over 160 exchanges worldwide, all from a single platform.

TPEx is a leading Asian exchange focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing exposure to emerging high-tech, creative, and innovative industries in Taiwan. By connecting to TPEx, Interactive Brokers enables clients to diversify portfolios with investments in SMEs and micro-enterprises driving Taiwan’s developing economy. To simplify international trading, TPEx trades will feature automatic currency conversion between the client’s base currency and the New Taiwan Dollar.

Interactive Brokers Adds Taipei Exchange Access for Global Investors

David Friedland, Head of APAC at Interactive Brokers, emphasized the significance of this expansion:

“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 Interactive Brokers clients can start trading TPEx-listed products immediately through their existing accounts on any IBKR platform. New clients can open accounts in minutes, unlocking access to more than 160 global exchanges from a single, unified interface.

This expansion strengthens Interactive Brokers’ position as one of the few global trading platforms connected to TPEx, catering to investors seeking broader Asian exposure. By providing access to high-growth SMEs and emerging companies, the platform opens doors to investment opportunities often overlooked by larger markets.

However, the company notes that TPEx access through Interactive Brokers is not available to residents of Mainland China and Taiwan.

With this addition, Interactive Brokers continues to provide global investors with simplified, integrated access to diverse markets, reaffirming its commitment to innovation and worldwide reach.
