Interactive Brokers New Plan d’Epargne en Actions Accounts

Interactive Brokers Group today announced the launch of its Plan d’Epargne en Actions (PEA) accounts, designed to offer French tax-resident clients a cost-effective way to invest in diversified portfolios while enjoying favorable tax exemptions. The new accounts aim to simplify the investment process, with a focus on helping clients reach their savings goals through an extensive selection of European securities.

The PEA accounts provide a tax-efficient savings structure, allowing French investors to build wealth with a range of French and European stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds. In addition to tax advantages, the accounts come with low commissions and no added custody or transfer fees, making them an attractive option for long-term investors.

This offers access to global markets, enabling clients to trade stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds, and funds across 150 global markets. This unified platform combines the tax-efficient PEA structure with global investment opportunities, giving clients a comprehensive investment solution.

Opening and funding a PEA account is simple and fast, with Interactive Brokers facilitating both new account openings and transfers of existing accounts.
