Interactive Brokers has expanded its range of no-transaction-fee ETFs by introducing a dividend ETF focused on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This move aims to provide U.S. clients with cost-effective access to a selection of high-dividend stocks in one of Asia’s major financial centers. Steve Sanders, EVP of Marketing and Product Development at Interactive Brokers, emphasized the firm’s dedication to offering low-cost trading through its ETF program.
The newly introduced Ping An of China CSI HK Dividend ETF tracks the CSI Hong Kong Dividend Index, comprising 30 dividend-paying stocks across various sectors like finance, energy, and communications. These sectors play a crucial role in bolstering the economic foundation of the region. This ETF offering is available through Interactive Brokers’ no-transaction-fee program, enabling eligible U.S. clients to trade without upfront commissions, with IBKR Lite clients enjoying zero fees.
As global equity markets face valuation uncertainties and interest rate fluctuations, there is a growing interest in international ETFs with a focus on dividend-heavy stocks for their yield stability and sector diversification. Interactive Brokers recently reported a significant increase in trading engagement, with over 3.8 million Daily Average Revenue Trades (DARTs) for the month, reflecting a surge in activity on its platform.
Furthermore, Interactive Brokers disclosed a substantial year-over-year growth in client equity, reaching $588.1 billion, and a rise in the total number of client accounts to 3.71 million. This growth trend indicates a steady influx of new users leveraging the platform’s offerings. Additionally, the company introduced the First Home Savings Account in Canada, a tax-free investment tool designed to assist Canadians in achieving their homeownership goals.
The addition of the Hong Kong-focused dividend ETF aligns with Interactive Brokers’ strategy to expand its global presence and provide investors with diverse options to enhance their portfolios. By offering access to high-dividend stocks through a cost-effective ETF, Interactive Brokers aims to cater to the evolving needs of investors seeking exposure to the dynamic Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
