TPEx serves as a hub for Taiwan’s small and medium-sized enterprises, offering global investors a chance to diversify into high-growth sectors such as technology, creative industries, and micro-enterprises.

Commenting about the move, David Friedland, the Head of APAC for Interactive Brokers, said: “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.”

By connecting through Interactive Brokers, traders can benefit from automatic foreign exchange conversion, easing transactions between a client’s base currency and the New Taiwan Dollar.

How Investors Can Access TPEx

Existing Interactive Brokers clients can start trading TPEx products immediately using their current accounts across IBKR platforms. New clients can open an account in minutes, gaining entry to global markets spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

It’s important to note that TPEx access via Interactive Brokers is unavailable to residents of China Mainland and Taiwan, limiting participation to international investors.
