Global share trading platform Tiger Brokers goes local

Tiger Brokers wants to become a one-stop shop for New Zealand customers with the introduction of NZX-listed equities and ETFs on its platform.

From today, traders on the online broker’s platform will be able to access the 178-odd stocks and ETFs listed on the New Zealand market, in addition to the array of 7,000 global options already available.

Tiger Brokers’ chief strategy officer Greg Boland says the addition of locally-listed equities and ETFs rounds out the platform’s offering as well as answering a call from potential customers who want to trade NZX.

“A lot of people say, ‘I'm happy to trade through you guys, but you don't offer NZX’,” says Boland. “They say ‘when you offer NZX we’ll sign up’, because they know they can put everything in one basket.”
