eToro expands access to HKEX-listed stocks and ETPs
eToro expands Asian market reach
eToro, a global trading and investment platform, has announced a significant expansion of its asset offering by gradually introducing all Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX)-listed stocks and exchange-traded products (ETPs) to its platform.
This move will provide eToro users with access to a broader range of Chinese and Asian equities, along with real-time pricing data sourced directly from HKEX, according to the broker’s official website.
The rollout includes a wide variety of financial instruments such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and leveraged or inverse products, enabling investors to diversify their portfolios with increased exposure to Asian markets. This expansion aligns with eToro’s mission to make global markets more accessible to retail investors worldwide.
Relevance and strategic importance
According to eToro’s Retail Investor Beat—a quarterly global survey involving 10,000 retail investors across 12 countries—22% of respondents believe China will deliver the highest returns over the next five years. The addition of HKEX instruments is expected to reflect this growing investor sentiment, offering more opportunities for those seeking exposure to Chinese market dynamics.
Yossi Brandes, VP of Execution Services at eToro, emphasized the strategic value of the development:
“At eToro, our mission is to make global markets accessible to everyone, which is why we’ve enabled access to more than 20 stock exchanges. By expanding our stock and ETP offering to include more companies listed on HKEX—one of the world’s top ten stock exchanges by market capitalization—we are further reinforcing this commitment, offering investors access to leading Chinese and international companies.”
HKEX support and long-term outlook
Winnie Sin, Head of Data Business at HKEX, echoed this enthusiasm, noting that the partnership will enhance opportunities for global investors:
“We are pleased to collaborate with eToro to bring the dynamic opportunities of our market to the international investor community. This partnership will broaden retail investor access to the Hong Kong market and empower their decision-making through high-quality market data.”
This latest expansion represents another step in eToro’s efforts to enhance its product suite and global presence. By offering localized investment opportunities backed by reliable market data, eToro continues to support both novice and experienced investors in making confident, diversified investment decisions on a truly global scale.
As a reminder, eToro previously announced the upcoming launch of a stock lending program that will allow users in the UK and Europe to earn passive income by lending out their shares.
