Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBKR) has released its
year-end IB Communiqué informing clients worldwide about its new
Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program. The company also rolled
out enhancements to its IBot trading technology and IB Trader

Shenzhen-Hong Kong Connect Program Launched
Interactive Brokers established a new Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock
Connect Program in November. This follows the 2014 creation of the
Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program, which opened the Shanghai
Stock Exchange to IB’s Hong Kong and international clients. With
the new Shenzhen program, China continues to expand the stocks that
are available to trade.
“As an exchange participant in this program, IB’s Hong Kong and
international clients can now trade designated Chinese securities
on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, giving them expanded access to
China’s emerging industries,” said Steven Sanders, Executive Vice
President of Marketing and Product Development at Interactive
Brokers.
