Shenzhen-Hong Kong Connect Program Launched
Interactive Brokers established a new Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program in November.

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.
