No-Fee Trading Expands with New ETF

Meanwhile, Interactive
Brokers has added the Ping An of China CSI HK Dividend ETF
to its
no-transaction-fee offering. The fund tracks 30 dividend-paying stocks listed
in Hong Kong across sectors such as finance, energy, and communications.
Eligible U.S. clients can trade the ETF with no upfront commission.

The move comes amid rising interest in international
dividend products as investors seek yield diversity beyond U.S. markets. In a
separate update, the broker recently reported 3.818 million daily average
revenue trades in April and $588.1 billion in client equity.

New Tax-Free Account Supports First-Time Buyers

Additionally, Interactive
Brokers has launched the First Home Savings Account
(FHSA) through its
Canadian branch. This government-registered, tax-free savings plan helps
first-time homebuyers save up to CAD 40,000 for a home purchase.

Contributions are tax-deductible up to CAD 8,000 annually,
and investment income within the account is tax-exempt if used for a qualifying
home. Unused funds can transfer to retirement savings plans, offering
flexibility for savers. The FHSA supports investments in US and Canadian
stocks, options, and bonds.
