GENERAL INFORMATION
Founded in 2014, Tiger Brokers is a global online broker operated by Tiger Brokers (Singapore) Pte Ltd. Tiger Brokers advertises that it enable clients to trade a wide range of securities across multiple global markets and currencies. Tiger Brokers has offices in Singapore, New York, Beijing, Auckland, and Sydney and employs over 800 people. There is no detailed regulatory license information displayed on its website, so Tiger Brokers is obviously an unregulated broker.
Tiger Brokers is a NASDAQ-listed Chinese corporation. It has the backing of numerous major companies, including Xiaomi and the US-based brokerage Interactive Brokers. Apart from Singapore, they have operations in the United States, China, and Australia.
Tiger Brokers launched their Tiger Trade app in Singapore in February 2020, at the commencement of the Covid-19 epidemic. This was good timing, with everyone remaining at home and investing. Their investing platform lets you trade Singapore, US, Hong Kong, China and Australia stocks, Singapore ETFs and REITs, and US ETFs. Other securities you can trade include indices, metals, treasury securities and energy futures, with more to come.
Tiger brokers Compliance & Regulation
Tiger Brokers Singapore has a Capital Markets Service License, granted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Tiger Brokers Australia also has an AFS (Australian Financial Services) License, which was granted to it by the ASIC. The license number from the AFS is 505213.
New Zealand has registered this broker on its Financial Service Providers Register (No. FSP473106). Tiger Brokers (US) is a member of FINRA/SIPC and the SEC (CRD: 120583; SEC: 8-65324). The NFA regulates Tiger Brokers (US) as well (No. 0328552).
PROS
For SGX traders, the 0.08 percent price is appealing and equivalent to what competitors such as Saxo Markets and Interactive Brokers charge. Tiger Brokers, on the other hand, outperforms the competition by requiring no minimum order.
Another feature that distinguishes Tiger Brokers is the absence of any minimum capital requirement, inactivity fees, or maintenance costs. At least one is required by most systems.
Aside from the fees you pay for a transaction, there aren't many hidden charges to worry about, however you should still keep an eye out for things like bank transfer fees when topping up your account.
CONS
If you want to trade mostly on SGX, Tiger Brokers is currently one of the most cost-effective solutions accessible, thanks to the lack of a minimum order and the reasonable 0.08 percent charge.
However, Tiger Brokers isn't always the cheapest option for trading US equities, since some platforms, such as TD Ameritrade, provide commission-free trading in US stocks.
