Interactive Brokers is set to offer trading of Brazilian equities through a B3 connection.
The new offering aims to expand investor access to emerging markets in Latin America, alongside the firm’s current global stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds and funds product suite.
Specifically, Interactive Brokers’ clients are set to benefit from enhanced market access – able to gain direct access to the assets through the firm’s single unified platform, from anywhere across the world.
“Global investors need seamless access to diverse markets to stay competitive,” said Milan Galik, chief executive of Interactive Brokers.
“By adding Brazil’s B3 Exchange, we’re giving our clients efficient, low-cost access to one of the world’s most dynamic emerging economies through our unified global platform.”

The addition of equities trading access through B3 aligns with Interactive Brokers’ aim to enhance efficiency and low-cost access to markets across the world, and currently, the firm offers clients connections with more than 160 markets.
Clients are also able to carry out funding and trading in up to 28 currencies.
Earlier this week, the firm announced that it had connected with two United Arab Emirates (UAE) exchanges, to provide Interactive Brokers’ clients with market access to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and the Dubai Financial Market (DFM).
The news aligns with the firm’s aim to expand its footprint in the Middle East, and follows a collaboration with HSBC in July, to deliver a new trading solution for trading assets in the UAE.
