Press Release

Saxo offers more value for money with latest pricing cuts, making it the most international broker in Hong Kong with best prices for Japanese and European equities

Saxo, the leader in online trading and investment, today announces a set of comprehensive pricing changes in Hong Kong, as part of a global roll out of standardised and reduced pricing.

Saxo clients in Hong Kong can now enjoy substantial price reductions, especially when they trade US and HKEX stocks, amongst other products such as ETFs, ETPs, Listed Options and Futures. With the lower fees, Saxo offers the best value for money as it further empowers investors to make more of their returns.

“In today's investment landscape, the value Saxo offers to our clients defined by our ability to provide cost-efficient solutions, powered by our European pedigree and award-winning platforms and services,” Ken Shih, Head of Wealth Management, Greater China, Saxo Hong Kong, comments.

“Lower costs mean higher potential gains for our growing number of clients. As investors have increasing demands to the overall investment experience, the ability to trade multi-asset, across markets and be guided by tools and services are already what Saxo offers and does well. For example, Saxo is now the cheapest broker for people wanting to invest into more niche markets or regions like Europe and Japan, and we are very competitive also on the popular U.S. and home market stocks,” Shih adds.
 
“This pricing overhaul is an important strategic move for us for the future, as we take another big step forward to create more win-win with our clients. Last year, Saxo crossed the milestone of serving over 1 million clients globally, our scale enables us to significantly lower our fees and prices. This scale isn't just a number – it's a testament to the trust our clients place in us and a responsibility we take seriously to continuously seek ways to enhance their investment experience,” Shih comments.
