I know there were plans to add a number of new Exchanges last year, that may have been waylaid by COVID and/or any number of IBKR server outages, meaning a spike in complaints and account fixes.
Would it be possible to get an idea - similar to the expectations set with regards to the whopping numbers of new stocks that were added in Q4 last year - as to what exchanges are being prioritised this year and a worst case expectation as to the delivery of these please?
The priority switched from adding multiple exchanges to covering as many instruments as possible from the existing ones.
For now, we’d like to finish adding everything we can from the existing exchanges & making them available in fractional shares. Once that’s done, hopefully in the next month or so, we’ll examine the possibility of adding new exchanges around the end of Q1.
The exchanges that’ll be added the soonest are ones without specific regulatory or transaction fees like stamp duties, transaction taxes, etc…
Examples: Belgium, Vienna & other smaller exchanges.
Great mate - thanks for the update. I’m sure there were a lot of call outs for Warsaw and the Portuguese exchanges too, so hopefully they sit in that bucket. Cheers!
