Hong Kong international stock brokers comparison table

The table below compares major Hong Kong stock brokers who can buy foreign shares. If you haven’t already done so, I recommend you begin by reading the Hong Kong international stock broker guide for an overview of what’s available and then using this table to compare firms. Further details of fees and services are listed on each stock broker’s individual page.
If you’re looking for the cheapest broker in Hong Kong to buy Hong Kong stocks, the going rate from local firms is about 0.15-0.3% with a minimum of HK$80-100. However, the lowest advertised rate is the local division of US group Interactive Brokers, at 0.088% with a minimum of HK$18, while Standard Chartered charges 0.2% online and 0.3% by phone with no minimum. See the Hong Kong discount stock broker comparison table for more.
Most Hong Kong stock brokers will accept non-resident investors. However, some will probably not do business with US citizens or residents, for reasons explained in this article.
