Tiger Brokers NZ unveils app to help Kiwis invest globally
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Aug. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

The Fintech-driven New Zealand company Tiger Brokers (NZ) Limited (TBNZ) is set 
to enable Kiwi investors dip their toes into multiple world's most liquid 
equity markets and build diversified global portfolios. 

Leveraging on the deep industry knowhow, strong research and development 
capability, the company today announced to launch Tiger Trade, a mobile 
application that offers a relatively low commission for both the first-time and 
experienced Kiwi traders to invest in the US, UK and Hong Kong equities 
markets. 

"The millennial generation who were born with a significant impact on the 
development of internet technologies is one of our potential target users," 
said Vincent Cheung, CEO of TBNZ. "Given the uniqueness in their investing 
habits, most of the young kiwis are focusing on investing in things that they 
are familiar with and things that they're contributing to."

According to Cheung, many of the products that the millennial consumed and the 
social media platforms they used in daily lives are from the US-listed 
companies.

Although the liquid assets of the millennials are relatively lower, the number 
is expected to surge by the end of the decade, as the young people enter their 
prime earning years and a beginning of a considerable wealth transfer from 
their parents. 

Meanwhile, the maturing of the millennials will also lift spending in the 
technology-driven industries such as household, automobile, education, retails, 
social media etc., and the "powerful demographic tide", which is described as 
the "largest generation of shoppers" by the US financial magazine Barron's, 
will also boost the growth of the stocks and keep the industries continue 
rising as the population grows. 

The initial version of Tiger Trade was firstly launched in 2015. Thanks to the 
company's robust self-developed fintech solutions, commission fees have been 
substantially reduced and the efficiency of order execution has seen tremendous 
pace of growth.

There have been more than 100 versions of updates applied to the app to address 
users' diversified needs and improve their using experiences. As of 2018, the 
number of the customer accounts reached to more than 500 thousand, and achieved 
a total trading volume of US$119 billion.

in Asia, was successfully listed on Nasdaq this March. Established with a 
global vision, the company is committed to revolutionizing the online trading
