Tiger Brokers is aware of the media reports made today regarding potential regulatory policies related to online brokers and would advise relevant stakeholders to take note of the following:
1. Since inception, the firm has always been committed to providing a first-class investment experience for global investors. The firm’s business model is comparable to other brokers in Singapore and Hong Kong and the firm is not conducting any financial services business that is outside standard industry practice. The firm rigidly adheres to all regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions we operate in.
2. Presently the firm possesses 46 licenses in 36 categories across a wide range of global jurisdictions including Singapore, Hong Kong S.A.R., The U.S., and Australia, among others. The firm continues to execute on its internationalization strategy and in the third quarter of 2021, more than 90% of newly funded accounts were derived from markets outside of mainland China. The firm remains focused on investing in research and development to enable more international investors to enjoy secure, comprehensive and convenient access to global capital markets.
3. Compliance with laws and regulations is core to the firm’s operations. Should new regulations be introduced in the future, the firm will strictly comply with relevant guidelines and enact new compliance protocols. Furthermore, in the case that relevant authorities promulgate new regulations that have a material effect on our business, the firm will make appropriate disclosures to investors without delay.
4. Finally, the firm notes that in recent months certain institutions have been disseminating misleading information in order to profiteer from short selling. The firm rejects such malicious short selling activities. We will stay in communication with relevant regulatory authorities and reserve our right to hold those disseminating false information accountable in accordance with the law.
