Recent Product Launches Include Fractional Shares Trading in U.S. Securities
JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ViewTrade Holding Corp. (“ViewTrade”) and Taiwan-based SinoPac Securities (“SinoPac”), which have been partners for nearly two decades, announced that tens of thousands of investors in Taiwan have now benefitted from the fractional shares capability through SinoPac’s Stock Savings Plan. The integration of the trading system from SinoPac, with technology from Orbis Systems, and market connectivity from ViewTrade Securities (both subsidiaries of ViewTrade Holding), made the purchase of fractional shares in U.S. securities in Taiwan a reality.
“We are honored to have helped SinoPac become the first broker in Taiwan to offer clients the ability to fractionally invest in U.S.-listed securities online,” said Kenneth J. Chan, Managing Director at ViewTrade Holding. “This is a notable example of ViewTrade’s collaborative approach with our clients. SinoPac came to us with the request, and we worked side-by-side through a few regulatory hurdles and time experimenting with the new offering within a FinTech Regulatory Sandbox. Today, we remain committed to supporting SinoPac as the firm continues to leverage our partnership to be able to further democratize investing for its customers in Taiwan, while offering them seamless and cost-efficient access to U.S. securities.”
It is through SinoPac’s trading app DAWHO “大戶投,” that customers are able to select from 36 U.S. equities and 48 exchange traded funds (ETFs) to invest in periodically, choosing the same date each month. To further their retail trading innovation and enhance their periodic investing offering, SinoPac Securities wanted to make it possible for individual investors to invest a fixed amount each month in fractional shares of U.S. securities to take advantage of dollar-cost averaging.
