Financial markets have experienced significant upheavals over the past few years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, an inflationary economic environment, unprecedented US interest rate hikes, and the anticipated start of rate cuts. Throughout these challenges, online brokerage Tiger Brokers has successfully adapted.
Tiger Brokers has made substantial strides, from enhancing investor education to expanding its range of products. This growth has been evident, and it is now estimated that one in three adults in Singapore has a Tiger brokerage account.
Just a couple of weeks back, we attended Tiger Brokers 10th anniversary event and it is no surprise to see them introducing new initiatives such as the Cash Boost Account that will continue to benefit their users during the event.
In today’s article, we will dive in to do a quick review of the newly launched Cash Boost Account which is yet another cool feature that one can open as a Tiger Brokers user.
What it is:
The Cash Boost Account is an innovative addition to the Prime account, tailored specifically for traders. It offers the convenience of trading with a credit limit, so you don’t need to deposit funds upfront. This allows you to start trading as soon as your account is approved.
This account facilitates Contra Trading, where you don’t take possession of the stocks you buy or deliver the stocks you sell. Instead, you purchase stocks without any initial cash outlay and sell them after a certain period. You then settle any outstanding differences, which could result in either profits or losses.
