Brokers that open China to foreigners
The access path differs by share class — ADRs need any US broker; H-shares need HK access; A-shares need Stock Connect. The Broker Finder maps this out by region.
Interactive Brokers
Widest access of any retail broker: ADRs, HKEX, and Northbound Stock Connect for A-shares. The default for serious cross-border investors.
Best for: full China access
Charles Schwab
US ADRs and HK-listed H-shares via global trading; no direct A-share (Stock Connect) access.
Best for: US investors, ADR + H-share
Fidelity
US-listed ADRs and many HK names; broad international desk, no direct A-shares.
Best for: long-term ADR holders
Moomoo / Tiger
App-first brokers popular with Asia-based retail; HK + US + (Tiger) some A-share routing. Check entity and jurisdiction per region.
Best for: mobile-first, Asia time zones
Saxo Bank
Institutional-grade access to HKEX and a wide ETF shelf; often used by EU/UK investors who can't buy US-domiciled ETFs.
Best for: EU/UK, UCITS access
