    online broker for HK stocks

    Hi!
    What is a good online broker to buy HK stocks for a beginner?
    Is HSBC any good? I have a bank account with them.
    Thank you!

    HSBC is perfectly ok if you don't want go looking for the cheapest or one with the most features / margin etc, esp if you're not trading.

    Their charges are "ok" not the cheapest if that is an issue. Their monthly plan ( stocks monthly investment plan - SMIP ) is also ok if you're not willing to commit to a lump sum and want to put aside some cash every month.

    They also provide reasonable access to the US markets.

    Looking for buy and hold, not day trading. Cheaper charges would be always good ;-)

    Lots of fintech types offering free trading. Have no experience with them good or bad. Interactive Brokers is cheap also.

    Been up and down the ladder of banks / brokerages and have found HSBC to be a happy medium for HK / US stocks.
