the most important thing IF IB comes to malaysia is survivorship / estate planning.
You die as individual account holder, hopefully your heir can directly go to their office, present your will and death cert and they transfer the account to the heir.

As of today, you send a pdf to HK office. Imagine the security and possible pitfalls.

I'm also very much looking forward to re-opening a joint account with rights of survivorship with my wife.
As of today if you already have an individual account they treat you like a terrorist / money launderer if you try to do this kind of changes via "chat" or phone call.

Include your assets in a will, that would need to be drafted separately from your Malaysia's will (and that of other Commonwealth countries, if any)

If your IBKR account is based in the UK, Australia or Singapore, then no worries, can include them in your will.

If you have kids, expose them to investment world when they start to grow up... at least that's what I plan to do.

Hey guys, is Interactive Broker the best trading platform for Malaysians who want to trade US stocks and HK stocks?
