Multi-asset brokers – shares, options, futures, forex and bonds under one roof

Brokers offering exchange access across asset classes for active traders and larger portfolios, with their European licences and protection.

Multi-asset brokers give access to shares, ETFs, options, futures, bonds and forex – often on dozens of exchanges – from a single account. They suit active traders, people with larger portfolios and anyone who needs exchange-traded derivatives rather than CFDs.

The best known are Interactive Brokers (EEA clients served by Interactive Brokers Ireland), Saxo (a Danish bank), Swissquote (a listed Swiss bank with a Luxembourg entity) and EXANTE. Several Dutch and German introducing brokers, such as LYNX and CapTrader, provide Interactive Brokers' infrastructure with local-language service.

What to check

  • Which entity holds your account and therefore which compensation scheme applies.
  • Market-data fees, which can add up if you subscribe to many exchanges.
  • Margin and securities lending terms if you use a margin account.
  • Tax documentation for your country.
