SINGAPORE, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tiger Brokers Singapore has been named Best Personal Investment Platform at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, recognising a breakthrough year for the platform in Singapore and its growing appeal among self-directed investors. The award follows Tiger Brokers' recent recognition as one of CNBC and Statista's World's Top Fintech Companies of 2026, capping a run of industry accolades for the platform. This milestone comes on the back of a record year for the business.
In 2025, net profit rose 96% year-on-year and trading orders increased 52%, both reaching all-time highs. Most recently, Tiger Brokers saw its total trading volume further reaching a record high in Q2'26, up 92% YoY with active trading accounts growing for the tenth consecutive year in Singapore, underscoring the platform's ability to attract new clients while sustaining engagement across an expanding base.
At a time when investor attention is increasingly difficult to earn, Tiger Brokers distinguished itself by delivering a strong return on that attention through tools, education and insights.
Central to that success is Tiger Brokers' focus on making investing easier and more accessible. Through the Tiger Trade app, clients can access stocks, ETFs, options, futures, bonds and funds across multiple global markets from a single account, while integrated market data, news, community features and educational resources reduce much of the complexity traditionally associated with investing.
In July 2025, Tiger Brokers widened access further by introducing Central Provident Fund (CPF) and Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) trading capabilities, allowing eligible clients to invest their retirement savings through the platform. The breadth of the offering and its intuitive experience helped Tiger Brokers maintain a 98% customer retention rate in 2025.
Investment in decision-support tools reinforced that momentum. Following the February 2025 upgrade of TigerAI with the DeepSeek-R1 model, use of the platform's AI investment assistant rose sharply — monthly user interactions increased 83% and monthly active users grew 54% over the following three months. Alongside TigerAI, financial literacy platform Tiger Academy, community discussions, webinars and market insights give users multiple ways to build knowledge, test strategies and navigate markets with greater confidence.
Tiger Brokers has also extended its offering beyond investing. Tiger Vault, a cash management solution for idle cash, and the Tiger BOSS Debit Card, which rewards spending with fractional shares, enable clients to keep more of their cash within the Tiger ecosystem while retaining the flexibility to invest or spend as needed. Annual spending volume on the card increased nearly 40% year-on-year in 2025, with total cardholders growing 22% in the latest Q2'26, signifying how this integrated approach is resonating with customers.
Concurrently, Tiger Brokers continues to strengthen its brand presence by integrating its customer touchpoints into local lifestyle scenes to deepen engagement with the younger audiences.
"This recognition reflects the trust our clients place in us and the work of the team behind the platform. Our focus has always been on giving self-directed investors the tools, education and access they need to invest with confidence — and we're honoured that Euromoney has recognised that commitment." said Ian Leong, CEO, Tiger Brokers Singapore.
The Euromoney Awards for Excellence honour institutions that set the standard in the global financial industry.

Tiger Brokers Singapore Named Best Personal Investment Platform at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026
New innovation hub accelerates AI commercialization through research, engineering expertise and global supply chain support
HONG KONG, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Avnet (NASDAQ: AVT), a leading global technology distributor and solutions provider, today joined The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in officially opening the Emerging Microelectronics and Ubiquitous Systems Lab (EMUS Lab), a collaborative innovation hub designed to accelerate AI hardware commercialization by connecting research, innovation, engineering expertise and global supply chain capabilities.
Located at the Data Technology Hub in Tseung Kwan O InnoPark, EMUS Lab focuses on next-generation technologies including edge AI, physical AI, robotics, high-performance computing (HPC) and emerging microelectronics. By bringing together academic research, startups and industry, the Lab provides innovators with access to engineering consultation, GPU computing resources, prototyping support, manufacturability assessments and supply chain expertise needed to transform breakthrough ideas into scalable, market-ready products. Through Avnet's broader ecosystem, including element14, an Avnet company specializing in proof-of-concept development and prototyping, innovators can access the tools, technologies and support needed in the early stages of product development, while leveraging Avnet's engineering, design chain and global supply chain expertise to accelerate the journey from prototype to production.
As AI moves beyond cloud-based models into intelligent devices, robotics and industrial systems, bringing AI into the physical world increasingly depends not only on advanced AI models, but also on the ability to engineer, manufacture and scale AI-enabled hardware. Industry analysts project strong growth in the adoption of edge AI, physical AI and intelligent autonomous systems over the coming decade¹. With its strong research ecosystem, international connectivity and proximity to the Greater Bay Area manufacturing network, Hong Kong is uniquely positioned to accelerate the commercialization of AI-enabled hardware technologies.
Arthur Chung, Vice President, Sales and Supplier Management, Asia, Avnet, said: "Building a great AI model is only the beginning. Turning AI innovation into a reliable, manufacturable and scalable product remains one of the biggest barriers to commercialization. EMUS Lab was created to help innovators bridge that gap by combining research with engineering expertise, supply chain readiness and market access, enabling them to move faster from prototype to product."
Prof. Ngai Wong, Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at HKU Faculty of Engineering, and Director of EMUS Lab, said: "EMUS Lab was established to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world application. By bringing together researchers, students, startups and industry partners, we are creating an environment where research excellence, engineering expertise and industry needs converge to accelerate AI and microelectronics innovation. Together with Avnet, we are helping transform research outcomes into technologies that deliver meaningful societal and economic impact."
Prior to its official opening, EMUS Lab had already demonstrated measurable impact. Research supported by Avnet-sponsored GPU infrastructure has contributed to publications in Nature family journals and presentations at leading AI conferences including ICLR and ICML, highlighting the Lab's early research impact.
The opening ceremony brought together representatives from Avnet, HKU and local universities, the broader innovation ecosystem, industry partners and the technology community for keynote presentations, a memorandum of understanding signing ceremony, laboratory tours and technology demonstrations.
Accelerating AI Innovation from Prototype to Product
One of EMUS Lab's first major industry engagement initiatives is the DfMA Launchpad for AI MMP Programme, a 12-month co-incubation programme that connects EMUS Lab, Avnet and ecosystem stakeholders to support AI startups.
The programme combines Avnet's engineering and global supply chain expertise with EMUS Lab's advanced research infrastructure and the startup ecosystem of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) to provide technical mentorship, hardware-software co-design, system validation, manufacturability guidance and industry connections, helping startups move more efficiently from prototype development to scalable production.
The programme has already attracted strong interest from the startup community, with 27 startup teams selected to participate, reflecting growing demand for practical expertise that helps accelerate the path from AI innovation to market deployment.
As AI increasingly shifts from experimentation to large-scale deployment, EMUS Lab provides a collaborative platform where academia, startups and industry partners can accelerate AI hardware innovation across healthcare, robotics, industrial automation, smart living and smart city applications. By combining world-class research, startup innovation, engineering expertise and global supply chain capabilities within a single ecosystem, the Lab helps transform breakthrough ideas into products that can be built, scaled and deployed globally, while strengthening Hong Kong's position as a leading hub for AI hardware innovation and technology commercialization.
