Introducing Global Stocks on Robinhood

Invest in over 250 global companies like Tencent, Nintendo, or Adidas, commission-free

Many of you have expressed interest in investing in global companies that aren’t currently available on Robinhood. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be rolling out American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on Robinhood, adding over 250 new stocks of global companies.

Invest in companies you love from around the world, from countries including China, Japan, Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Some of the most frequently searched companies, such as Tencent, Nintendo, and Adidas, will be available on Robinhood, along with many others. Search “New on Robinhood” on mobile or web to view the full list.

In the coming months, we’ll also expand the global list with stocks from France, including most frequently searched companies Ubisoft Entertainment, LVMH, and Michelin.

ADRs allow you to invest in companies that are based outside the U.S., and aren’t listed on U.S. stock exchanges such as Nasdaq and NYSE. You may also choose to invest in global stocks to diversify your portfolio. As with U.S. stocks, you can invest in ADRs on Robinhood commission-free. Learn more about ADRs on our Help Center.

Extended Market Hours, Free for Everyone

You can now invest pre-market and after-hours, for free

Artboard 2 copy 8@3x.png

To stay true to our goal of offering everyone the best financial products, we’re making extended market hours available to everyone on Robinhood, for free. 

Standard U.S. market hours are from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern. With extended market hours, you’ll be able to invest from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern. This means you can start investing 30 minutes before the regular market opens, and continue investing two hours after it closes. 

Here are two scenarios where having access to invest in extended market hours can be beneficial:

Earnings Announcements
Companies may announce quarterly earnings reports before or after regular market hours, resulting in price swings. With extended market hours, you can make investment decisions during these times of volatility.
 
Activity in Foreign Markets
News and activity in foreign markets, such as in the European and Asian markets, can affect U.S. stocks despite occurring outside of regular U.S. market hours. With the market hours extended, you can take action when you need to. 

Before today, investing during extended market hours was one of the features in Robinhood Gold. As a Robinhood Gold customer, you still have access to additional buying power and bigger instant deposits from your bank account. You can make changes to your Robinhood Gold settings in the app or on web.

Bringing extended market hours to everyone drastically improves the core Robinhood experience. We’re always working to make Robinhood even better, so stay tuned for more updates soon!

Introducing Multi-Leg Options Strategies

Unlock More Potential with Advanced Options Strategies

Options_Multi-Leg.png

Last December, we launched a more intuitive, cost-effective way for you to trade options. This was an important step in enabling you to easily manage all of your investments in one place. Since then, we’ve transacted over $2 billion in options premium volume, and we’re becoming one of the biggest options-trading platforms.  

Today, we’re introducing multi-leg options strategies on Robinhood, improving the options trading experience, and giving you more control over your investments. You can now trade multi-leg options strategies in a single order, and monitor these contracts together, commission-free.

Multi-leg options strategies have been one of the most frequently requested features by options investors on Robinhood. With multi-leg, you can trade Level 3 strategies such as iron condors, straddles, strangles, call and put debit spreads, and call and put credit spreads more efficiently, invest at a lower risk, and with less capital requirements. 

You can also monitor and close your options positions on Robinhood Web. In the near future, we’ll be bringing all options features available on the Robinhood App, to Web.

Here’s a quick overview of options trading on Robinhood:

  • Commission-free, always: No commission and no per contract fee upon buying or selling options, as well as no exercise or assignment fees. On other platforms, options traders pay up to $6.95 + $0.75 per contract and up to $19.99 upon exercising and assignment.

  • Discover: This feature guides you through placing options trades. To help facilitate the decision making process, we removed unnecessary jargon, and added educational resources to help you learn how to buy a call or a put, the associated risks, and more. Soon, we’ll also automatically surface the most common options strategies in the market, simplifying the otherwise cumbersome options trading experience.

  • Intuitively designed: We redesigned the options trading experience by replacing traditional, complicated options tables with a more intuitive design, highlighting the most important information.

  • Stay informed: Market data for options investors streams in real-time, keeping you in the loop on the latest.

Investors should consider the investment objectives and unique risk profile of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) carefully before investing. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of other diversified portfolios. Leveraged and Inverse ETFs may not be suitable for all investors and may increase exposure to volatility through the use of leverage, short sales of securities, derivatives and other complex investment strategies.

Although ETFs are designed to provide investment results that generally correspond to the performance of their respective underlying indices, they may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the indices because of expenses and other factors. A prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF and should be read carefully before investing. Customers should obtain prospectuses from issuers and/or their third party agents who distribute and make prospectuses available for review. ETFs are required to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders at year end. These gains may be generated by portfolio rebalancing or the need to meet diversification requirements. ETF trading will also generate tax consequences. Additional regulatory guidance on Exchange Traded Products can be found by clicking here.

Options transactions may involve a high degree of risk. To learn more about the risks associated with options trading, please review the options disclosure document entitled Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, available here or through https://www.theocc.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp.

Investors should be aware that system response, execution price, speed, liquidity, market data, and account access times are affected by many factors, including market volatility, size and type of order, market conditions, system performance, and other factors.

All investments involve risk and the past performance of a security, or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities, or other financial products. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing.

Trading in cryptocurrencies comes with significant risks, including volatile market price swings or flash crashes, market manipulation, and cybersecurity risks. In addition, cryptocurrency markets and exchanges are not regulated with the same controls or customer protections available in equity, option, futures, or foreign exchange investing.  Several federal agencies have also published advisory documents surrounding the risks of virtual currency. For more information see the Robinhood Crypto Risk Disclosure, the CFPB’s Consumer Advisory, the CFTC’s Customer Advisory, the SEC’s Investor Alert, and FINRA’s Investor Alert.
