"The page is wrong.... IB does not offer Irish ETFs according to the link provided: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=products&amp;p=etf&amp;ns=T"

Any thoughts?

 * The IB page link is by exchange, not by fund. You can find Irish ETFs in several European exchanges. Look for the "Irl" country abbreviation in the fund title. For example, Exchange - Borsa Italiana lists 24 funds such as the "UBS Irl ETF plc - DJ Global Select Dividend UCITS ETF". The Country/Region is listed as Ireland. --LadyGeek 00:36, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Improving the Product availability and international investing table
As someone with very limited understanding of Interactive Brokers, other than they are often recommended for 'globe trotting' investors, I find the table in the very daunting. Some of the column headings, particularly the acronyms, are NOT previously mentioned in the article so there is no context for them.

An example is CFDs. What are they? Search doesn't find them in the wiki, nor are they listed in Abbreviations and Acronyms. The Indices column could also be confusing. Product Listings | Interactive Brokers Canada Inc. says "We provide real-time market data on a number of indices. These indices are not tradable and are for informational purposes only.", so are they really a product?

Perhaps the table could be split into two? Core product offerings (generally part of the Bogleheads philosophy) such as Stocks, Exchange-traded funds, Mutual funds and Bonds and a secondary table for 'Other products', which generally more specialized offerings. Looking at the existing table that might be a bit problematic because it seems that some countries, i.e. Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland and South Korea apparently don't offer some of the 'core products' above. --Peculiar Investor 09:52, 7 March 2021 (EST)
 * Google helped me with CFD, Contract for Differences (CFD) Definition. I searched the forum for topics containing CFD in their subject and there were none. At a minimum I think the table needs a legend of acronyms and better still where appropriate they should link to other wiki articles. --Peculiar Investor 10:24, 7 March 2021 (EST)
