Romanian investors can buy InterCapital BET-TRN ETF via Interactive Brokers

InterCapital Asset Management, Croatia’s leading independent asset manager with 650 million euros in assets under management, is expanding access to its InterCapital BET-TRN UCITS ETF (ICBET), which is now available for Romanian investors to trade via Interactive Brokers, one of the world’s leading trading platforms. ICBET is the first ETF listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) that tracks Romania’s flagship index with dividend reinvestment.

This development comes following the addition of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange to the Interactive Brokers platform, which allows users worldwide to access ETFs listed there — including ICBET, which is also dual-listed on BVB. As a result, Romanian investors now have an additional, seamless way to buy their locl ETF directly through one of the most popular online trading apps globally.

“This launch marks a new milestone in our mission to bring Southeast Europe closer to global investors. Making our ETFs available through Interactive Brokers represents the result of months of effort and a deep conviction that the region we operate in, which includes Croatia, Romania, and Slovenia, deserves broader visibility and investment flows. These are markets with resilient fundamentals, attractive valuations, and strong dividend profiles, yet they remain underrepresented in global portfolios. We are proud to help bridge that gap. More importantly, we believe this development will directly support local capital markets, especially in Romania, where ETF investments translate into increased capital inflows for companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange,” stated Ivan Kurtović, CEO of InterCapital Asset Management.

The InterCapital BET-TRN UCITS ETF (ICBET) tracks the BET-TRN index, which reflects both the price performance and net dividends of Romania’s most important listed companies. It offers a simple, transparent way for investors to gain exposure to the Romanian equity market — and is available both through any Romanian authorized broker and globally through Interactive Brokers. Investors should note that trades executed via Interactive Brokers are settled in euros (EUR), while those conducted directly on the Bucharest Stock Exchange are settled in Romanian leu (RON). This distinction may be important for investors managing currency exposure or aligning with the denomination of their existing portfolios.

Alongside ICBET, Interactive Brokers users can also now trade three other InterCapital ETFs, offering exposure to regional equity and money markets. The InterCapital SBITOP TR UCITS ETF (ICSLO) follows Slovenia’s main equity benchmark, the SBITOP Total Return index, which includes the nine most traded blue-chip companies on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and reinvests gross dividends. The ETF is also available directly on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. The InterCapital CROBEX10 TR UCITS ETF (ICCRO) replicates the CROBEX10 Total Return index, comprising the ten most liquid Croatian companies listed on the Zagreb Stock Exchange, offering broad exposure to Croatia’s equity market with dividend reinvestment. The InterCapital Euro Money Market UCITS ETF (ICASH) tracks the 1M €STR (Euro-short term rate) index and offers investors a highly liquid and conservative investment option in the euro money market, designed for capital preservation and short-term yield.

InterCapital Asset Management is also preparing to launch a new Romanian bond ETF, which will be listed on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and will therefore become instantly available through Interactive Brokers following its debut. The ETF will subsequently be listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange as well, ensuring accessibility for both local and international investors.

This step is part of InterCapital’s broader ambition to democratize access to Southeast Europe’s capital markets, offering innovative, cost-effective, and transparent investment tools for a new generation of investors.
