Reviewed in this list are stock and ETF brokers that welcome investors residing in Barbados. The Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Barbados regulates domestic investment firms, overseeing licensing and conduct standards, but the local broker market is small, so most Barbadian investors use international brokers.

Capital gains on securities are generally not taxed for individuals in Barbados, which may benefit long-term investors.
