How do I get a limited risk account?

You can change from a standard CFD account to a limited risk account at any time. Simply log in to My IG and click on the ‘settings’ tab. Choose ‘account type’ from the list on the left of the page, and follow the instructions to convert to a limited risk account.

A limited risk account ensures that you will not lose more than the initial deposit required to open your trades by requiring you to attach a guaranteed stop to all your positions. Guaranteed stops provide you with protection against slippage, but you may still be exposed to currency risk if you trade in a currency other than your base currency. You will not be able to use other types of stops, like trailing stops.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You do not own or have any interest in the underlying asset. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Please consider the Margin Trading Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), Risk Disclosure Notice and Target Market Determination before entering into any CFD transaction with us.

The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through an IG share trading account can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Please ensure you fully understand the risks and take care to manage your exposure.
