FAQs
Who is IG?
We invented spread betting in 1974. Today, we’re the world’s No.1 choice for spread betting and contract for difference (CFD) trading.1 Our offerings enable you to explore countless opportunities through access to 15,000+ financial markets. You can trade or invest on our platform. When trading with us, you’ll take a position on the price movements of financial assets without owning them. When investing with us, on the other hand, you’ll become the owner of any assets that you buy.
Our business model is built around wanting you to trade or invest profitably – we don’t make any money from client losses. We’re a FTSE 250 company that’s regulated in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We take measures to ensure that your money and assets are protected with us, eg keeping them in accounts that are separate from our own and not using them in the course of our business activities.
How can I start trading?
You can start trading with us by following these steps:
- Create a live account and fund it when you’re ready
- Select your opportunity after learning about trading and conducting careful analysis of the market you’re interested in
- Buy if you think the price of that particular market will rise or sell if you think it’ll fall (you can also take a neutral stance with US-listed options via our platform)
- Select your position size
- Take steps to manage your risk
- Open, monitor and close your position
Which platforms can I trade on?
There are several trading platforms available to you. With us, you can use the desktop or mobile version of our platform. You can also trade through specialist third-party platforms with us, eg algorithmic and automated trading platforms like MetaTrader 4 and ProRealTime.

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 71% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
Professional clients trading spread bets and CFDs can lose more than they deposit.
Options and futures are complex instruments which come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. They’re not suitable for most investors. Before you invest, you should consider whether you understand how options and futures work, the risks of trading these instruments and whether you can afford to lose more than your original investment.
Trading stocks and shares ‘on margin’ within a US options and futures account – meaning that you only finance part of the cost of acquiring a position in a security – carries additional risks over buying securities on a fully funded basis and may result in losses exceeding your original investment. Trading on margin will also result in additional costs to you as the investor and any securities purchased using margin may be held as collateral by the lender, restricting both your rights as shareholder, and your ability to use the securities until the margin trade is closed. You should familiarise yourself with these risks before trading on margin.
The value of shares, ETFs and other ETPs bought through a share dealing account, a US options and futures account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP 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. Some ETPs carry additional risks depending on how they’re structured, investors should ensure they familiarise themselves with the differences before investing.
