Research emphasis
Specialist platforms

IG’s UK site brings several products under one brand. This profile follows the CFD company and platform documentation, rather than treating every IG service as one interchangeable account.

What the primary source says

IG’s UK page says CFD accounts are provided by IG Markets Ltd, FCA reference 195355. It separately identifies IG Index Ltd for spread betting. Its platform overview includes web, mobile, MT4, TradingView and ProRealTime.

Platform options recorded in this edition:

  • Broker web / mobile
  • MetaTrader 4
  • TradingView
  • ProRealTime

The important comparison

An investment account, spread betting account and CFD account are different products. A platform feature or fee quoted for one should not be carried over to another.

Use the legal agreement and the schedule attached to the intended account. A group-wide feature list cannot confirm eligibility for a resident, product or classification. We have not opened a demo or live account, measured execution or tested withdrawals.

Questions to take to the documents

  1. Which company provides the product in your application?
  2. Are the platform comparison and charges page for CFDs or another service?
  3. Do specialist platform or exchange data conditions add a separate charge?
  4. Does your intended market have different specifications on MT4?

Price and protection have different evidence

This profile does not publish minimum spreads, a leverage offer or a loss percentage. These are changing, scoped figures and would need the relevant instrument, account and observation period. You can model a linear spread-and-commission example in the cost calculator, using values you have independently obtained.

For identity, use the FCA’s official Firm Checker (opens in a new tab) ↗. Match company, permission and contact details rather than relying on the reference number alone. Regulation does not remove trading losses or establish suitability.

Our evidence boundary

The entry is document-based information, not a recommendation or a test verdict. Brokers are listed alphabetically throughout the directory and no payment determines their position. The source check date records this edition’s research; it does not imply continuous monitoring. See how profiles are prepared for the selection and update process.
