IG Markets welcomes ASIC's move to improve disclosure for retail derivative investors.
ASIC has released a statement saying they are looking to strengthen protections for retail investors trading derivative products such as contracts-for-difference (CFDs). Their intention is to raise awareness, among both retail investors and the issuers of over-the-counter derivative products, about the proper use of money paid by investors for trading on their behalf.
