IG Group is a UK FTSE 250 member with over 100,000 active clients worldwide. In 2002, the Group launched into Australia with two unique brands – IG Markets and IG Index.
IG Markets specialises in financial derivatives trading, principally Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on shares and indices, as well as being a leading dealer in Foreign Exchange. Whereas, IG Index principally focused on spread betting.
Due to the overwhelming success of our CFD Trading business, in 2009 IG Markets became the sole brand focus.
