IG Markets is pleased to announce that we’ve again been awarded ‘recommended’ titles for both CFDs and Forex in the AFR Smart Investor’s Blue Ribbon Awards. And nominated by traders, we’ve also won the Falcon Award in the 2010 FX Traders’ Choice Awards for High Broker Satisfaction in Oceania.
Smart Investor – Blue Ribbon Awards
AFR Smart Investor magazine’s Blue Ribbon Awards recognise top performers in the banking, investment and insurance sectors. For the third year in a row, IG Markets has been named a recommended provider for both CFD and Forex trading.
The magazine highlighted that managing risk is key to trading CFDs. IG Markets offers a range of risk management tools, such as guaranteed stop-losses as well as educational and market research resources to help support your CFD trading experience.
AFR Smart Investor stressed that when awarding its recommended providers, financial strength was also an important criteria. IG Markets is part of IG Group Holdings plc, a fully-listed FTSE® 250 company. You get the security, resources, global coverage and service of a publicly owned multinational organisation, with more than 120,000 clients and 900 staff worldwide.
Contracts for Difference (CFDs)
IG Markets was selected as a recommended provider in the CFD category based on a range of features, including tradable markets, research and market data services, educational resources, risk management tools and communication channels. We also featured due to our platform’s extensive functionality and ease of use.
Forex
In the Forex category, judges based their recommendations on strong customer service, range of product offerings, risk management options, varied contract sizes and the number of currency pairs offered. An online platform, mobile trading and access to a demo account were also key factors. As currency prices tend to fluctuate on momentum, our technical analysis and charting tools were looked upon favourably as well.
2010 FX Traders’ Choice Awards
IG Markets has also been named as one of the 10 retail FX providers honoured from a pool of almost 90 in the 2010 FX Traders’ Choice Awards. Nominated by more than a thousand traders over 111 countries, we won the prominent Falcon Award for High Broker Satisfaction in Oceania.
The awards are run by International Business Times, a leading global financial online newspaper published in 14 countries and Forex Datasource, a leader in retail FX market research and FX broker sentiment analysis. We are pleased to receive the Falcon Award for the Oceania region, in a major category determined by brokers with the highest client satisfaction.
