IG Index, the leading spread betting firm, has been judged to be the most popular financial spread betting platform for forex by the respondents of the annual Investment Trends survey.
The Investment Trends Financial Spread Betting and CFD report canvassed almost 14,000 individuals in the UK and provides a comprehensive insight into the behaviour of those trading retail derivatives products. Note that in 2010 IG Index was also voted the best spread betting service at MoneyAM Online Finance Awards.
Geopolitical factors are frequently a key driver in forex markets, so recent events ranging from Eurozone sovereign debt crises to natural disasters in Japan and unrest in the Middle East all play a part in driving volatility in the forex market.
IG Index - Number One for Forex Spread Betting
Managing Director of IG Index, Tim Hughes, commented, "There's rarely a quiet day in forex and the big swings that can be seen on an hourly basis have always made it a popular option for short-term traders
"We appreciate that traditional margined forex products can prove somewhat daunting for retail investors whereas the pricing transparency of placing a spread bet, where you win or lose for every point the forex pair moves, is far easier to understand.
“Working in pounds per point means that the outcome itself can't be impacted by exchange rate risk. And, of course, as with all spread bets, profits are tax free*. IG Index account holders also have the flexibility to trade multiple asset classes all from a single account."
The IG Index forex spread betting service offers a wide range of additional benefits, including high-quality customer service, a robust trading platform and consistently tight spreads.
IG Index’s London based research team produce twice-daily forex reports on the company’s dedicated Forex hub.
Risk Warning: Spread betting carries a high level of risk to your capital. You may lose more than your initial investment. It may not be suitable for all investors. Only speculate with money that you can afford to lose. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice where necessary.
