Why open a financial spread betting account with IG Index?
Here's what they say:
"World Leaders in Spread Betting. IG Index is Britain's leading financial spread betting firm, offering prices in a wide range of indices, FX currencies, commodities and options and thousands of individual shares.
"Financial spread betting has grown exponentially in the last decade because it offers investors and traders and a unique combination of flexibility and speed of execution.
"IG Index, the original IG Group company, was founded in 1974. It was the first financial spread betting company in Britain, and today is the leading spreads operation in the world. The group rapidly grew in the '90s with the introduction of Forex dealing, Contracts for Differences (CFDs) and sports spread betting.
"2000 saw IG Group float on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). In 2003 Stuart Whelan (the founder) decided sell his remaining interest in the company and compelled a management buyout led by Nat le Roux, then CEO, and backed by CVC Capital Partners. During the last 3 years IGIndex.com has continued to expand its product range and operations through the introduction of binary betting and established a rapidly growing business in Australia.
"In May 2005, IG Group Holdings plc was floated on the main list of the LSE. Since then it has been promoted to the FTSE 250 and currently has a market capitalisation of over £700 million.
"IG Group companies have tens of thousands of clients worldwide making over 200,000 transactions a month, 85% of them online. As well as IGIndex.com there are offices are in London, Australia (Melbourne) and Singapore."
