"Financial spread betting has grown rapidly over the last decade because it offers investors and traders 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 1990s with the introduction of forex dealing, Contracts for Differences (CFDs) and sports spread betting. In 1998 IG Index became the first company to offer online financial 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.
"In May 2005, IG Group Holdings plc was floated on the main list of the LSE. Today they are a FTSE 250 company with over 120,000 clients worldwide."
