IG Markets Awarded CFD Provider of the Year

LONDON, Dec. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- IG Markets, the leading provider of Contracts for Difference, has been awarded the title of CFD provider of the year, as voted for by readers of Shares Magazine. Giving clients the ability to trade on an unparalleled range of financial instruments across a wide range of asset classes, IG Markets offers CFD accounts to more UK investors than any other provider.

Philip Adler, managing director, IG Markets UK, commented:

'We have an exceptionally strong product offering for CFDs and clients can trade with us safe in the knowledge we are part of a FTSE 250-listed company - IG Group. From the range of instruments that can be traded, through to added value options such as Direct Market Access, automated charting solutions like Autochartist and an award-winning trading platform, we do have a best-in-class proposition and this has served to underline that.'

CFDs allow clients to gain economic exposure to a wide range of assets from a single trading account. Furthermore, clients benefit from competitively low margin rates allowing positions to be opened with only a fraction of the full contract size required as a deposit.

With a strong focus on education, IG Markets runs a regular series of face-to-face seminars from its London offices, along with a range of webinars and tutorial videos for download. Parent company IG Group was also recognised as Financial Provider of the year in the 2010 Shares Magazine reader awards.
