Our collaboration platform ------ IG
What does IG do with my money?
Unlike banks, investment firms like IG are required to separate client money and assets from their own resources. This means that IG are not allowed to use them in the course of our business activities, and that client money is completely ring-fenced and protected in the unlikely event that IG became insolvent.
IG is authorised to conduct investment business by the FCA. The FCA requires the firms they supervise to hold client funds in accounts separate to their own.
The only clients whose money is not treated like this are clients IG have classified as sophisticated persons who have signed a legal document explaining how their money and assets are held differently (this is known as 'title transfer').
What happens to the money I deposit with IG?
Your money is held in segregated bank accounts under trustee arrangements. This ensures that the cash remains yours, rather than IG’s. It also means that it’s easily identifiable as client money, so IG and its creditors don’t have any charge, liens, or rights of set-off or retention over it.
IG have a number of segregated bank accounts at a range of credit-worthy high street banks such as HSBC. IG intentionally ensure that client money is split between a number of banks, and IG are not permitted to hold it all in one place.
IG may place funds in notice or term deposit accounts with a notice period or term of up to 95 days. Placing client money in notice or term deposit accounts does not in itself affect your ability to deal with or withdraw funds from your account with us, however, in the unlikely event of insolvency of IG, such amounts may not be immediately available upon request.
