When we execute orders on your behalf, European regulatory requirements (MiFID II) oblige us to take all sufficient steps to achieve the best possible result on a consistent basis.
To help you understand how we do this, we publish annual information relating to the top five execution venues that we relied on when you traded with us in a given year. We also publish nine reports at varying intervals that outline the quality of our execution.
You can find all of this information below.
Information relating to our leveraged products, including information about the underlying venues we use to hedge your DMA trades.
When you trade CFDs or spread bet with IG, you are contracting with us and we act as the sole execution venue.
When you use our CFD DMA service, we are still your execution venue. However, we directly replicate your trade in the underlying market.
For details on the execution quality of our spread bets and CFDs from 2018 onwards, please refer to our best execution reports below.
Information about the top five venues where we execute equity trades for our execution-only share dealing clients.
Information relating to each type of IG service where you can trade ETFs – via an execution-only share dealing account, and on a discretionary managed basis via an IG Smart Portfolio.
Information about how we assess the quality of execution that we provide you.
These machine-readable reports outline the quality of our execution for OTC derivative products, as required by the RTS 27 standard under MiFID II. Please note that some of these files may be over 50mb in size.
