FAQs
What is share dealing?
Share dealing is the buying and selling of a company’s shares, usually with the intention of making a profit or earning income from dividends.
You can pick from over 13,000 different companies, investment trusts and exchange traded funds. When you’ve bought your shares, you can hold these for as long as you like, and when the time comes to sell, you can do so with confidence and ease.
How does share dealing work?
First, you’ll need to create a share dealing account, which should take less than five minutes to do. When your account is up and running, log in to discover your next investment.
When you’ve found the shares that you want to buy, you can purchase these in two different ways. The most common way is to get a quote for the price of the shares you’re buying. Alternatively, you can buy the shares directly from another party on an exchange.
When you’ve bought your shares, log in to monitor your investments, collect dividends and reinvest these all in one place. And when the time comes to sell, do so at a click of a button.
How long does it take to withdraw funds once I’ve sold shares?
When you’ve sold your shares, your cash will be available to reinvest immediately.
If you want to withdraw the cash back to your bank account, the cash will be available once the shares have ‘settled’. For example, if you sell the shares on a Monday, these should settle on the Wednesday, when you’ll be able to withdraw your cash. This is known as a T+2 settlement period, where ‘T’ is the transaction date and ‘2’ is the number of business days after the transaction date.
Can I access live share prices?
Yes. To access live share prices, simply log in to My IG, go to ‘settings’ and pick from the list of data feeds.
Do you offer flexible ISAs?
Yes, we’ve offered flexible ISAs via our online platform since April 2016. Open an account to get started, or find out more on our Help and Support site.
What can I invest in with an IG stocks and shares ISA?
You can invest in over 13,000 global shares and ETFs with our stocks and shares ISA. Our share dealing ISA gives you full control over your investments, while our Smart Portfolio ISAs are fully managed by our in-house experts using asset allocation insights from BlackRock.
