Introducing our partner
We aim to provide you with the best information, the best service and the best prices. We therefore introduce you to HL Markets which is provided by IG Index for Spread Betting and IG Markets for CFD trading. Read more about our partner.
Please remember Spread Betting and CFD trading typically require the deposit of a small percentage of the total trade value upfront, and therefore profits and losses can quickly exceed the initial deposit, requiring you to make further payments. Ensure you understand the risks, and do not risk more than you can afford to lose. These products are not suitable for everyone; if you are in doubt please seek independent advice. Please note that once your account is open we may from time to time ask you to provide evidence of funds to support your trading activity.
