As a client with IG Index you can be assured that your funds are completely safe.
When you open an account with us we will hold your money on a segregated basis, in accordance with the Financial Service Authority's client money rules. Under these rules, we pay the full balance of our clients' money into client bank accounts.
By full balance we mean the figure shown on your account statement as 'total surplus', which includes any unrealised profits. It also includes the deposit you are required to have in your account in order to support your open positions. The money is treated as belonging to our clients and cannot be used by us, so the security of our clients' money is absolutely unaffected by whatever happens to us.
