IG Review — Overview
IG is a forex & CFD broker based in Australia, operating for 20+ years. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 9.4 out of 10, which we rate as Good — above the industry average of 3.3/10. Solid, well-regulated profile suitable for most traders.
Crucially, IG is regulated by ASIC, FCA, FSA, FMA, MAS and DFSA, including at least one tier-1 regulator. Tier-1 regulation is the strongest sign of legitimacy: it normally requires segregated client funds, regular audits and access to a compensation scheme if the broker fails — meaningful protection for your money.
IG provides access to forex and CFDs. Published conditions include leverage up to 1:400. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, IG looks like a credible option — but always verify the licence yourself and start with a small amount.
