Trading Italian instruments not possible?

[appress]

Hi, on my account I can't trade Italian instruments, is this normal? The only exception is the FTSE MIB 40 index. 

As IG has a presence in Italy I find this surprising. What gives?

Hi, IG limits on types of exchanges as well as market caps of companies they list but you can always ask here on the forum or via the helpdesk by name of company for consideration to be included on the platform.

Hi Casey, i notice that IG has a presence in Italy, IG Italia. 

So I don't really understand why I can't see/trade Italian stocks especially when a) you used to be able to trade Italian stocks on IG and b) ìyou can trade French and German, belgian, dutch, irish, swedish instruments. I can even trade Spanish and Portuguese stocks. 

So why not Italy? Piaggio, Ferrari, Giorgio Armani, Fiat, Generali..hardly small potatoes 

 

cheers

Hi, I don't know about the Italian exchange but there are some exchanges that IG can't trade on because of the way they operate digitally. Also will depend on if share dealing or cfd trading and many large companies are listed on multiple exchanges so trading may take place there. And some companies are not listed simply because of a lack of IG client interest.

Best bet is to email a request to the helpdesk or tag IG here on the forum eg @CharlotteIG and ask if particular companies could be included on which ever platform you were looking to trade them on.

hi @CharlotteIG any chance of adding Diasorin to the list of valid trading instruments? 

 

Thanks
