IG use the 'Custodian' model which allows trading on digital exchanges. This means you don't actually hold the shares and so don't have voting rights at AGMs etc. They are all held by a third party (Citi Bank), couldn't say what they do but you are guaranteed that the shares are yours and you can sell on demand if the exchange allows.

Hi Casey,

 

Thank you for reply.. I wanted to make sure my shares are not being loaned out ... is there anyway to signal my preference for shares not to be leant out to anyone else?

 

I guess not according to your response above .... I may need to move from IG to one that will honour my wishes ..

Thanks

I don't think you need worry, never heard of any problems having followed IG in the news for over 10 years and on the forum here since it started late 2015.

You are correct though that some institutions do lend shares to short sellers. Can't see that it's a problem for IG as they don't actually hold the shares (see first reply) and for a long time now they don't allow you to sell stocks you don't already own.

You can short CFD contracts but they're not actual shares and even so you will often see a note to say certain share cfd contracts are 'unborrowable' (to enter short).

I'll try a deep search to see if I can find anything on the website.

    • Stocks in Asia went through another mixed session, with losses led by the Nikkei and Hang Seng, though the ASX 200 ended the day only slightly lower. Stocks continue to fall as yields rise, while Evergrande worries returned as shares of the developer were halted following reports its chairman had been taken away by police earlier in the month. The US Senate is expected to vote this afternoon (UK time) on a bill to avoid the government shutdown, but with markets still expecting higher rates for longer (and positive economic news only adding to this view) it seems that a resolution of the government shutdown will be a minor event. Weekly US jobless claims and pending home sales this afternoon are followed by a speech from Jerome Powell this evening.
