Any VIX ETFs available in Share Dealing account?

[NickW-uk]

I know IG offers VIX products within a CFD account, and they are listed in my share account, but the last attempt to purchase VIXY within the share account failed, said it was not available. Very frustrating that products display within an account only to be told they are not available at the point of purchase! I can't remember if the 3x was available, certainly the 1x was not.

Hi @NickW-uk

Thank you for the feedback

Please note that VIXY is fine to purchase on the share dealing account. It is not ISA eligible however so you would not be able to buy it through your ISA. We usually publish trade restrictions on the market info section of the platform. The info section can be found on the top right hand corner of the platform as illustrated below:

All the best

Yes ProShares VIX ETF is tradable but only for 4 hours London time! The iPath 500 VIX ETN for US time is only available for closing trades 🙄
