Lack of transparency

Hello,

 

I came to know about the minimum amount of £90 for buying US shares AFTER I opened the account. I based my choice on what I read here:

 

https://www.ig.com/uk/investments/share-dealing/costs-fees

 

The above limit IS NOT mentioned in the above page. 

 

How does a customer come to know about that limit BEFORE joining IG?

 

This is not truthful at all, rather I would say it's a DODGY behaviour...

yes  and , lucky for you there are some excellent brokers operating out of Israel and Cyprus should you need them.

No I didn't know about minimum size either but not to worry, nothing lost hey.

 

See http://www.financemagnates.com/forex/bloggers/differentiating-good-bad-brokers/  to see how brokers have to operate to provide a service and stay solvent, personally I wouldn't persevere if I was dissatisfied, good luck.

Hi   Fair point, of coarse you haven't actually lost anything and now you are better informed when you contact other brokers and know what questions to ask. I would be interested to know if you have found how other brokers approach this, IG doesn't do micro lots as do some brokers and given that the US prefer a hefty individual share value I suspect many other brokers don't offer US shares at all. All brokers have a minimum on all instruments which often relates to the volume of through put, less traded instruments (as US shares traded in the UK would be) are going to attract a higher minimum.

 

 

 

I would encourage anyone to look at the 'good broker, bad broker' article, it is very informative.

My topic is clearly entitled: "LACK OF TRANSPARENCY".

 

That minimum amount MUST be stated somewhere for the customer to know all the pros and cons before joining. This is a dodgy behaviour.

 

You keep trying to deviate the post.

    • Thanks, I can see it is there, but I cannot see what FTSE 350 sector it belongs to.  I am looking for the breakdown of all the sectors, ie what stocks belong to each of the following "epic" sectors (that sheet is useful but it doesnt tie back 100%): FTSE 350 Banks FTSE 350 General Retailers FTSE 350 Mining FTSE 350 Oil and Gas Producers FTSE 350 Real Estate Investment Trusts FTSE 350 Aerospace and Defence FTSE 350 Household Goods and Home Construction FTSE 350 Beverages FTSE 350 Chemicals etc
    • CatGPT isn't your average meme coin. Launched in June 2023, this AI-powered token on Solana boasts a working AI chatbot with its own personality (and perhaps a desire for world domination, according to its fans!). But CatGPT's claws reach further than just memes. This feline token has generated significant buzz with its well-structured tokenomics and high trading activity. Over $4 million locked in liquidity and $100 million in trading volume within a short period is no small feat. Plus, an active and enthusiastic community fuels the FOMO fire, with KOLs and the project team keeping the engagement high. CatGPT's listing on Bitget todayis a sign to watch closely – this meme coin with a technological twist might just have nine lives of success ahead.
