Hi all,
I am a reasonably experienced investor (5 years) but have only recently started spread betting. I've just opened an IG account for spread betting and share dealing, due to low US stock commission, and my question is, are the balances treated separately for the purpose of the negative balance protection?
I am comfortable with the risk of losing whatever I put into the spread betting account, but I am concerned that if I got things completely wrong, and my losses exceeded my account balance, that IG could transfer money from my share dealing account to cover trading losses?
I've scoured the website but can't seem to find anything that confirms or denies this.
Dai
