Hi 5tintin.
Sorry I have just found your post.
I have had a similar experience. IG tried to force me to sell, I refused. However they have now turned down the request to transfer the Asset to my new broker AJ Bell. ( AJ Bell have been superb throughout this process) IG do not trade on HKex, so I'm in limbo at the moment. IG have not been helpful at all, more obstructive.
I have requested the Paper Share Certificates, which will be sent to IG Trading, to be transferred to myself or AJ Bell. I have also contacted Cairn Financial Advisors LLP who are handling the CNEL share transfers, for further information and assistance.
From there i will be making a complaint to the Financial Conduct Authority.
My email is scorertony@yahoo.co.uk if you wish to discuss this situation further.
Best Rgds. Bossman20
