Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 69% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

IG has shown it's true colours and is restricting BUYING of AMC and GME
in Shares and ETFs
Posted
This is such a disgraceful move.
"In order to prioritise the service we give our existing clients, IG is not currently allowing any new positions to be opened on the US stocks GameStop and AMC Entertainment. Clients are still able to close existing positions in these stocks."
I AM an existing client and this is the exact opposite of prioritising service....
Do you really expect your customers to believe this?
This is clearly not the reason at all. IGG traded below 500 in the last session despite being over 900 a week ago, so there is much more going on here. What is IG's stake in this whole situation? Some transparency would be nice but we know that's not going to happen.
Whilst it is not unreasonable to increase required margins to 100% to cater for increased volatility; to prevent purchasing of GME and AMC is only being done for one reason which is to reduce demand.
Not happy.
