New to Shares?

Trading share CFDs is a great way to make profit on individual equities in either rising or falling markets. You trade at market levels, putting down margin to open a position and paying a small commission on each trade.

IG Markets lets you trade more than 7000 leading UK, US, European and world shares with low commissions and margin requirements from just 5%.

Trading share CFDs with IG Markets

CFDs are fast replacing traditional share dealing as the vehicle of choice for flexible, cost-efficient trading. With IG Markets you can stay close to the market with transparent pricing on all the shares we cover, plus a choice of sophisticated online trading platforms.

Unlike dealing through a stockbroker, with share CFD trading you can potentially profit if a share price falls, as well as if it rises.

Leverage

As CFDs are margin traded, your deposit enables you to take a larger position than you would if you were purchasing ordinary shares, offering you the opportunity for greater profits or losses.

And our Tiered Margining system means we offer you low margins on over 4650 shares.

Major UK shares and key constituents of US and European indices by market capitalisation are margined from just 5% on a Trader account.

Low costs with no hidden charges

Our commission for all UK share CFDs is just 0.10%, with a minimum charge of £10 for online dealing and £15 when you place a trade through our phone dealing desk.

We do not levy administration charges such as margin call fees, tax statement fees, duplicate statement fees, audit fees for disputes or platform fees.
