Salary benchmarks
Our take
Founded in 1974 by Stuart Wheeler as a UK-based spread betting company for gold, IG Group abbreviated from Investors Gold Index, spent the first quarter century focused on trading physical assets. It was only in the year 2000 that it was finally listed on the London Stock Exchange and its gradual evolution into the world of fintech began.
By 2011 after various gambling industry-related controversies, the company had played a part in numerous international buyouts before finally narrowing its focus down to financial wagers. During the latter half of that decade, IG shut down its binary options trading platform and focused instead on building an investment portfolio with partner BlackRock Investments, all whilst maintaining its Forex and CFD trading processes.
In recent years, IG Group has developed major platforms for various trading actions and has grown profit and revenue significantly despite various investment setbacks, proving it to be a staple of the financial trading world.
