IG Index has just been nominated as Spread-Betting Provider of the Year in the Financial Times and Investors Chronicle Investment Awards. Readers of both FT and Investors Chronicles expressed their confidence in IG Index, the UK’s largest spread betting provider. The company has already been awarded similar prizes this year by Money AM and What Investment magazines. Parent company IG Group was also recognised as 2010 Financial Provider of the Year by Shares Magazine Reader Awards.

“It goes without saying that we are delighted to have received this latest award and it certainly serves to emphasise our commitment to innovation and managing client relationships in an industry that can be seen as becoming increasingly homogenised. Whilst a commitment to tight spreads remains key to impressing clients, we are well aware that introductions such as our new iPhone dealing application, along with the robust nature of our traditional web-based trading platform, continue to contribute to our ongoing success” said Tim Hughes, Managing Director at IG Index.

IG Index is committed to build customer confidence, to introduce innovative products, and to offer competitive spreads. The company has been offering mobile trading products to their clients since 2004, supporting PDA’s, Android-powered phones and, more recently, the iPhone. IG Index has also a strong focus on investment education running several webinars and face-to-face seminars from its London offices, and has been on the road across the UK presenting a series of regional seminars during 2010, that will extend into next years.
