How do corporate actions work?

Trading tools

Corporate actions for securities in your IG Markets account are managed automatically:

Mandatory Corporate Actions:

  • Stock splits/consolidations: Automatically processed

  • Mergers and acquisitions: Processed according to terms

  • Spin-offs: New securities are added to your account

  • Cash dividends: Automatically credited to your account

Voluntary Corporate Actions:

  • Rights issues: You'll be notified to make your choice

  • Tender offers: You'll receive notifications to participate or decline

  • Dividend reinvestment plans: Currently not supported

All corporate action notifications are sent via email and in-app alerts. Your holdings will be automatically updated once the corporate action is complete.
