How is my money held and protected?

Your account & security

We take the safety of your money seriously. Here's how your funds are protected:

  • Segregated accounts: All client money is held in dedicated trust accounts at regulated financial institutions, completely separate from our own corporate funds. This ensures your money remains protected and isn't used for our business operations.

  • Regulatory compliance: We adhere to strict MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) client money regulations, with regular audits and reporting to ensure compliance.

  • Asset custody: Your securities are held in custody arrangements that ensure clear ownership records while allowing efficient trading.

  • Financial Stability: IG Markets is backed by IG Group, a global financial services provider with decades of experience and a strong balance sheet.

  • Settlement protection: When trading international markets, your funds only move for settlement after trades are executed, minimizing risk exposure.

This segregation structure means that even in the unlikely event of financial difficulties for the company, your funds remain separate and protected.
