Share Trading (ProRealTime) |
IG is one of the biggest names in the share trading market. Depending on which is greater, you’ll pay as little as $5 or 0.05% of each trade in brokerage costs if you've traded three times or more in the previous month, which is quite low compared to other share trading platforms. Along with the transparent pricing (which increases to $8 or 0.1% if you don't trade that frequently), traders will appreciate the easy to use platform, numerous independent broker reports and market data resources. Plus, you can enjoy other benefits, including no commission on international shares.
When you trade with IG, you’re trading with one of the biggest names in the industry and one of the most popular share trading brokers in Australia, providing access to more than 13,000 shares and ETFs from markets all over the world.
While there’s usually an extra layer of complexity when trading overseas shares in Australian dollars, IG gets around the usual currency conversion problems and associated fees by denominating all indices in AUD.
Brokerage costs have been kept low - you'll pay commission fees of $8 or 0.01% for Australian listed shares and frequent traders who have traded three or more times in the previous month will receive a fee discount (a $5 or 0.05% commission on all domestic shares). Buying and selling US and UK shares comes with no commission. You'll also be glad to know that buying and selling US and UK shares comes with no commission too.
Plus, IG’s customer support service is available around the clock to handle any problems or inquiries you might have. And the website features a number of resources to help you get your head around trading if you’re a beginner and some pretty comprehensive market analysis tools that the more seasoned trader will appreciate.
As for signing up, you’ll be asked to fill out a registration form (which should take little more than five minutes), and provide basic identification details and proof of residence (e.g. a bank statement or utility bill).
Please Note: This review covers the share trading platform on IG, and does not refer to CFD or other derivative trading.
IG would suit beginner and experienced traders alike, but you’ll get the most value out of it the more you trade, given that brokerage costs are lower for regular traders. And if you’re looking to trade both Australian and overseas stock, IG is one of the more popular options available.
If you’re making a trade over the phone, you should know that brokerage costs can run quite high — $50 per trade to be precise.
