Why choose IG Markets?

1. Access to global markets

One of the biggest features of the IG Markets app is their broad access to global markets. Where other brokerages would limit you to trading within one or two regions, IG Markets brings you a wide range of investment opportunities across several key international markets. 

These include the Singapore Exchange (SGX) for local stocks and ETFs, major US exchanges like NYSE and NASDAQ—which feature fractional share trading—as well as the Hong Kong (HKSE) and UK (LSE) stock exchanges. The platform enables trading in individual company stocks and diversified exchange-traded funds (ETFs) across all these supported markets. A noted feature for US markets is the availability of fractional shares, allowing investors to start with amounts as low as S$1.

2. Zero commissions, zero platform fees

IG Markets employs a zero-commission pricing model, with the claimed goal of maximizing investor returns. The platform charges no commission on stock and ETF trades across all supported markets, and does not impose platform fees and other common fees seen on other brokerages like account maintenance fees, inactivity fees, custody fees, and others.

That's not to say IG Markets is completely zero-cost. The platform does charge FX spreads to the user for trades in international markets, and any mandatory third-party exchange fees are also applied without markup. This approach is designed to create a transparent and low-cost environment, intending to allow a greater portion of an investor's capital to remain invested.
