Abstract:IG says it has given Goldman Sachs International non-discretionary instructions to carry out the second tranche of the share buyback program of up to £75 million for IG (based on certain pre-set parameters) and to make trading decisions about the program without consulting IG.

The biggest online trading company in the world, IG Group Holdings plc, said today that the second phase of its share buyback program has begun.
After announcing its Capital Allocation Framework and a share buyback program of up to £150 million in July 2022, IG says it has given Goldman Sachs International non-discretionary instructions for Goldman Sachs to carry out the second tranche of the share buyback program of up to £75 million for IG (based on certain pre-set parameters) and to make trading decisions about the program without consulting IG.
The program's sole purpose, according to IG, is to reduce share capital.
The Second Tranche will begin on May 25, 2022, and will end on or before May 31, 2023, with a maximum aggregate market value of £75 million. This is the second and final tranche of the up to £150 million share buyback program announced on July 21, 2022.
The first tranche began on July 21st, 2022, and ended on October 12th, 2022.
The Second Tranche will happen within the limits of the power given to the IG Board of Directors at its annual general meeting on September 21, 2022, which says that 43,015,803 shares are the most that can be bought.
About IG Group
The company was founded in 1974 as IG Index, but it has since changed its name and is now owned and operated by IG Markets Ltd. Most people know the UK-based online brokerage for its CFD trading and financial spread betting services, but in 2014, it also started offering stockbroking.

IG was listed on the London Stock Exchange as IG Group plc in 2000. It is now a component of the FTSE 250 Index. According to a recent IG Group annual report, the company's net worth is estimated to be around £2.9 billion.

Have you experienced issues with Pepperstone deposit & withdrawal processing? From your experience, do you feel that the Australia-based forex broker causes losses to its clients? Did the brokerage entity freeze your account and give you a margin call? All these trading allegations have been rampant on broker review platforms such as WikiFX. This Pepperstone review article takes a close look at the user complaints, especially in 2026. Additionally, we have given an overview of the regulatory framework under which the brokerage entity operates.

Some broker comparisons end with a confident "go with this one." This is not one of them — and that honesty is exactly what makes it worth reading. Wundersys and tradgrip are two young, offshore-registered brokers that keep popping up in front of beginner traders, often through aggressive online marketing. Both promise the usual buffet: tight spreads, generous leverage, multiple account tiers. And both, according to WikiFX, sit near the very bottom of the safety scale. So instead of crowning a champion, this comparison is really about something more useful: learning to read the warning signs, understanding the small differences that still matter, and knowing why "the better of two risky options" is still a conversation about risk.

If you trade forex from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, or Nepal, you already know the quiet truth that eats into every trader's results: it is not just the market that decides whether you profit — it is the cost of getting in and out of each trade. Shave a couple of dollars off your commission on every lot, multiply it across hundreds of trades a year, and you are looking at the difference between a strategy that works and one that bleeds out slowly. South Asian traders are some of the most cost-conscious in the world, and rightly so. So we pulled the data on the brokers most often recommended for the region, cross-checked every name on WikiFX, and ranked them by the one number that matters most here: what they actually charge you to trade. Before the list, one quick lesson that will make this whole ranking click.
