Pre Close Trading Update

IG Group ("IG", "the Company"), a global leader in online trading, today issues the following Trading Update for the second quarter of the financial year ending 31 May 2016, ahead of entering its close period on 1 December 2015.

IG has performed well in quieter markets over the last three months and revenue in the second quarter of the financial year will be slightly ahead of the first.  Although it is too early to predict how the full year will outturn, the Company remains on track as it approaches the second half, and it is pleased with the ongoing strength in client recruitment in all of its markets and the progress it is making on delivering its strategic initiatives.

There is no conference call scheduled for today, but the Investor Relations team will be available to answer questions.

The financial results for the six months ended 30 November 2015 will be announced on Tuesday 19 January 2016.  There will be a presentation for institutional investors and analysts at 9.30am (UK time) at the Group's offices at Cannon Bridge House, Dowgate Hill, London EC4R 2YA; those wishing to attend the presentation should contact Laura Ewart at laura.ewart@fticonsulting.com or on 020 3727 1160.
