IG Group has proposed establishing a new Jersey-incorporated holding company as part of a broader strategic review, while reporting stronger trading for the first half of 2026.
The broker said the new holding company, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, would provide greater financial and strategic flexibility while reflecting the group’s increasingly international business. Around two-thirds of IG’s revenue is now generated outside the UK.
The proposed restructuring would not affect the company’s London Stock Exchange listing, UK tax residence or London operations. Existing shareholders would exchange their shares for stock in the new holding company on a one-for-one basis through a court-approved scheme of arrangement, which is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Alongside the proposal, IG announced plans to simplify its operating model by combining its UK & Ireland, Europe, and APAC & Middle East divisions into a single consumer business. The changes will take effect during the second half of the year.
For the six months ended June 30, the group expects total revenue of approximately £643 million, up 18% from a year earlier, with organic revenue increasing 16% to about £624 million. The company also reported growth in first trades and active customers and said it expects full-year results to meet market expectations.
IG is continuing its strategic review, which also includes evaluating acquisitions, potential changes to its listing venues and possible transactions involving parts of the business. The company is expected to provide a broader strategy update later this year.
