The investment service
Sits very uncomfortably on their main spread-betting site and this feels a bit like an arranged marriage which is awkward to watch.
Boring Money Review of IG Pension
Holly Mackay's View
For those who want someone else to do the heavy lifting, IG is actually not a bad option. Charges are a bit lower than many peers. Just don’t get sucked into their silly spread betting if you’re a novice. It is very blokey in feel but don’t worry about that – go and have a try of the tools to get into a ready-made portfolio. Not an obvious pensions destination. OK in the saving up phase.

Is IG Pension right for you?
Mobile & Apps
There isn’t a dedicated app for their Investment proposition, with the app focused on their spread betting & CFD trading. If you hold one of their ready-made portfolios there is not much use for the app beyond simply viewing the value of your portfolio. Regular traders will find the app very useful as there is a high level of information and analysis.
Facts, Fees & Behind the Scenes at IG
IG is principally a share dealing platform, though there are also ready-made investment ‘Smart Portfolios’ available for those that want to have their investments managed for them.
Once through the questionnaire, there are some good projections and helpful detail about these portfolios. There are parts which are good to use and in fairness it all works fairly simply and clearly. The Dashboard is visually clear but there is a lack of effective signposting and a lot of jargon!
