Is an IG share dealing account any good?

An excellent share-dealing platform for those who want to deal shares regularly in the short and long term.

With IG you can deal in over 13,000+ shares, funds and investment trusts with zero commission on US & UK shares, and just Β£3 on UK shares, with a foreign exchange fee of just 0.5%. You can also deal on a limited amount US shares while the market is closed.

You also get access to a huge range of UK small-cap shares, where you can request quotes from marketmakers via RSPs. This is something that is not available from other trading/investing platforms like CMC or Trading 212.

An IG share dealing account is different from a spread betting or CFD trading account in that you actually own physical shares as opposed to trading derivatives. The ability to deal in shares with IG means that you can invest in companies for the long term alongside your short-term higher-risk speculation.
