| IG Share Dealing Expert Review: Updated 02/07/2026 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. 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. An excellent share-dealing platform for those who want to deal in shares regularly in the short and long term.
