IG Securities, the Japanese subsidiary of the IG Electronic Commercial Group, plans to disable the negotiation of certain ETFs through individual shares.
Effective in mid -October, the appearance of eligible ETFs in individual stock accounts will be discontinued. New orders will not be accepted, but existing positions can be settled by the List tab.
After the change, the negotiation of ETF eligible can be done through variety accounts (VIX etc.) and index accounts.
Effective end of November 2025, the negotiation of eligible ETFs in individual stock accounts will be completely interrupted.
If there are open positions for ETF eligible after the expiry date of the settlement commands, IG will settle them on the basis of the closing price in late November 2025.
The detailed list of ETF eligible and this application timetable will be provided in due course.
IG Japan commented:
“This change aims to improve the investment environment for our customers. We apologize for the inconvenience it can cause and appreciate your understanding.”
