What is IG's regulatory licence status and supervisory authorisation?

Which of IG's jurisdictions and licences fall within this site's regulatory coverage?
IG is registered at Cannon Bridge House 25 Dowgate Hill London EC4R 2YA and tracked under our institutions licensed in the united states and canada scope based on its institutional service profile (Cryptocurrencies, CFDs, Indices, Forex, Stocks, Options) rather than a domestic focus licence. Its 4 recorded licences (FCA, MAS, FSCA, ASIC) should be evaluated for cross-border passporting and local solicitation rules.
What is IG's institutional risk classification, enforcement exposure, and score profile?
IG carries a "risk level not supplied" classification in the source dataset (composite numeric scores are not supplied for this record). The record flags 0 regulatory warning or complaint counts. Because these figures reflect imported source fields rather than primary audit findings, compliance teams should review primary enforcement bulletins directly.
What operational due diligence steps apply to IG's platforms, entity structure, and complaints?
Before allocating capital or executing trades with IG (listed execution software: IG Trading: CFDs & stocks), institutional and retail allocators should: (1) confirm the domain (not supplied in source) against regulator-approved domains to guard against clone firms; (2) verify whether any of the 0 recorded warning/complaint entries or 0 user comments involve withdrawal restrictions or scope violations; and (3) confirm the dispute-resolution ombudsman tied to FCA.

Federal Reserve Standing Repo Facility (SRF) Clearing Mechanics, TGA Rebuild Elasticity & SOFR-IORB Spread Dynamics (Q4 2026)
The Federal Reserve Standing Repo Facility (SRF) refers to the permanent overnight liquidity backstop administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that caps secured U.S. dollar funding rates by lending cash against U.S. Treasury and Agency securities at the top of the FOMC target range [4.50%, Federal Reserve H.15 Release, October 2026]. As the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA) rebuilds toward its $850 billion cash target [$850 billion, U.S. Treasury Quarterly Refunding Estimate, Q4 2026] and Overnight Reverse Repo (ON RRP) balances approach structural exhaustion at $142 billion [$142 billion, NY Fed Markets Desk Data, October 2026], commercial bank reserves bear 72% of incremental fiscal liquidity drain, driving episodic SOFR-IORB spread inversions on Treasury auction settlement dates.
