IG GROUP HOLDINGS PLC
Pre Close Trading Update

IG Group, a global leader in online trading, today issues the following Trading Update for the fourth quarter of the financial year ending 31 May 2015, ahead of entering its close period on 1 June 2015.

As the company approaches the end of a solid fourth quarter, it remains on track to deliver against full year financial expectations.  Importantly, IG also made good strategic progress over the period, extending its stockbroking offering into the Netherlands and receiving approval in-principle of its regulatory licence in Dubai towards the end of May, which should enable full authorisation and the opening of its office there in the coming weeks.

There is no conference call scheduled for today, but the Investor Relations team will be available to answer questions.

The financial results for the year ending 31 May 2015 will be announced on Tuesday 21 July 2015.  There will be a presentation for institutional investors and analysts at 9.30am (UK time) at the Group's offices at Cannon Bridge House, Dowgate Hill, London EC4R 2YA; those wishing to attend the presentation should contact Laura Ewart at [e-mail] or on 020 3727 1160.
