QUOTES
“ IG’s web traffic, the YouTube views have increased substantially over this past year, despite markets being rather depressed in terms of equity markets in general. The retail clients want to understand what's going on. This is a global trend that we see across our clients everywhere.”

“Defined contribution is a wave that is going to sweep the world and has certainly already started in many parts of the world like the US or Asia. And it will be necessary in Europe as well because defined benefit programs are not sustainable.”

"Based on a recent survey of our customers: 82% believe that they can find opportunities even in market downturns and in challenging markets because they have over time developed the confidence and tools understanding to participate in the market in the right way.”
