IG Group Holdings ( (GB:IGG) ) has issued an update.

IG Group Holdings, the London-listed financial technology group behind the IG, tastytrade, Freetrade and Independent Reserve brands, focuses on providing leveraged trading, stock and investment services, and cryptocurrency trading to a global retail client base. Its business model combines proprietary trading platforms with a multi-brand strategy to capture demand from active traders and investors across major markets.
