IG is offering new clients a free share bundle worth between £40 and £200 when they invest at least £50 into a general investment account, ISA or SIPP before 31st October 2025.
The investment platform has offered new clients a number of incentives in recent months. October appears to be one of the more generous months for those who open an account, with up to £200 in free shares available when an account is opened.
The up to £200 in free shares will be a bundle comprising leading UK shares, such as AstraZeneca, Tesco, and Unilever.
IG has earned recognition as the 2024 Best Share Dealing Platform by Yourmoney.co.uk, alongside being named Best for Low-cost ISA by the Boring Money Best Buy Awards. IG has over 2 million accounts worldwide across 18 countries.
One of the most compelling reasons to open an IG investment account is the elimination of commission fees on shares and ETFs.
Some traditional brokers often charge substantial fees that can significantly impact your returns, particularly for smaller investments or frequent trading.
With commission-free investing on over 11,000 stocks and ETFs, using IG means every penny of your investment works for you rather than disappearing into fees.
IG offers three distinct account types, each designed for different investment goals and tax situations:
Individual Savings Account (ISA) allows you to invest up to £20,000 annually tax-free, making it ideal if you want to grow your money tax-efficiently and make the most of your annual ISA allowance.
General Investment Account (GIA) provides complete flexibility with no contribution limits, making it perfect for those who’ve already maximised their ISA allowances or want extra flexibility without limits on how much they can invest.
Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) offers a tax-efficient way to build your retirement fund with tax relief on contributions, whilst maintaining control over your investment choices.
IG offers 4% AER variable interest on your cash balance, providing better returns than most traditional savings accounts whilst maintaining easy access to your money. This feature ensures your money works for you even when you’re not actively investing.
IG’s Welcome Bonus promotion runs until 31st October 2025. To be eligible, you must be a UK resident aged 18 or over and make your first investment of at least £50 into an ISA, GIA or SIPP account by the deadline. You must then remain invested until 30th November 2025 to receive your free share bundle.
