British online trading firm IG reports rise in annual profit

Reuters - UK Focus

July 18 (Reuters) - British online financial trading company IG Group Holdings Plc said on Tuesday that full-year pretax profit rose 3 percent, beating analysts' estimates.

The company, which provides online stockbroking and trading services to retail investors, said it had made "good progress" in getting regulatory approval for a subsidiary based in the European Union as it prepares for Britain's exit from the bloc.

IG Group, founded in 1974 as the world's first spread-betting firm, did not say where its EU subsidiary would be.

The company also said it was in the early stages of exploring further opportunities outside the EU.

IG (Frankfurt: A0EARV - news) reported a 3 percent in pretax profit for the year ended May to 213.7 million pounds ($280 million), beating company compiled consensus estimates of 211.7 million pounds, based on 5 analysts, in a year it called one of the least volatile in financial markets for decades.
