Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market, shaped through a prolonged historical development, stands as one of the world's pivotal forex markets, boasting profound financial heritage and a highly advanced financial system. With its vast trading scale, diverse trading instruments, high market transparency, and stringent regulation, it serves as a core global hub for forex trading. To assist investors or practitioners in gaining a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, an on-site inspection team conducted field visits across the UK.

Process

The on-site inspection team visited the forex broker IG in the UK as scheduled. According to public information, its office address is Cannon Bridge House 25 Dowgate Hill London EC4R 2YA United Kingdom.

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously safeguard investors' interests, meticulously planned and traveled to the UK to conduct an on-site verification of the broker claiming to be located at Cannon Bridge House 25 Dowgate Hill London EC4R 2YA United Kingdom IG.

The field investigator successfully arrived at the target building, which is located in the central area of London with a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no company logo or related information of IG was found on the exterior of the building.

The inspector entered the building lobby and explained their purpose to the security personnel but failed to obtain entry permission. Moreover, no company signage for IG was observed inside the building, and photography was not allowed in the lobby.

Since access to the building is not possible, it is impossible to reach the target floor to confirm whether there are clear signs or security measures in IG's office area, nor can one enter the interior. Additionally, it is not possible to photograph the reception area or its logo, and the office space is not a shared workspace.

Through the glass door of the building, it is still impossible to observe the internal environment of the company and other situations.

Therefore, after on-site verification, it was confirmed that the broker IG does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The on-site investigator visited the forex broker IG in the UK as planned. At the publicly displayed business address, no information such as the company name of the broker was found, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine business premises. Investors are advised to make their choices after comprehensive consideration.
