IG Prime, the institutional arm of IG Group (a FTSE 100 company), confirms Investec Prime Services, a business unit within Investec Bank Limited, as a new partner for its institutional white label solution.

The solution provides institutional clients in South Africa with access to IG’s multi-asset global trading platform under the Investec Prime Services brand. The partnership demonstrates IG’s focus on expanding market reach and accelerating growth through customised, technology-powered collaboration. IG Prime’s institutional white label solution delivers comprehensive advantages to partners:

• Global market access: Full range of derivative products, spanning equities, indices, foreign exchange, commodities and fixed income — drawing on the c.19,000 financial instruments IG offers globally, including 12,000 different equities
• Superior trade execution: Full integration with IG Prime’s advanced, low latency execution infrastructure
• Extended trading hours: 24/5 access to selected equity markets, plus weekend index and foreign exchange markets
• End-to-end platform integration: Fully branded front-to-back offering combining trading, analytics, and risk management within a secure and scalable environment
• Compliance excellence: A platform designed to meet the highest regulatory standards

IG Prime’s brokerage business has a proven track record serving institutional funds and clients with synthetic, trading and financing solutions. The platform provides global market access via desktop and mobile channels, and proprietary execution systems.

Babita Ittoo Devillers, Managing Director of IG Prime, commented: “The go-live of our white label offering was a pivotal step for IG Prime. Our technology infrastructure is built not just to serve our own institutional clients at the highest level, but to power the ambitions of leading financial brands globally. The strength of interest from prospective partners gives us real confidence in the scale of the opportunity ahead.”

IG Prime explains that giving institutions full access to IG’s established technology and architecture, which benefits from a substantial programme of continuous investment and innovation, has clear advantages for institutions over having to build and maintain their own platforms for clients.
