Our UK.StockBrokers.com team spent seven months and hundreds of hours assessing 12 different share dealing accounts for buying shares online in the UK. In total, 124 individual variables were assessed. For this review, we will compare DEGIRO vs IG Group.
To start this comparison, first, we will take a look at the fees charged for dealing in the UK. It's important to note that not only is there the cost to place the trade, but most share dealing brokers also charge a monthly, quarterly, or annual management fee depending on the type and size of your portfolio. We assessed both to provide a single star rating for cost. Both DEGIRO and IG Group share a rating of 4.50 stars.
Cost aside, we can now turn our focus to popular tools and features investors prefer in the UK. Account access is certainly at the top of the list, and IG Group offers clients ISA, SIPP and Spread Betting while DEGIRO offers none of these. Looking at charting, the number of drawing tools and total technical indicators made available are important as well as stock alerts. IG Group offers its clients access to 19 charting tools while DEGIRO has 0 charting tools, a difference of 19. IG Group boasts an offering of 26 different indicators (for example, moving averages) compared to DEGIRO's 23 available indicators. IG Group makes basic stock alerts available to clients, while DEGIRO does not. Finally, for conducting research while share dealing, having access to mutual fund research reports is also helpful. Neither DEGIRO and IG Group offer fund research reports.
Overall, between DEGIRO and IG Group, IG Group is the winner.
