  • ASIC regulation + wide platform selection
  • Well-regarded support
  • A relatively new (2019) & small broker
  • Many clients via the VFSC Vanuatu entity (light regulation)
  • Leverage is high-risk
IG
  • Very strong regulation — supervised by the FCA & a FTSE 100 public company (high financial transparency from public-company duties)
  • One of the oldest & largest providers (since 1974) with 19,000+ markets
  • Mature platforms: proprietary web + mobile app + MT4 in some markets
  • Leveraged products (CFDs/spread betting) remain high-risk regardless of strong regulation
  • Spreads/fees aren't always the cheapest compared to low-cost ECN brokers
