IG enhances its new equities platform – adds market screener

IG Group (LON:IGG) has an update on its new stock broking platform which was launched a couple of weeks ago. The company states that it’s new web-based platform now offers a Market Screener, enabling traders and investors to filter a list of stocks by key metrics such as share price, market cap, dividend yield and more.

While this may not seem like a big deal, IG group is building up it’s intellectual capital bit by bit as bringing your own proprietary trading platform to market takes greater effort and for many companies becomes a huge strategic advantage rather than outsourcing these types of technologies.
