Our approach
As a business that thrives on challenges, we also commit to investing in strategic growth initiatives and continually improving our technology and customer experience. We’re able to do all this because we’re a highly cash-generative business.
Our capital allocation framework balances delivering sustainable returns to shareholders with ongoing investment in the business to execute our growth strategy.
The Group will retain sufficient capital as required to maintain a strong balance sheet, to invest in organic growth and fulfil our citizenship commitment of allocating 1% of adjusted profit after tax to charitable causes, prior to the declaration of Regular Distributions. Following these allocations of capital, the Group will consider inorganic growth investments and Additional Distributions to shareholders of capital that are surplus to our requirements.
Our recent dividend
The Board has proposed a final dividend of 31.94 pence per share, which represents a full-year dividend of 45.2 pence per share (FY22: 44.2 pence per share).

Shareholder value
This graph shows the value of £100 invested in IG Group on 18 Aug 2012 by 18 Aug 2022, compared with the value of £100 invested in the FTSE 250 Index and the FTSE 350 Financial Services Index. As IG Group is a member of both of these indices, we believe it’s appropriate to compare the Group’s performance against them.

Reinvestment plan
You can use your cash dividend to purchase more IG Group shares through our dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP). This is managed by Computershare, which handles our shareholder administration.
At each dividend payment date, Computershare calculates the number of shares that can be bought with your dividend at current market prices (after deducting costs and expenses), and then purchases these shares on your behalf. Any cash balance remaining after shares are bought will be retained, without interest, and added to your next dividend.
For dates and deadlines relating to the DRIP, view our financial event calendar.
