What is IG's regulatory licence status and supervisory authorisation?

Which of IG's jurisdictions and licences fall within this site's regulatory coverage?
IG is registered at Cannon Bridge House 25 Dowgate Hill London EC4R 2YA and tracked under our stock brokers, investment platforms and wealth managers scope based on its institutional service profile (Cryptocurrencies, CFDs, Indices, Forex, Stocks, Options) rather than a domestic focus licence. Its 4 recorded licences (FCA, MAS, FSCA, ASIC) should be evaluated for cross-border passporting and local solicitation rules.
What is IG's institutional risk classification, enforcement exposure, and score profile?
IG carries a "risk level not supplied" classification in the source dataset (composite numeric scores are not supplied for this record). The record flags 0 regulatory warning or complaint counts. Because these figures reflect imported source fields rather than primary audit findings, compliance teams should review primary enforcement bulletins directly.
What operational due diligence steps apply to IG's platforms, entity structure, and complaints?
Before allocating capital or executing trades with IG (listed execution software: IG Trading: CFDs & stocks), institutional and retail allocators should: (1) confirm the domain (not supplied in source) against regulator-approved domains to guard against clone firms; (2) verify whether any of the 0 recorded warning/complaint entries or 0 user comments involve withdrawal restrictions or scope violations; and (3) confirm the dispute-resolution ombudsman tied to FCA.
