Keen to invest in more than Australian shares? Our winner, IG Markets, could provide the pathway forward.
Geoff Howland, IG's head of marketing for Australia, says, "IG is a global trading platform that has been serving clients around the world for more than 50 years.
"IG has been at the forefront of innovation in the financial markets, allowing our clients to inexpensively access international markets and a wide range of asset classes.
"Our share-trading offering in Australia gives our clients the ability to trade local ASX-listed shares as easily and inexpensively as those in the US, UK and parts of Europe.
"What's more, our platform is supported by an around-the-clock, real-human expert support team who can assist with queries day or night."
According to Howland, IG has no commission for Australian and international shares, and ETFs on an IG share-trading account.
He says, "That's $0 commission for buying or selling domestic and international shares. No catches, no caps - just a 0.7% FX fee on international shares and ETFs.
"This is one of the best - if not the best - pricing for share trading in Australia and sets IG apart for those who want to keep more of the funds they trade with.
"IG also has some of the best access to financial markets in Australia. Australian ASX shares, US, UK, German and Irish shares and ETFs are all just a few clicks away.
"We also offer more than 110 US shares after hours, meaning Australians can trade major US companies during Australian hours and not have to wait for US markets to be open."
