IG Offers New Investors Up to £200 in Free UK Shares This September

Leading online investment platform IG is running a limited-time promotion throughout September 2025, giving new customers the chance to receive up to £200 worth of free UK company shares. To qualify, investors must deposit and trade a minimum of £50 in an investment account, ISA, or SIPP.

Why IG Is Launching This Free Shares Offer

The UK’s FTSE 100 index has hit record highs in 2025, partly fuelled by investors moving away from potentially overvalued US stocks and the wider impact of Donald Trump’s trade policies. Despite the stock market rally, many people in Britain still favour keeping their money in cash savings rather than investing.

IG says its promotion is designed to encourage more individuals to start investing in UK businesses, helping them grow their wealth over the long term.

Of course, investing always carries risk, and the value of your investments can fall as well as rise. However, history shows that over time, stocks tend to outperform cash savings and have a better chance of beating inflation.

How the IG Free Shares Promotion Works

By depositing and trading at least £50, new IG customers will be randomly allocated free shares from a range of leading UK-listed companies. The allocation is based on probability, meaning some investors will receive a larger bonus than others.
