IG Group is launching a new investment partnership with the help from Blackrock, the company officially announced. The IG Smart Portfolios effort is aimed at retail clients that are not interested to actively trade the market themselves. The product consists of model investment portfolios with asset allocation advice from the biggest asset managers in the world, Blackrock.
Commenting on the launch, the Head of UK and Ireland at IG Group, Ian Peacock, said: “Our research shows that many investors are confident handling their own investment choices, but even so, a number are still being blindsided by fees.
