IVG CAPITAL

IVG Capital is a retail forex and CFD broker registered in Saint Lucia, established on March 7, 2023. The company operates from a registered address at Ground Floor of the Sotheby Building, Rodney Village, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet, Saint Lucia, with a corporate office also listed in London. The broker targets both retail and high-net-worth traders, offering a range of account types with high minimum deposits and leverage up to 1:500. It provides trading in CFDs on forex, commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies, and stocks via the Match-Trader platform.

IVG Capital is not regulated by any major financial authority, which is a significant factor for traders to consider. The broker's registration in Saint Lucia does not imply oversight by a recognised regulator such as the FCA, CySEC, or ASIC. Our review found no evidence of a valid licence from any regulatory body, placing it in the unregulated category. As a result, traders have limited recourse in the event of disputes or financial loss.

Based on our records and the information available on its website, IVG Capital does not hold a licence from any reputable financial regulator. The broker's registration in Saint Lucia is a corporate registration, not a financial services licence. The website mentions 'UK Banking and external audits' but provides no details on which bank or audit firm. No mention of compensation schemes or investor protection is made. According to aggregated industry data, the broker has a high scam risk score of 55 out of 100, reflecting the absence of regulation and limited public information.

We cross-checked the licence claims against public registers and found no matching entry for IVG Capital with the FCA, CySEC, ASIC, or other major regulators. Traders should exercise caution, as unregulated brokers typically offer no protection via deposit guarantee schemes or regulatory ombudsman services. The broker's claim of 'segregated funds' could not be independently verified.

IVG Capital offers five live account tiers designed to cater to different capital levels and trading preferences. The ECN account has the lowest minimum deposit of £1,000 and offers spreads from 1.2 pips with leverage up to 1:500. The Premium account requires £35,000 and offers spreads from 0.8 pips with no commission.

The Gold account starts at £80,000 and provides spreads from 0.2 pips, a personal account manager, and exclusive trading strategies. The VIP account requires £150,000 and features spreads from 0.2 pips, commission from $2 per lot, and 1-on-1 support. The Elite account, listed in our records, requires a minimum deposit of £500,000 and offers leverage up to 1:200.

All accounts include 24/5 customer support and margin call at 100%. Stop-out levels vary: 10% for ECN and Premium accounts, and 15% for Gold and VIP. The broker does not disclose specific spreads or commissions for the Elite account on its website. A demo account is also available, as noted on the site's registration page.

IVG Capital primarily offers the Match-Trader platform, a modern trading platform designed for forex and CFD trading. The platform is available on desktop, mobile, and tablet, and features TradingView charting integration. The broker claims fast execution with backup trade servers in New York and Tokyo. The platform allows trading in over 100 financial instruments, including forex pairs, commodities, cryptocurrencies, indices, and stocks, all as CFDs. While the website promotes institutional-grade spreads, the exact number of instruments is not fully specified.

The broker does not mention MetaTrader 4 or 5, focusing solely on Match-Trader. This may limit traders accustomed to MT4/5. The platform includes features for technical analysis, risk management tools, and one-click trading. Traders can access educational videos and guides on the broker's website, which cover platform usage and charting.

IVG Capital claims fast withdrawals processed within 24 hours, with no excess waiting periods. The website does not specify available payment methods, but the contact page suggests direct communication with support for deposit and withdrawal inquiries. The broker provides customer support via email (support@ivgcapital.com) and phone (02078469201). Compliance-related queries are directed to compliance@ivgcapital.com. The UK phone number suggests a London presence, though the registered office is in Saint Lucia.

The broker does not publish information on accepted currencies or third-party payment processors. Traders should verify available methods before depositing. The support team is available 24/5, aligning with typical forex market hours. No live chat is evident from the website, requiring users to submit a contact form or call.

IVG Capital appears to target well-capitalised retail traders and high-net-worth individuals, given the high minimum deposit requirements for most accounts. The Gold, VIP, and Elite accounts are clearly designed for traders with substantial capital, offering premium services like personal account managers and exclusive strategies. The ECN account, with a £1,000 minimum, is more accessible but still above many retail brokers' entry points. The broker claims to serve both beginners and experienced traders, but its product range and high minimums favour the latter.

Given the lack of strong regulatory oversight, the broker may also appeal to traders seeking high leverage (up to 1:500) and raw spreads, often found among unregulated offshore entities. However, traders should weigh these features against the elevated risk of trading with an unlicensed broker. FXCanary considers this broker suitable only for those who fully accept the lack of regulatory protection.
