(Reuters) – Online trading platform IG Group on Thursday reported a slower growth in half-yearly profit and said it added fewer new active clients than in the previous year, as market volatility spurred in part by the COVID-19 pandemic eased.
The London-listed firm posted a single-digit rise in pre-tax profit to 245.2 million pounds ($329.23 million) for the six months ended November 2021, compared with 227.8 million pounds a year earlier.
