IG Prime, the institutional trading division of IG Group, has partnered with Investec Prime Services in South Africa to provide a white-label multi-asset trading solution designed for institutional market participants.
The collaboration enables Investec Prime Services, a business unit of Investec Bank Limited, to offer clients access to IG Prime's trading technology and market infrastructure under the Investec brand.
The arrangement covers trading capabilities across a range of financial instruments, including derivatives linked to equities, indices, foreign exchange, commodities and fixed-income markets.
Through the white-label model, Investec can combine its established institutional client relationships with IG Prime's technology, execution infrastructure and risk-management capabilities, without developing an entirely separate trading platform.
The partnership is intended to support institutional investors and professional trading firms seeking access to multiple global markets through an integrated operating environment.
IG Prime provides a range of institutional services, including market access, execution technology, trading platforms and financing solutions. Its infrastructure allows financial institutions to develop trading services tailored to their client requirements.
Investec Prime Services offers prime brokerage, execution, clearing, custody and related institutional financial services, making the partnership a complementary addition to its existing capabilities.
The companies have not publicly disclosed the financial terms of the arrangement, the number of clients expected to use the platform or whether the partnership is exclusive.
The collaboration reflects growing demand for white-label trading solutions as financial institutions seek to expand their market offerings while limiting the operational and technological costs associated with building proprietary infrastructure.
For IG Prime, the partnership provides another opportunity to distribute its institutional trading technology through established regional financial institutions, while Investec strengthens its ability to deliver multi-asset market access to South African professional clients.
