    Due to the evolving political and regulatory landscape surrounding recreational cannabis-related securities, we have decided to stop offering share trading on the below cannabis shares.

    Please note that CFD trading on cannabis shares and our soon-to-be-launched Cannabis Index will not be affected. You can continue to access these markets as normal.
    Which stocks are no longer available for share trading?
    With immediate effect, you can no longer invest in the following companies and ETFs with IG:
    Aphria (US)Aurora Cannabis (US)
    Bod AustraliaCann Global
    CannTrustCanopy Growth (US)
    Corbus PharmaceuticalsCreso Pharma

    eSense-LabETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF
    HEXO CorpInnovative Industrial Properties
    Insys TherapeuticsLifespot Health
    New Age BeveragesStemcell United
    Tilray
    What will happen to my existing shareholdings?
    If you are invested in the affected companies with IG, you’ll need to sell your shares by 9am AEST on Friday 24 May 2019.If you have not sold your shares by then, we will have to sell them on your behalf at the prevailing price and return the funds to you.

    Please note that, given the current uncertainty, we cannot transfer your share trading positions to alternative brokers. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this causes you.
