IG the broker
IG is a British-origin broker specializing in financial derivatives trading services, especially CFDs, Forex, and Futures.
IG history
Broker founded in 1974 in London by Stuart Wheeler, an entrepreneur, financier, and even political activist.
It was born under the brand name IG Index, its brand evolved but always through the initials IG, which correspond to the English words Investor Gold. At that time, they gave the opportunity to buy gold as an index instead of the asset itself, hence the name.
The year 2000 was an important year in the company's development, as with the turn of the century, IG changed its name to IG Group Plc and started trading on the London Stock Exchange.
Starting from this year 2000, a period of expansion begins. In 2002, it starts operating in Australia. During this period, it tries to enter the US market, but the legislation does not allow it to operate with its main services, CFDs and spread betting.
2012 is another critical year in the development of the company, as it consolidated its business in the UK under a single brand, IG, thus dropping only the initials.
Operational units
With the rebranding to IG also came a restructuring, and the company began operating with two business units:
IG Markets, which offers CFDs
IG Index which offers spread betting

BMV - The Mexican Stock Exchange
BMV (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores) stands for Mexican Stock Exchange and is the financial organization responsible for establishing mechanisms and instruments for the trading of securities in Mexico.
Just like in other stock markets, through the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), companies can go public by listing their stocks, and the stocks are bought and sold through an auction mechanism between the supply of available securities and the demand for them.
How many companies operate in the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV)?
The Mexican stock market is very small compared to the size of its economy. There are only 139 companies that have shares listed on the stock exchange.
BMV market capitalization
The entire Mexican Stock Exchange, made up of 139 companies, has a value of $517.124 billion dollars, which naturally fluctuates due to being listed on the stock market. Its main index, the S&P/BMV IPC, alone has a market value of $410.451 billion dollars.
