July 8 (Reuters) - Britain's IG Group ( IGGRF ) on Wednesday

proposed establishing a new group holding company in Jersey as

the online trading platform presses ahead with a strategic

overhaul aimed at unlocking shareholder value.

The FTSE 100 firm's Jersey plan reflects a broader shift in

its business away from its British roots, with around two-thirds

of revenue now generated outside the UK.

London-listed financial firms have increasingly sought

structural flexibility to pursue growth in fast-moving global

markets reshaped by new trading technologies.

IG also posted an 18% year-on-year jump in first-half

revenue, with active customers increasing about 66% on a

reported basis.
