FNG Exclusive… Continuing a number of executive moves seen in the online trading sector to begin 2026, as well as a series of senior level departures at leading UK broker IG Group (LON:IGG) over the past few months, FNG has learned that longtime IG executive Adam Blemings has left the company.

Adam Blemings was with IG for close to 20 years, initially joining as a Futures Dealer in 2006. After a brief stint overseas with IG Australia, Adam was named Deputy Head of Futures and FX at IG back in London in 2012. After removing the “Deputy” part of his title in 2015, Adam became Head of Trading at IG in 2019, and most recently served as Trading Director.

Adam posted the following note today on social media regarding his departure from IG.

As 2025 came to a close, so did my IG career, just shy of the 20-year milestone. It’s been a hell of a ride, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with so many talented people over the years, many of which I now count as friends, not just colleagues.

I leave behind a brilliant team in Trading and Operations, who I am certain will continue to smash it.

One of my biggest learnings as Trading Director was the power of followership. Good leadership creates the conditions for strong followership—trust, purpose, respect, and empowerment—while strong followers actively choose to engage, contribute, and support a leader’s direction. I hope I came close to earning the level of followership that my own managers inspired in me, and I remain indebted to them for their support, trust, and wisdom.

For now, I’m looking forward to an extended break before seeing where 2026 takes me. If you fancy a coffee—or something stronger—in a few months’ time, feel free to give me a shout.
