June Felix, appointed chief executive in 2018, told shareholders on Monday morning she will be away for a “short period”.
Chief financial officer Charlie Rozes will become acting chief executive and take over Ms Felix’s “day-to-day responsibilities”, the FTSE 250 company said.
He will also continue in his current role to provide continuity and so the firm can operate its current strategy, it added.

IG, founded by spread-betting entrepreneur Stuart Wheeler in 1974, said reduced market volatility pulled revenues for its over-the-counter derivatives down by 18% for the quarter to February.
The group also failed to match trading levels which had been elevated in the previous year due to sharp market volatility amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The firm is set to reveal its latest full-year financial results on Thursday July 20.
