    Preserve your wealth

    Capital preservation in investing.

    Providing peace of mind with wealth protection and stability

    At IG, we help you navigate uncertainty with solutions and advice that will help protect your wealth, making the journey to your financial goals smoother and less stressful. ​Here is how we do it: 

    Expertise

    We work with proven global money managers offering expertise in specialized asset classes and strategies.

    Proven solutions

    Our suite of top-performing products includes hard-to-access asset classes that don’t always move in sync with the market.

    An integrated financial plan

    At IG, we look at the whole picture; your investment portfolio is just one part of your integrated financial plan.

    The larger the drop, the harder the climb

    Capital preservation is a critical part of any long-term investment strategy because the larger the loss, the harder it is to recover.

    For example, if an investment drops from $100,000 to $50,000, it’s a 50% loss. To get back to your original $100,000, you would need a 100% return, which is twice the size of the loss.

    If the investment falls from $100,000 to $75,000, it requires only a 33% return to recover. That’s significantly easier than needing to double your money.  The less you lose, the faster and easier it is to rebuild.

    IG offers a diverse range of top-performing investments that have the ability to reduce risk in market downturns while also providing growth during up markets.

    Commissions, fees and expenses may be associated with mutual fund investments. Read the prospectus before investing. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. The rate of return is the historical annual compounded total return including changes in value and reinvestment of all dividends or distributions. It does not take into account sales, redemption, distribution, optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
    The payment of distributions is not guaranteed and may fluctuate. The payment of distributions should not be confused with a fund’s performance, rate of return or yield. If distributions paid by the fund are greater than the performance of the fund, your original investment will shrink. Distributions paid as a result of capital gains realized by a fund, and income and dividends earned by a fund are taxable in your hands in the year they are paid. Your adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If your adjusted cost base goes below zero, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the amount below zero.
