Our fundamental approach
Disciplined asset allocation
iProfile Portfolios are built on the investment theory of strategic asset allocation. We determine the right allocation to different asset classes for each portfolio. These asset classes could include bonds, stocks and alternative investments, from Canada and other key markets across the globe.
Portfolios are rebalanced regularly to maintain the appropriate mix of assets, to ensure that the agreed level of risk remains consistent.
iProfile Portfolios bring instant diversification
With iProfile Portfolios, you’ll own a highly diversified and expertly managed portfolio that includes assets from various countries and a wide variety of industries. We’ve made it easy to choose the portfolio that matches your investment objective and the level of risk or volatility that’s right for you.
iProfile Portfolios also make investment administration easier when it comes to rebalancing. Our professional portfolio managers oversee and maintain the asset allocation exposures so you don’t have to.
How we choose iProfile Portfolio asset managers
Part of the process of developing iProfile Portfolios is to hand-pick established, top-performing asset managers from across the globe, all with a proven investment track record.
To do this, we go through a comprehensive selection process and a review of key criteria, including:
Past performance
A successful investment strategy
Long-term experience and stability
Diversified expertise
Research resources
After selecting our asset managers, we monitor their performance continuously, to ensure they maintain their excellent performance levels.
Our diversified investment approach – and why it matters
As well as diversifying by the type and location of assets, we go a step further by also diversifying by company size and these investment styles:
Core: Has no clear bias toward either growth or value.
Growth: Focuses on companies with high earnings growth or the potential to achieve it.
Value: Concentrates on two types of companies: those that may be undervalued by the market and dividend-paying, established companies in mature industries.
These different investment styles add further diversification with the goal of enhancing growth, managing volatility and ultimately delivering a smoother investor experience.
Investor profiles
The four iProfile Portfolios offer options to match varying degrees of risk tolerance and investment time horizons.
We manage risk by diversifying assets by type, geographical location, company size and investment style. We manage it further by varying the mix of fixed income investments and equities.
Our suite of four comprehensive portfolio solutions range from conservative to aggressive risk tolerance:
Why we continuously monitor iProfile Portfolios
Normally, when you invest in a broad range of investments, market actions can alter the balance of your portfolio. Rebalancing it could require selling some assets, which might have tax consequences.
iProfile Portfolios, are always kept in balance to ensure that they continue to be aligned with your objectives and risk tolerance.
The portfolios are rebalanced regularly to maintain the appropriate mix of assets, to ensure that the level of risk remains consistent.
We provide tax-efficient options for your non-registered investments, including Series T solutions, which provide tax-efficient, steady monthly cash flow through the return of capital option.

Investor profiles
The iProfile Private Portfolios offer a range of asset allocations, diversified across geographies, market capitalization and investment style. This diversity of options allows the appropriate solution to be selected for each individual investor, in keeping with their investor profile, investment time horizon and investment goals. With dozens of model portfolios to choose from, your IG advisor will help make the best choice for your unique situation.
The iProfile Private Portfolios can be adapted to each investor’s tax situation to help minimize and defer the effects of income tax on investment growth and income. When investments earn income from interest, dividends or realized capital gains, some of these gains and/or income are lost to taxation. With iProfile, investors can opt to receive a tax-efficient steady monthly cash flow through the return of capital option.
Series T shares are available on the iProfile Private Pools and iProfile Private Classes (excluding Money Market Class). The cash flow amount is set at the end of each year on or about December 31 for the next year as a percentage of the net asset value per share but may be adjusted or discounted if determined by the Corporation to be in the best interest of the pools.
The iProfile Private Portfolios program is ideal for investors who value personalized advice and a disciplined multi-manager approach to managing their investments that does not require their hands-on involvement to achieve long-term results.
Access to iProfile Private Portfolios program starts with an in-depth financial planning discovery process with your IG advisor to identify your personal investment goals, your investment time horizon and your comfort level with risk and volatility. Once that process is complete, your IG advisor will recommend the iProfile Private Portfolio best suited to your investment objectives.
