Simply put, because it’s the right thing to do. As a market leader in financial advice for 100 years, IG Wealth Management has a unique responsibility to foster financial wellness among Canadians. Our national presence and deep-rooted commitment to the communities we serve are integral to our identity.
We’re committed to direct engagement with the communities we serve and partnering with reputable, well-vetted non-profit organizations. We encourage our employees and Advisors to lead initiatives and participate in causes that matter to them. We foster a culture where our people feel supported and inspired to make a difference, through volunteering, skills-based contributions and leadership development in community settings. As an Imagine Canada-certified company, IG contributes 1% of our pre-tax profits every year to support charitable and not-for-profit organizations across Canada.
We believe we have a unique responsibility to help foster financial wellness among Canadians. Through our own initiatives and our many partnerships, we equip Canadians with the tools, resources and insights they need to take charge of their financial futures and improve their financial well-being.
Our efforts are focussed on four underserved groups: Indigenous Peoples, Seniors, Youth and Newcomers. We believe that financial understanding (coupled with the right resources and skills) empowers Canadians to reach their goals and build a healthier, brighter future for themselves, their families and their communities.
There are more than 600,000 Canadians living with dementia today and that number is expected to double in just 10 years. IG is a proud National Sponsor of the Alzheimer Society and the national sponsor for the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, the largest fundraising event for the Alzheimer Society.
We proudly partner with a number of extraordinary organizations. Together, we are building stronger communities.
The IG Financial Confidence Index tracks and reports on Canadians' overall financial confidence by examining IG’s Four Pillars of Financial Confidence: Current Personal Financial Situation, Personal Financial Outlook, Planning and Literacy and Trust in the Economy.
This year’s Index score (52) rose above the historical average (51) for the first time since 2021, revealing an interesting paradox. Despite widespread concerns about the global economy, political instability and affordability, Canadians are showing a surprising degree of optimism and self-reliance when it comes to their personal finances.
Among IG’s four priority community groups, Indigenous Canadians’ confidence saw a significant rise of nine points this year, while seniors remained steady at 60 points and newcomers to Canada decreased four points, confirming why we continue to focus on building financial confidence among these groups.
