IG Wealth Management

Our holistic approach to financial planning is comprehensive and goes beyond traditional investment advice to consider all aspects of your financial life.  We are committed to providing the right information and advice you need to feel confident about your family’s future.

From planned to unplanned, the IG Living Plan Snapshot gives you  a financial well-being score that shows how prepared you are. You’ll answer a series of questions based on five dimensions of financial well-being and then receive a result out of 100 and recommendations on how best to meet your goals. These insights will help you create a comprehensive financial plan that evolves and adapts with your life.

At IG Wealth Management, we strive every day to deliver long-term value to our stakeholders.

As a company of IGM Financial, we have a long-standing commitment to responsible management, which we believe is fundamental to long-term profitability and value creation. We conduct our business in a way that emphasizes good governance, operational integrity, ethical practices and respect for our people, our community and the environment.

Our aim is to act responsibly in everything that we do, and we know that our success also comes from our emphasis on client satisfaction, the development and support of our people, and constructive involvement in the communities in which we operate.

IG Wealth Management is committed to building strong communities across Canada. We believe this starts with Canadians feeling confident about their finances so they can achieve their goals. The IG Empower Your Tomorrow program gives Canadians the resources and confidence they need to own their financial future. Inspiring the financial confidence of Canadians is IG’s vision and the basis for our commitment to building communities.

FROM THE CHAIR

Welcome to the Business Council of Manitoba.

I am honoured to take on the role of Chair of the Board at the Business Council of Manitoba. Following the many past successful chairs, I look forward to bringing the same passion and dedication to advocating for Manitoba’s best interests.

The Council comprises Manitoba’s leading CEOs with shared vision and belief in our province. Since our founding in 1998, the Council has remained committed to collaborating with key stakeholders in Manitoba to lead, promote, and drive innovation and success. This joint effort between political, business, and community leaders has been instrumental in crafting policies that align with our mission of a stronger Manitoba.

We remain dedicated to non-partisan policy advocacy to all three levels of government regarding issues and advancements that affect our community’s success and well-being.

As incoming Chair of the Board, I am proud to lead the Council through this next chapter and look forward to being apart of making Manitoba a preferred place to live, work, and invest.

As a Council we recognize that our office is located on Treaty One lands, the original territories of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, Lakota, Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Metis Nation and wish to recognize and honour all Treaties.  The Business Council is proud of the many relationships it has formed, and we dedicate ourselves to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
