Winston Score History

The full picture

IGM Financial is a Canadian company that helps people manage and invest their money. It owns well-known brands like IG Wealth Management and Mackenzie Investments, which offer mutual funds, financial planning, and investment advice mainly to everyday Canadian investors. It also holds a large stake in Great-West Lifeco, connecting it to the broader insurance and financial services industry.

IGM makes most of its money by charging fees based on how much money clients have invested — so when markets rise, revenue tends to rise too. The company operates almost entirely in Canada, with over $250 billion in assets under management, giving it significant scale in the domestic market. Its large advisor network and established brand relationships create some stickiness with clients, but the shift toward lower-cost index funds and robo-advisors is a real competitive pressure the company must navigate over time.
