About IG Wealth Management
Founded in 1926, IG Wealth Management is a national leader in delivering personalized financial solutions to Canadians through a network of Consultants located across Canada. In addition to an exclusive family of mutual funds and other investment vehicles, IG offers a wide range of other financial services. IG Wealth Management has over $105 billion in assets under management as of February 28, 2021 and is a member of the IGM Financial Inc. (TSX: IGM) group of companies. IGM Financial is one of Canada's leading diversified wealth and asset management companies with approximately $244 billion in total assets under management as of February 28, 2021.

1 In considering the merger, the IRC determined that the merger:
  • Represents the business judgment of IG Wealth Management, uninfluenced by considerations other than the best interests of the merging funds and continuing fund.
  • Complies with IG Wealth Management' s written policies and procedures.
  • Achieves a fair and reasonable result for the merging funds and continuing fund.

This merger qualifies as a 'pre-approved' merger under securities regulations because it does not involve a substantive change in investment objectives or investment strategies for securityholders of the merging fund; the continuing fund will have a reduced maximum management fee as compared to the merging fund; and the merger will occur on a tax-deferred basis.

Accordingly, as permitted by securities regulations, and as mentioned in the simplified prospectus of the merging fund and continuing fund, it is not necessary to seek approval from the securityholders of the merging fund, as the IRC has approved this merger based on certain conditions being met (including that securityholders receive written notice about the merger at least 60 days in advance).


Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. © Investors Group Inc. 2020.
