IG WEALTH MANAGEMENT SIMPLIFIES PRODUCT SHELF TO BETTER SERVE CLIENTS

IGM Financial Inc.'s IG Wealth Management today made a series of proposed changes that are intended to simplify its investment lineup, reduce duplication, enhance efficiency and ensure clients continue to have access to investment solutions that reflect evolving needs. They include multiple fund mergers and one fund termination.

The proposed mergers are designed to transition investors into funds with similar investment objectives and risk profiles, while providing greater scale and efficiency that can enhance long-term performance potential. Of the eight proposed mergers, two are subject to investor approval and six do not require a vote. In addition, IG intends to terminate one private pool, IG PanAgora Risk Parity Private Pool. All costs associated with the proposed changes will be borne by IG.

"We regularly review our investment offerings to ensure our advisors continue to deliver strong outcomes for clients," said Florence Narine, head of investment solutions, IG Wealth Management. "The proposed fund mergers are designed to make our investment lineup easier to navigate, eliminate unnecessary overlap and ensure clients have access to solutions that support their long-term financial goals."

Investors of record as of Feb. 13, 2026, will receive an information circular and be asked to vote on two of the proposed mergers at a special meeting to be held on April 7, 2026. If approved, the mergers are expected to occur on or about April 17, 2026.

No investor action is required for the remaining six mergers. Investors will receive at least 60 days of notice with details regarding the mergers. The mergers are expected to occur on or about April 17, 2026.

The IG independent review committee has reviewed the proposed mergers and determined that, if implemented, they would achieve a fair and reasonable result for the funds.

In addition, IG Wealth Management intends to terminate the IG PanAgora Risk Parity Private Pool as part of its continuing review of its investment offerings and in response to evolving investor demand. Investors will receive at least 60 days of notice and proactive communication to ensure a smooth transition. This termination will take place on or about April 17, 2026.
