Broader Market Context

The wealth management industry benefited from stronger market performance and renewed investor confidence in Q3. Equity indexes gained across regions, with the S&P/TSX up 12.5%, S&P 500 up 8.1%, and CSI 300 up 19%, driving a 6.2% client index return across IGM portfolios.

In Canada, long-term mutual fund sales rebounded across the industry, reversing last year’s redemptions. IGM outperformed peers, posting above-average fund flows and market-share gains across both retail and institutional channels. The company’s exposure to ChinaAMC, Northleaf, and Wealthsimple provides unique access to high-growth asset classes and technology-driven investor segments that traditional firms have struggled to penetrate.

1. Wealth Management: Sustained Growth at IG Wealth

IG Wealth Management reported record assets under advisement of $155.9 billion, up 14% year over year. The business recorded $3.8 billion in gross inflows and continued its streak of positive net sales. Notably, 79% of flows originated from mass affluent and high-net-worth clients, underscoring IG’s success in deepening relationships with higher-value households.

The company’s mortgage and insurance solutions gained traction, with mortgage funding up 12% year over year and new insurance premiums up 10%. IG Wealth also ranked #1 among full-service dealers in the Investment Executive 2025 Report Card, with a client Net Promoter Score of 81, the highest in company history.

2. Asset Management: Mackenzie’s Momentum and Global Reach

Mackenzie Investments delivered a standout quarter, reporting record AUM of $239.5 billion, up 13% year over year. Net sales totaled $2.0 billion, including strong ETF inflows of $265 million. Retail mutual fund redemptions narrowed significantly to $258 million, compared to $556 million last year, reflecting improving investor sentiment and competitive product innovation.

The firm launched 11 new investment funds in Q3, expanding into private markets through its partnership with Northleaf Capital, whose AUM rose 16% to $34.4 billion. Mackenzie also advanced its position in China through ChinaAMC, which maintained #2 market share in China’s long-term fund market at 6.7%, with assets exceeding ¥3 trillion.

3. Strategic Investments: Wealthsimple and Rockefeller Value Uplift

IGM’s fintech and global wealth holdings continue to deliver substantial value creation. Wealthsimple’s assets under advisement surpassed $100 billion, up 94% year-over-year, supported by client growth to 3 million. A third-party transaction in October lifted its valuation to $2.2 billion, making it one of Canada’s most valuable private fintechs.

Meanwhile, Rockefeller Capital Management continues its U.S. expansion, with client assets rising to US$186.8 billion, a 25% year-over-year increase. IGM plans to sell a small portion of its Rockefeller stake in Q4 2025, while remaining the company’s second-largest shareholder and maintaining long-term strategic alignment.

The TIKR Takeaway

IGM Financial’s Q3 results confirm broad-based earnings strength, disciplined cost management, and expanding global reach. Both core businesses, IG Wealth and Mackenzie, delivered record client assets, while strategic investments in Wealthsimple and Rockefeller generated meaningful unrealized value that now rivals IGM’s traditional market capitalization.

The company’s 2026 outlook remains supported by tailwinds in wealth management demand, digital adoption, and international diversification. With net inflows improving, leverage falling, and expense growth contained, IGM is demonstrating a balanced path between shareholder returns and reinvestment for long-term growth.

Should You Buy, Sell, or Hold IGM Financial Stock in 2025?

IGM combines stable Canadian retail franchises with fast-growing digital and global investments. The company’s consistent double-digit earnings growth, dividend reliability, and value accretion from Wealthsimple and Rockefeller make it an appealing long-term compounder in the financial sector. Near-term catalysts include additional fintech monetization and continued margin expansion at Mackenzie.
