Investors Group Inc. is a diversified financial services company operating primarily in Canada and is 100% owned by IGM Financial Inc. Investors Group offers an exclusive family of mutual funds, other investment vehicles, insurance, mortgage products and other financial services through a network of approximately 4,100 exclusive advisors.
In October 2017, IGM Financial Inc. announced the consolidation of the internal investment management functions of two of its subsidiaries, Investors Group and Mackenzie Investments, to form a single global investment management organization to support both companies under Mackenzie Investments. The majority of this transition occurred prior to the end of 2017, with the remaining consolidation to occur in 2018.
Given this change, in consultation with the PRI, Investors Group has chosen to not report in detail on its ESG integration and active ownership practices in 2018 for its minimal internally managed assets remaining at December 31, 2017. Please refer to the 2017 Transparency Report for further detail.
Following completion of the investment management transition, Investors Group will use a combination of portfolio management expertise from Mackenzie Investments, supplemented with other leading third-party investment talent. Investors Group will continue to manage the Investors Real Property Fund on an in-house basis.
