IG Empower Your Tomorrow
Our commitment
Community involvement has always been important at IG Wealth Management. As a partner of Imagine Canada and one of the founding members of their Caring Companies program, we contributeat least 1% of our average annual pre-tax income to communities across Canada.
The power of financial confidence
Through community support and engagement, we can help Canadians build a better financial future for themselves. IG Empower Your Tomorrow is our commitment to provide Canadians with the education and resources they need to feel confident about their finances. As the financial world continues to evolve, IG Wealth Management is committed to providing the support and guidance necessary to empower Canadians to achieve their financial goals.
Many Canadians go their whole lives without the knowledge they need to navigate their financial life. At IG Wealth Management, we aim to change that.
Financial Confidence Index
The less you know about something, the more likely you are to avoid it.
This is what we discovered about Canadians and their finances, after analyzing research results provided by IPSOS. Without the assistance from someone who can help them navigate the world of personal finances, many Canadians avoid the subject of their finances.
The following Financial Confidence Index is a measure that seeks to capture Canadians’ level of confidence with their personal financial situation. It is based on responses that were given to six survey questions, which account for short-term and long-term financial considerations. Index scoring ranges from 0 to 100, where a score of 0 indicates no confidence at all, and a score of 100 indicates complete confidence on all items included.
The average score was 59 out of 100. This score reflects how Canadians feel about their personal finances, and how their views on things like effort, stress and avoidance differ based on their financial confidence levels.
