Review of the Business

SEGMENT STRATEGY

Investors Group continually reviews its strategy to ensure that it is appropriate for both the current financial services environment and any anticipated changes that would affect the industry. We strive to ensure that the interests of shareholders, clients, Consultants and employees are as closely aligned as possible. Investors Group’s business model embraces current trends in the Canadian financial services industry and our strategic plan is focused on:

  1. Emphasizing the delivery of financial planning advice, products and services through our dedicated network of highly trained and well-supported Consultants.

  2. Extending the diversity and range of products offered by Investors Group as we continue to compete effectively by meeting the changing needs of our broad spectrum of clients.

  3. Maximizing returns on business investment by:
    • Capitalizing on economies of scale through our relationship with Mackenzie, Great-West Life, Canada Life and London Insurance Group Inc.
    • Controlling expenditures through the management of staffing levels, improved productivity, effective and continual investments in technology, and the management of discretionary expenses.
    • Directing resources to initiatives that have direct benefits to clients and Consultants.
