Wealth means different things to different people. For some, it’s financial independence. For others, it’s peace of mind, flexibility, or the confidence to support what matters most. The definition is personal, the planning should be too.

“Having enough” is not a number, it's a strategy. If you have accumulated meaningful capital but still question long-term sustainability, the issue may not be assets. It may be structure.

Affluent retirees often accumulate significant assets yet remain uncertain about sustainability. The concern is rarely about wealth alone. It is about clarity.

Confidence comes from understanding income durability, tax exposure, healthcare contingencies, and estate implications under multiple scenarios.

Lessons from 100 years of investing: listen now!

This year, IG Wealth Management celebrates 100 years of helping Canadians invest through everything markets can deliver. Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist at IG Wealth Management, takes us through a century of market history; from the 1929 crash to the dot-com boom, the 2008 crisis and pandemic shock. He reveals a surprising pattern: while the triggers change, the rhythm stays remarkably consistent. Excess leads to stress, followed by policy response and recovery. Philip explains why the core building blocks of investing haven't fundamentally changed and shares the real lesson from a century of markets: success isn't about predicting the future perfectly, it's about preparing for it consistently.

Policy changes don’t just impact “the system,” they can influence the structure of your financial plan.

Yesterday's federal update includes:
• Lower CPP contribution rates beginning in 2027
• Greater flexibility for first-time home buyers using RRSP funds
• Expanded tax deductions and training support for skilled trades
• New opportunities for business succession through employee ownership

Individually, these may seem incremental. Together, they can affect cash flow, tax efficiency, and long-term strategy.

This is where coordinated planning turns information into opportunity and we're here to help you implement strategies to stay ahead of these announcements.

On November 4, François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue, presented Canada’s 2025 federal budget. Here is a summary of the most relevant proposals that may impact Canadians.

Q1 2026 was a reminder of how quickly market narratives can change. From economic momentum to geopolitical tension and rising oil prices, the first quarter of 2026 ended on a very different footing than when it began.

For a clear, structured review of what actually happened, and what may come next, read our First Quarter 2026 Market Review.

Inflation does not disappear in retirement, it compounds quietly. Retirees who shift too conservatively too quickly may unintentionally compromise future lifestyle flexibility.

Inflation protection requires thoughtful portfolio construction, diversification beyond fixed income, and a clear understanding of real return objectives.

Balancing income stability with growth exposure is not a simple allocation decision. It is an integrated planning decision tied to spending patterns and legacy priorities.

If your retirement portfolio has not been reviewed through an inflation-adjusted lens, it may warrant a comprehensive evaluation.

The latest episode of The Living Market Podcast is out now: Economy and earnings looking sturdier than market suggests.

Headlines make corrections feel like collapses, but what does the data actually show? Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist at IG Wealth Management, separates market mood from underlying reality. He explores how falling stock prices in the face of rising profit expectations create a better setup, shares surprising strength from major airlines reporting their best booking weeks ever and explains why the economy looks sturdier than investor sentiment suggests heading into earnings season.
