Annual Report | 5 From Our IGM Family to Yours Letter to Shareholders We hope you, your family and loved ones are staying safe. As it was for many of you, 2020 was a year unlike any other for IGM Financial. However, despite the multiple challenges our business and people faced, we built on our momentum and achieved some record results. We were able to do this because we focused on what was important: the health and well-being of our people and being there for our clients when they needed us most. Our success can also be attributed to the foundational work we began four years ago – a strategic and operational transformation that gave us relevance, speed and flexibility when the pandemic occurred. On behalf of the leadership team, we thank IGM employees, consultants, and advisors for their flexibility, resilience and commitment to our clients throughout 2020. Almost 90 per cent of our people were able to shift to work-from-home within two weeks of the pandemic. That transition was near-seamless, thanks to new tools and infrastructure we already had in place. For Canadian investors, our ability to stay connected while providing the financial services they needed helped them navigate an often-challenging environment. In September, IGM Financial and IG Wealth Management President and CEO Jeff Carney retired for health reasons. It’s a testament to his leadership and vision that the company was able to successfully work through this change and not miss a beat. We owe a debt of gratitude to Jeff for setting the entire organization up for success both today and tomorrow, and we wish him and his family the very best. With Jeff’s departure, we welcomed James O’Sullivan as President and CEO of IGM Financial and Damon Murchison as President and CEO of IG Wealth Management. In October, IGM realigned its reportable segments to better characterize the company’s business lines and improve transparency into our key business drivers, including Wealth Management, Asset Management and Strategic Investments. The second half of 2020 also saw significant M&A activity, including several strategic acquisitions and investments to bolster our asset management business in important areas such as group retirement, private markets and sustainable investing. 6 | 2020 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report From Our IGM Family to Yours As a result of our collective efforts, together we achieved some outstanding milestones in 2020. We ended the year with record-high assets under management and advisement (AUM&A) of $240 billion, up 26 per cent from last year. Net inflows for the year of $7.1 billion were also a record high, up from net outflows of $1.7 billion in 2019. Annual net earnings of $764.4 million or $3.21 per share compared to $746.7 million or $3.12 per share in 2019, and annual adjusted net earnings were $762.9 million or $3.20 per share compared to $763.9 million or $3.19 per share in 2019. Accelerating our Business Operations Transformation In 2020, we hit the midpoint of our five-year transformational journey to modernize our employee, consultant, advisor and client experience, while also continuing the digitization of our back office for greater efficiency and agility. The foundations laid in 2019 were critically important in helping our organization successfully respond to and navigate the challenges of the pandemic. Our transformational work allowed us to quickly pivot when the pandemic hit and change the way we serve our clients. For example, we moved from meeting face-to-face across kitchen tables or in advisor/consultant offices to video conferencing and are now using new mobile apps and adopting online documents, including e-signatures. The transition from predominantly in-person service to a virtual environment was supported and driven through our consultants’ transition to Salesforce and digital forms, which occurred in early 2020. In addition, our employee experience was further enhanced in 2020 as we implemented SAP’s leading HR platform, SuccessFactors, to better manage everything from employee benefits to vacation time. We also engaged Soroc Technology to manage and service all our staff and consultants’ end-user productivity tools, including laptops and mobile devices. The result is enhanced service delivered more cost-effectively. Major steps and new partnerships with global leaders furthered our operational efficiencies. This included moving data operations to Google Cloud, which provided us with cost savings, advanced data analytics and AI capabilities. In the back office, our relationship with Capco provided new technologies that have streamlined and, in many cases, automated processes that were once labour-intensive. While our journey is not yet complete, we are well on our way to becoming one of the most modern financial institutions in the country. During the last two years we have implemented outsourcing, automation and efficiency initiatives that will reduce ongoing expenses by $40 million per year.
