Summary

  • Five IG Wealth Management retail funds have shifted to Goldman Sachs Asset Management's Multi-Asset Solutions team and been renamed the IG Strategic Wealth Portfolios.
  • Goldman Sachs will add its own flagship strategies to the former IG Core Portfolios, combining them with existing holdings through its open-architecture, multi-manager platform.
  • The firms said the move is meant to give IG clients and Canadian retail investors broader access to globally diversified equity, fixed-income and alternative strategies that were historically reserved for institutional investors.
  • Goldman Sachs said its team will run the portfolios with active asset allocation, risk discipline and a more dynamic approach as global economic conditions become faster-moving and less predictable.
  • The five renamed funds span Income Focus, Income Balanced, Balanced, Balanced Growth and Growth, extending the partnership across IG's core retail lineup.
