Against this backdrop, IGM Financial entered a new and exciting chapter as a business while staying true to our ongoing commitment of bettering the lives of Canadians by better planning and managing their money. During the year we provided our clients with the guidance and support they required to navigate these challenges demonstrating how sound strategy and execution deliver the best results. By remaining committed to their financial plans, our clients were rewarded with strong overall average client returns of almost 10% over the year. Our deep pool of talent allowed us to maintain momentum in our core businesses, control our expenses and work more efficiently. We also made important, far-reaching investments that set our company up for meaningful earnings growth in the years ahead. We continued to keep a close eye on expenses. This enabled us to reduce our annual expense guidance to no more than 2%. We ended 2023 with assets under management and advisement (AUM&A) of $240 billion, up 7.1% from December 31, 2022 (excluding IPC). Annual net earnings were $1,148.9 million or $4.82 per share and annual adjusted net earnings (a non-IFRS financial measure) were $820.7 million or $3.44 per share. Our focus on expenses did not curtail our investment in our businesses. We continued to work with leading global technology partners such as Salesforce, Microsoft, Google and Broadridge to optimize our performance and deepen our relationships with advisors and investors. These initiatives are updating our back office, modernizing our corporate contact centre and enhancing both the client and employee experience. Having substantially completed the modernization of our major systems and technology investments to strengthen our performance and competitive industry position, we were able to simplify our operations and reduce structural costs. This included eliminating duplicate roles and systems, enabling partnerships across the business and enhancing efficiencies. These strategic initiatives allowed us to reinvest in our future and realign and support our core businesses while accelerating growth and reducing costs. Our deep bench of talent and leadership have executed exceptionally well amid market fluctuations and macroeconomic challenges. 6 From our IGM family to yours resilience through periods of market instability while helping them navigate all aspects of their financial lives. At IG Wealth Management, Damon Murchison and his team executed a number of key initiatives in 2023 to drive long-term growth and business success while enriching and elevating the advisor and client experience. This included investing in technology platforms and partnerships to further digitalize the business and strengthen the breadth of our advice through innovation and championing best practices across our diverse and growing advisor network to meet the needs of mass affluent and high-net-worth Canadians. These strategies resulted in client AUA increasing to $121.2 billion from $110.8 billion in 2022. Net outflows were $165 million. IG maintained momentum in attracting and serving clients from the high-net-worth and mass affluent market segments, with inflows of IG-managed investments to new affluent clients with investments of more than $500,000 growing by 58.3% since 2020. Our modernization of IG’s investment management and financial planning platforms continued in 2023. In January, we increased our equity interest in China Asset Management Co. (ChinaAMC) to 27.8%, deepening our participation in the Chinese asset management industry with one of the nation’s leading asset managers. This growing relationship creates growth opportunities for us and strengthens, diversifies and differentiates our global business. And in April, we announced a 20.5% investment in Rockefeller Capital Management, an exciting strategic milestone that expands IGM’s wealth management footprint into the U.S. through an iconic brand in the high- and ultra-high-net-worth space. The partnership exemplifies our commitment to diversification and growth while deepening the connected strength of our family of businesses and strategic investments. Concurrent with the Rockefeller transaction, we announced the sale of one of our wealth management businesses, Investment Planning Counsel (IPC), to our sister company, Canada Life Assurance Company, allowing us to strengthen our focus and investment in our core businesses. We would like to thank IPC CEO Blaine Shewchuk, Executive Chair Chris Reynolds and the entire team for their contributions to IGM over the last twenty years. Today, our realigned business positions IGM for future growth across all demographic segments and varied geographies. Our lineup of businesses are leaders in their respective industries: a wealth management powerhouse in IG Wealth Management, Rockefeller and Wealthsimple, and a dynamic asset management portfolio of businesses in Mackenzie Investments, ChinaAMC and Northleaf Capital Partners. Wealth management During more challenging economic times we demonstrate our greatest value to Canadians, providing them with the tools and guidance they need to build James O’Sullivan President and Chief Executive Officer IGM Financial 7 2023 IGM Financial Annual Reportnesto Mortgage Cloud solution, introduced in 2023 with implementation continuing through 2024, helps IG advisors provide clients with an easier, faster and best-in-class digital mortgage experience. Similarly, our financial planning platform, from industry leading software provider Conquest Planning, has become a critical piece of our modern financial planning business and continues to deliver a highly responsive, sophisticated and nimble level of planning at a time when advisors are adapting to changing client scenarios, priorities and expectations. During the year, IG introduced IG Private Company Advisory, a dedicated team that supports owners of small and mid-sized Canadian businesses with advice tailored to suit their companies in key areas such as growth strategy, raising capital, mergers and acquisitions and divestitures. We continued to enhance our multi-channel client engagement model throughout 2023, allowing us to deliver a best-in-class financial planning experience across the full spectrum of client needs while remaining dedicated to the ongoing growth of the mass affluent and high-net-worth client segments. This includes a Dedicated Channel, which provides full-service access to expert financial advisors and IG Wealth Connect, a digital-first offering backed by human advice from planning experts. Together, IG Wealth Connect and the Dedicated Channel comprise our Corporate Channel with combined assets growing to $6.1 billion at December 31, 2023. The landmark partnership with Rockefeller during the year advances our strategy of expanding our presence in the high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth client segments and presents IG with a strong opportunity for knowledge-sharing and business partnerships between our connected businesses in the future. IGM is also the largest shareholder in Wealthsimple, with an interest of approximately 25%. One of Canada’s fastest-growing and innovative financial services companies, Wealthsimple was named Globe and Mail’s most trusted financial institution among Canadians under 45. The company enjoys a dominant position with Millennials and is a complement to our core wealth management business. Our efforts to provide advisors and clients with superior advice, personalized financial planning tools and industry-leading services and solutions earned us renewed accolades in 2023 and reflect the high-impact investments we have made to our business. IG finished first among all full-service firms in 10 key categories of Investment Executive’s annual Dealer Report Card, including advisor education, training and support for high-net-worth clients. This was a remarkable achievement in line with our 2022 four-year high in this benchmark industry report and was a testament to our We are confident in our ability to deliver growth and increased value to our shareholders while working to better the lives of Canadians.

Asset management In alignment with our efforts to strengthen our core businesses for sustainable future growth, IGM’s asset management business continued to leverage the most promising markets in the world through its portfolio of strong partners and highly relevant investments. Led by Luke Gould, Mackenzie Investments deepened its bedrock of client trust with a clear purpose. To help crystallize this, it launched Be Invested, a new brand platform that underscores the importance of remaining invested across all market cycles. It is a natural extension of Mackenzie’s mission to create a more invested world together. Performing well in 2023 despite broader market challenges, total AUM was $195.7 billion, compared to $186.6 billion at the end of 2022. Investment fund net redemptions were $2.1 billion and total net redemptions (including institutional) were $1.9 billion in 2023. During the year, Mackenzie continued to advance its ongoing digital transformation through various initiatives. In November, we announced an agreement with CIBC Mellon to provide enhanced asset management capabilities through OnCore, a modern, innovative, and global middle office solution administered by BNY Mellon. As a company known for its desire to build a more sustainable world, Mackenzie also made a number of key product launches in 2023. This includes the Mackenzie Corporate Knights Global 100 Index Fund and Mackenzie Corporate Knights Global 100 Index ETF and the Mackenzie Greenchip USD Global Environmental All Cap Fund, the largest thematic environmental fund in Canada. More generally, Mackenzie also launched the Mackenzie All-Equity ETF Portfolio and Mackenzie USD Global Dividend Fund, along with two new funds in partnership with Primerica Financial Services: Mackenzie FuturePath Shariah Global Equity Fund and Mackenzie FuturePath US Core Fund. The firm’s ongoing commitment to product innovation and excellence saw its dedicated Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) team win recognition as Best US Equity ETF and Best Canadian Equity ETF Issuer at the 2023 ETF Express Canada Awards. During the year, our asset management business strengthened our partnership network through strategic investments that align with our goals of creating a more invested world and building global offerings. To help further this, we expanded our participation in the rapidly growing Chinese asset management industry by acquiring Power Corporation of Canada’s interest in ChinaAMC, increasing our equity interest to 27.8%. With alternative investments accounting for an increasing portion of the global asset management revenue pool, our growing participation in private assets and alternatives in partnership with Northleaf aligns with our mission to drive growth and deliver long-term shareholder value for IGM. Northleaf’s AUM grew to $26.6 billion in 2023, a 10.4% increase over 2022, representing a cumulative annual growth rate of 22.3% since our partnership was formed in late 2020. This approach yielded clear benefits for Mackenzie’s people, advisors and investors. For the first time, Mackenzie made Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work List, an award based solely on the input of employees. Mackenzie also achieved continued strong results in the industry’s annual client scorecard, the 2023 Environics Advisor Perception Study (APS), maintaining its strong APS leadership position among the top three in overall score. These results are all the more impressive given that Mackenzie had to navigate a third-party cyber-security incident during the year and are a testament to the team’s ongoing focus on transparency and always putting the advisor and investor first. Driving positive change During 2023, IGM continued to prioritize initiatives that service and strengthen our businesses, our people and the communities around us through a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), environmental sustainability and engagement with local communities. We continued our transition to a hybrid work environment that will help our people thrive. Finding ways to work together virtually in recent years helped accelerate innovation and flexibility throughout our business, and we will continue to balance the flexible 9 2023 IGM Financial Annual Report2024 and beyond Our deep bench of talent and leadership have executed exceptionally well amid market fluctuations and macroeconomic challenges. We have reengineered our core businesses, IG Wealth Management and Mackenzie Investments, and combined with our four best-in-class partners, Rockefeller, Wealthsimple, ChinaAMC and Northleaf, we are well positioned for future growth. We would like to thank our teams for their hard work in 2023 as they helped to ensure the financial well- being of Canadians. The transformative changes of the last four years have strengthened our ability to compete with global asset managers and allowed our wealth management business to extend its relationships with high-net worth and ultra-high- net-worth clients. Combined with our deep and experienced pool of talent and focus on execution, these changes have reshaped our company and set us on an exciting path to sustained growth. As a values-driven company, IGM will continue to support the growth and career development of our employees and advisors, give back to communities where we live and work and use our influence and capacity as a large financial services company to drive positive social impact and fight climate change. After a time of momentous change and evolution, we are confident in our ability to deliver growth and increased value in the years ahead to our shareholders while working to better the lives of Canadians. On behalf of the Board of Directors, James O’Sullivan R. Jeffrey Orr President and Chief Executive Officer IGM Financial Chair of the Board IGM Financial benefits and efficiency of working virtually while also having a presence in the office. We work hard to be a place where employees across the country feel respected, elevated and valued and give them ample opportunities to develop their careers as we build a culture grounded in DEI. We will continue to build on the progress we have made, embedding an inclusive lens across our business. Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time. We understand we have a role to play in implementing sustainable business practices and investing in a climate-resilient economy. We are committed to the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and have participated in the annual Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) survey since 2013 to disclose our approach to climate change management and associated metrics and targets. Throughout 2023 our Green Business Resource Group made a positive impact in our communities organizing initiatives that resulted in planting 650 trees and a shoreline and parks cleanup across major Canadian cities. As a Canadian company, we know we have a responsibility to be actively involved in the communities in which we live and work. IGM’s annual Giving Campaign, in support of United Way and the Mackenzie Together Charitable Foundation, raised more than $1.6 million and featured record employee participation. Further, through our IG Empower Your Tomorrow community platform, we continued to make an impact in helping build financial confidence among four underserved groups, including Indigenous communities, newcomers, seniors and youth. And during our annual Mackenzie Together Volunteer Week the Mackenzie community came together to donate their time to a variety of charities. Together, these achievements brought us renewed recognition as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers (2024), one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers (2023) and one of Manitoba’s Top Employers (2023) by Mediacorp Canada in its annual ranking of companies that provide an outstanding workplace for their employees.

Our ability to manage these risks is key corporate governance practices. to our ongoing success. The Company emphasizes a strong risk management culture and the implementation of an effective risk management approach. Our approach coordinates risk management across the organization and its business units and seeks to ensure prudent and measured risk-taking in order to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return. Fundamental to our enterprise risk management program is protecting and enhancing our reputation. Risk Management Framework The Company’s risk management approach is undertaken through our comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Framework which is composed of five core elements: risk governance, risk appetite, risk principles, a defined risk management process, and risk management culture. The ERM Framework is established under our ERM Policy, which is approved by the Executive Risk Management Committee. Risk Governance Our risk governance structure emphasizes ownership of risk management in each business unit and oversight by an Executive Risk Management Committee accountable to the Risk Committee of the Board (Risk Committee) and ultimately to the Board of Directors. Additional oversight is provided by the Risk, Compliance and Internal Audit functions. The Risk Committee provides primary oversight and carries out its risk management mandate. The Risk Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in reviewing and overseeing the risk governance structure and risk management program of the Company by: i) ensuring that appropriate procedures are in place to identify and manage risks and establish risk appetite, ii) ensuring that appropriate policies, procedures and controls are implemented to manage risks, and iii) reviewing the risk management process on a regular basis to ensure that it is functioning effectively. Other specific risks are managed with the support of the following Board committees: • The Audit Committee has specific risk oversight • The Related Party and Conduct Review Committee oversees conflicts of interest. Management oversight for risk management resides with the Executive Risk Management Committee which is comprised of the Chief Executive Officers of IGM Financial, IG Wealth Management and Mackenzie Investments, the Chief Financial Officer, the General Counsel, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Human Resources Officer, and the Chief Risk Officer, who reports to the Chief Executive Officer of IGM Financial. The committee is responsible for oversight of IGM Financial’s risk management process by: i) establishing and maintaining the risk framework and policy; ii) defining the risk appetite; iii) ensuring our risk profile and processes are aligned with corporate strategy and risk appetite; and iv) establishing “tone at the top” and reinforcing a strong culture of risk management. The Chief Executive Officers of the operating companies have overall responsibility for overseeing risk management of their respective companies. The Company has assigned responsibility for risk management using the Three Lines of Defence model, with the First Line reflecting the business units having primary responsibility for risk management, supported by Second Line risk management functions and a Third Line (the Internal Audit function) providing assurance and validation of the design and effectiveness of the ERM Framework. First Line of Defence The leaders of the various business units and support functions have primary ownership and accountability for the ongoing risk management associated with their respective activities. Responsibilities of business unit and support function leaders include: i) establishing and maintaining procedures for the identification, assessment, documentation and escalation of risks, ii) implementing control activities to mitigate risks, iii) identifying opportunities for risk reduction or transfer, and iv) aligning business and operational strategies with the risk culture and risk appetite of the organization as established by the Executive Risk Management Committee. responsibilities in relation to financial disclosure, internal Second Line of Defence controls and the control environment as well as our The Risk function, overseen by the Chief Risk Officer, provides compliance activities, including administration of the Code of Conduct. oversight, analysis and reporting to the Executive Risk Management Committee on the level of risks relative to the • The Human Resource Committee oversees human resources and talent practices and policies including compensation. established risk appetite for all activities of the Company.

The Risk function regularly reports on the results of risk assessments and on the assessment process to the Executive Risk Management Committee and to the Risk Committee. Third Line of Defence The Internal Audit function is the third line of defence and provides independent assurance to senior management and the Board of Directors on the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management policies, processes and practices. Risk Appetite Risk Management Culture Risk management is everyone’s responsibility within the organization. The Risk function engages all business units in risk workshops and surveys to foster awareness and to incorporate our risk framework into business activities. We have an established business planning process which The Executive Risk Management Committee establishes the reinforces our risk management culture. Our compensation Company’s appetite for different types of risk through the Risk programs are typically objectives-based, do not encourage or Appetite Framework. Under the Risk Appetite Framework, one of reward excessive or inappropriate risk taking, and often are four appetite levels is established for each risk type and business aligned specifically with risk management objectives. activity of the Company. These appetite levels range from those where the Company has no appetite for risk and seeks to minimize any losses, to those where the Company readily accepts exposure while seeking to ensure that risks are well understood and managed. These appetite levels guide our business units as they engage in business activities, and inform them in establishing policies, limits, controls and risk transfer activities. The Risk Appetite Framework facilitates the alignment Our risk management program emphasizes integrity, ethical practices, responsible management and measured risk-taking with a long-term view. Our standards of integrity and ethics are reflected within our Code of Conduct which applies to directors, officers and employees.

Risk Management Process The Company’s risk management process is designed to foster: • Ongoing assessment of risks and tolerance in a changing operating environment. Risks are identified based on our established methodology, considering factors both internal and external to the organization. These risks are broadly grouped into three categories: financial, operational, and strategic and business. • Appropriate identification and understanding of existing and 1) Financial Risk emerging risks and risk response. • Timely monitoring and escalation of risks based upon changing circumstances. Significant risks that may adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic and business objectives are identified through the Company’s ongoing risk management process. We use a consistent methodology across our organizations and business units for identification and assessment of risks. This is the risk of financial loss related to AUM&A and advisement, liquidity and funding risk, credit risk, or market risk. Risks Related to AUM&A At December 31, 2023, IGM Financial’s AUM&A were $240.2 billion compared to $224.2 billion at December 31, 2022. 72 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

However, as required by the NHA MBS program, 100% of the loans are insured by an approved insurer. • Credit risk for mortgages securitized by transfer to bank- sponsored securitization trusts totalling $2.3 billion (2022 – $2.1 billion) is limited to amounts held in cash reserve accounts and future net interest income, the fair values of Derivatives The Company is exposed to credit risk through derivative contracts it utilizes to hedge interest rate risk, to facilitate securitization transactions and to hedge market risk related to certain stock-based compensation arrangements.

Counterparties are all Canadian Schedule I chartered banks and, as a result, management has determined that the Company’s overall credit risk related to derivatives was not significant at December 31, 2023. Management of credit risk related to derivatives has not changed materially since The Company also retains certain elements of credit risk December 31, 2022. on mortgage loans sold to the IG Mackenzie Mortgage and Short-Term Income Fund through an agreement to repurchase mortgages in certain circumstances benefiting the funds.

Additional information related to the Company’s securitization activities and utilization of derivative contracts can be found in Notes 2, 7, 8 and 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Market Risk The Company regularly reviews the credit quality of the mortgages and the adequacy of the allowance for expected credit losses.

The Company enters into interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk related to funding costs for mortgages held by the Company pending sale or securitization. Hedge accounting is applied to the cost of funds on certain securitization activities. The effective portion of fair value changes of the associated interest rate swaps are initially recognized in Other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in Wealth Management revenue over the term of the related Obligations to securitization entities. The fair value of these swaps was negative $1.1 million (December 31, 2022 – positive $4.7 million) on an outstanding notional amount of $181.5 million at December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – $191.6 million). As at December 31, 2023, the impact to annual net earnings of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have been an increase of approximately $0.5 million (December 31, 2022 – decrease of $1.7 million). The Company’s exposure to and management of interest rate risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2022. Equity Price Risk IGM Financial is exposed to equity price risk on our equity investments which are classified as either fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, and on our investments in associates, which are accounted for using the equity method. The fair value of the other investments was $0.9 billion at December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – $0.8 billion), as shown in Table 22, and the carrying value of the investment in associates was $3.7 billion at December 31, 2023 (December 31, 2022 – $2.1 billion). The Company’s proportionate share of ChinaAMC’s and Rockefeller’s earnings, recorded in Proportionate share of associates’ earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, is also affected by changes in foreign exchange rates. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the impact to net earnings of a 5% appreciation (depreciation) in Canadian currency relative to foreign currencies would decrease (increase) the Company’s proportionate share of associates’ earnings by approximately $4.9 million ($5.4 million). 2) Operational Risk This is the risk of financial loss, reputational damage or regulatory actions resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human interaction or external events. We are exposed to a broad range of operational risks, including information security and system failures, errors relating to transaction processing, financial models and valuations, failure of key third parties, fraud and misappropriation of assets, and inadequate application of internal control processes. Operational risks relating to people and processes are mitigated through policies and process controls. Oversight of risks and ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of controls is provided by the Company’s Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit functions. The Company’s insurance governance process includes oversight by the Insurance Steering Committee and senior executives. As part of this process, the nature and extent of the Company’s insurance is regularly reviewed to ensure coverage remains appropriate and complies with relevant laws, regulations, and contractual agreements. The business unit leaders are responsible for management of the day to day operational risks of their respective business units. Specific programs, policies, training, standards and governance processes have been developed to help manage operational risk. 77 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

The Company We regularly engage third parties to provide expertise and and its subsidiaries are subject to reviews as part of the normal efficiencies that support our operational activities. Our exposure to third party risk could include reputational, regulatory and other operational risks. Policies, standard operating procedures and dedicated resources, including a supplier code of conduct and material outsourcing policy, have been developed and implemented to specifically address third party risk. We perform due diligence and monitoring activities before entering into contractual relationships with third parties and on an ongoing basis. As our reliance on third parties continues to grow, we continue to enhance resources and processes to support third party risk management. Model Risk This is the risk of financial loss or reputational harm resulting from conclusions and decisions based on incorrect or misused models. We use a variety of models to assist in: the valuation of financial instruments, operational scenario testing, management of cash flows, capital management, and assessment of potential acquisitions. These models incorporate internal assumptions, observable market inputs and available market prices. Effective controls exist over the development, implementation and application of these models. However, changes in the internal assumptions or other factors affecting the models could have an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and reputation. ongoing process of oversight by the various regulators.

The Company also continues to develop and maintain compliance policies, processes and oversight, including specific communications on compliance and legal matters, training, testing, monitoring and reporting. The Audit Committee of the Board receives regular reporting on compliance initiatives and issues.

Annual Report3) Strategic and Business Risk This is the risk of potential adverse impacts resulting from factors in the external environment or related to the strategy or specific business activities of the Company. General Business Conditions This risk refers to the potential for unfavourable impacts on IGM Financial resulting from competitive or other external factors relating to the marketplace. Global economic conditions, changes in equity markets, inflation and demographics can affect investor confidence, income levels and savings. In addition, geopolitical risk, government instability and other factors can influence inflation, interest rates, global economic growth, and business conditions in markets in which the Company operates. These environments could result in reduced sales of IGM Financial’s products and services and/or result in investors redeeming their investments. These factors may also affect the level and volatility of financial markets and the value of the Company’s AUM, as described more fully under the Risks Related to AUM&A section of this MD&A. To manage this risk, the Company, across its operating subsidiaries, communicates with clients and underscores the importance of financial planning across economic cycles. The Company and the industry continue to take steps to educate Canadian investors on the merits of financial planning, diversification and long-term investing. In periods of volatility, Wealth Management advisors and independent financial advisors play a key role in assisting investors in maintaining perspective and focus on their long-term objectives. Redemption rates for long-term funds are summarized in Table 32 and are discussed in the Wealth Management and governance is essential to the well-being of the Company and our shareholders. Oversight of IGM Financial is performed by the Board of Directors directly and through its five committees. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer has overall responsibility for management of the Company. The Company’s activities are carried out principally by two operating companies – Investors Group Inc., and Mackenzie Financial Corporation – each of which are managed by a President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company also has a strategy execution oversight function and committee that reviews and approves strategic initiative business cases and oversees progress against our strategic priorities and objectives. The President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in collaboration with the Board of Directors, is responsible each year to develop, review and update the Company’s strategic plan. The strategic plan sets out both the annual and longer-term objectives for the Company in light of emerging opportunities and risks and with a view to the Company’s sustained profitable growth and long-term value creation. The Board is responsible for approving the Company’s overall business strategy. In carrying out this responsibility, the Board reviews the short-, medium- and long-term risks associated with the strategic plan, considers the strengths and potential weaknesses of trends and opportunities, and approves the Company’s annual business, financial and capital management plans. A portion of each Board meeting is dedicated to discussion of strategic matters including receiving updates on the progress and implementation of the strategic plan.

We believe that sound corporate IGM Financial resulting from inadequate product or service performance, quality or breadth. IGM Financial and its subsidiaries operate in a highly competitive environment, competing with other financial service providers, investment managers and product and service types.

Meaningful and/ or sustained underperformance could affect the Company’s results. Our objective is to cultivate investment processes and disciplines that give us a competitive advantage, and we do this by diversifying our AUM and product shelf by investment team, brand, asset class, mandate, style and geographic region. Business / Client Relationships This risk refers to the potential for unfavourable impacts on IGM Financial resulting from changes to key business or client relationships. These relationships primarily include IG Wealth Management clients and advisors, Mackenzie retail distribution, strategic and significant business partners, clients of Mackenzie funds, and sub-advisors and other product suppliers. IG Wealth Management derives all of its investment fund sales, insurance sales, and mortgage and banking sales through its advisor network. IG Wealth Management advisors have regular direct contact with clients which can lead to a strong and personal client relationship based on the client’s confidence in that individual advisor. The market for advisors is extremely competitive. The loss of a significant number of key advisors could lead to the loss of client accounts which could have an adverse effect on IG Wealth Management’s results of operations and business prospects, as well as our culture and ability to attract key advisors. IG Wealth Management is focused on strengthening its distribution network of advisors and on responding to the complex financial needs of its clients by delivering a diverse range of products and services in the context of personalized financial advice. Mackenzie derives the majority of its mutual fund sales through third party financial advisors. Financial advisors generally offer their clients investment products in addition to, and in competition with Mackenzie. Mackenzie also derives sales of its investment products and services from its strategic alliance and institutional clients. Due to the nature of the Regulatory Development Risk This is the potential for changes to regulatory, legal, or tax requirements that may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business activities or financial results. We are exposed to the risk of changes in laws, taxation and regulation that could have an adverse impact on the Company. Particular regulatory initiatives may have the effect of making the products of the Company’s subsidiaries appear to be less competitive than the products of other financial service providers, to third party distribution channels and to clients. Regulatory differences that may impact the competitiveness of the Company’s products include regulatory costs, tax treatment, disclosure requirements, transaction processes or other differences that may be as a result of differing regulation or application of regulation. Regulatory developments may also impact product structures, pricing, and dealer and advisor compensation. In July, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) initiated a work plan for the fee reform of the mutual fund industry, which the CSRC has indicated is designed to continue to promote the high-quality development of the Chinese investment fund industry. Concurrently, ChinaAMC announced fee reductions on certain mutual funds. These reductions reduce the revenues of ChinaAMC and impact the earnings that IGM Financial recognizes related to its investment in ChinaAMC. These changes are not expected to be material to IGM Financial. We believe these changes will help encourage broader participation of retail and institutional investors in the development of a fast growing industry. While the Company and its subsidiaries actively monitor such initiatives, and where feasible comment upon or discuss them with regulators, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to mitigate the imposition of differential regulatory treatment of financial products or services is limited. 81 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

The success of an acquisition and of the Company’s strategic investments is dependent on retaining AUM, clients, and key employees of an acquired company. Natural or Human Caused Disasters This is the risk that events such as earthquakes, floods, fire, tornadoes, pandemics, or terrorism could adversely affect the Company’s financial performance. Catastrophic events can cause economic uncertainty, affect investor confidence, income levels and financial planning decisions. This could affect the level and volatility of financial markets and the level of the Company’s AUM&A.

Our climate-related risks and opportunities can be grouped into the physical impacts of climate change and the impacts related to the transition to a low-carbon economy. Risks Our climate risks relate primarily to the potential for physical or transition risks to: negatively affect the performance of our clients’ investments, resulting in reduced fee revenue; harm our reputation; create market risks through shifts in product demand; or lead to new regulatory, legal or disclosure requirements that could affect our business.

Scenarios We have implemented tools for our investment funds to enhance our quantitative assessment of climate risks by analyzing emissions and other climate-related information at the investee company, asset class and portfolio levels. This system enables us to model potential transition pathways and track our portfolios against the goal of limiting global warming to 2°C above pre-industrial levels and examine the adequacy of emissions reductions over time in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. We are exploring scenario analysis tools with external data providers to support us in our efforts to run climate-related scenario analysis across our business.

Annual ReportCritical Accounting Estimates and Policies Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying accounting policies and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. In applying these policies, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Many of these policies are common in the financial services industry; others are specific to IGM Financial’s businesses and operations. IGM Financial’s significant accounting policies are described in detail in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Critical accounting estimates relate to the fair value of financial instruments, goodwill and intangibles, income taxes, capitalized sales commissions, provisions and employee benefits. The major critical accounting estimates are summarized below: • Fair value of financial instruments – The Company’s financial instruments are carried at fair value, except for loans, deposits and certificates, obligations to securitization entities, and long-term debt which are all carried at whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. These tests involve the use of estimates and assumptions appropriate in the circumstances. In assessing the recoverable amounts, valuation approaches are used that include discounted cash flow analysis and application of capitalization multiples to financial and operating metrics based upon precedent acquisition transactions and trading comparables. Assumptions and estimates employed include future changes in AUM resulting from net sales and investment returns, pricing and profit margin changes, discount rates, and capitalization multiples. The Company completed its annual impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets as at April 1, 2023 financial information and determined there was no impairment in the value of those assets. • Income taxes – The provision for income taxes is determined on the basis of the anticipated tax treatment of transactions recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The determination of the provision for income taxes requires interpretation of tax legislation in a number of jurisdictions. Tax planning may allow the Company to record lower income taxes in the current year and income taxes recorded in amortized cost. The fair value of publicly traded financial prior years may be adjusted in the current year to reflect instruments is determined using published market prices. management’s best estimates of the overall adequacy The fair value of financial instruments where published of its provisions. Any related tax benefits or changes in market prices are not available, including Corporate investments and derivatives related to the Company’s management’s best estimates are reflected in the provision for income taxes. The recognition of deferred tax assets securitized loans, are determined using various valuation depends on management’s assumption that future earnings models which maximize the use of observable market inputs will be sufficient to realize the future benefit.

Valuation methodologies and assumptions of the deferred tax asset or liability recorded is based on used in valuation models are reviewed on an ongoing basis. management’s best estimate of the timing of the realization Changes in these assumptions or valuation methodologies of the assets or liabilities. If our interpretation of tax could result in significant changes in net earnings. • Goodwill and intangible assets – Goodwill, indefinite life intangible assets, and definite life intangible assets are reflected in Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company tests the fair value of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment at least legislation differs from that of the tax authorities or if timing of reversals is not as anticipated, the provision for income taxes could increase or decrease in future periods. Additional information related to income taxes is included in the Summary of Consolidated Operating Results in this MD&A and in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. once a year and more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates the asset may be impaired.

The recoverable amount is and amortized over a maximum period of seven years. the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and The Company regularly reviews the carrying value of its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, capitalized sales commissions with respect to any events assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there or circumstances that indicate impairment. Among the are separately identifiable cash inflows (cash generating tests performed by the Company to assess recoverability units). Finite life intangible assets are tested for impairment is the comparison of the future economic benefits derived 88 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

At December 31, 2023, there were no accrued benefit asset of $86.8 million at December 31, 2022. indications of impairment to capitalized sales commissions. Actuarial gains or losses recorded in Other comprehensive • Provisions – A provision is recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of a past transaction or event, it is “probable” that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation. In determining the best estimate for a provision, a single estimate, a weighted average of all possible outcomes, or the midpoint where there is a range of equally possible outcomes are all considered. A significant change in assessment of the likelihood or the best estimate may result in additional adjustments to net earnings. • Employee benefits – The Company maintains a number of employee benefit plans. These plans include a funded registered defined benefit pension plan (RPP) for all eligible employees, unfunded supplementary executive retirement income, including the defined benefit pension plan, the SERPs and post-employment benefit plans, were losses of $25.1 million ($18.4 million after tax) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. A decrease of 0.25% in the discount rate utilized in 2023 would result in a change of $20.4 million in the accrued pension obligation, $18.5 million in other comprehensive income, and $1.9 million in pension expense. Additional information regarding the Company’s accounting and sensitivities related to pensions and other post-retirement benefits is included in Notes 2 and 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in Accounting Policies plans for certain executive officers (SERPs) and an unfunded IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17) post-employment health care and life insurance plan for eligible retirees. The funded registered defined benefit pension plan provides pensions based on length of service and final average earnings. The measurement date for the Company’s defined benefit pension plan assets and for the accrued benefit obligations on all defined benefit plans is December 31. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, the calculation of the accrued benefit asset or liability depends on various assumptions including discount rates, rates of return on assets, the level and types of benefits provided, healthcare cost trend rates, projected salary increases, retirement age, mortality and termination rates. The discount rate assumption is determined using a yield curve of AA corporate debt securities. All other assumptions are determined by management and reviewed by independent actuaries who calculate the pension and other future benefits expenses and accrued benefit obligations. Actual experience that differs from the actuarial assumptions will result in actuarial gains or losses as well as changes in benefits expense. The Company records actuarial gains and losses on all of its defined benefit plans in Other comprehensive income. Discount rates have decreased since December 31, 2022. The discount rate on the Company’s RPP at December 31, 2023 was 4.65% compared to 5.25% at December 31, 2022. The pension plan assets increased to $536.0 million at December 31, 2023 from $510.7 million at December 31, 2022 due to market appreciation. The total defined benefit pension plan obligation increased to $474.4 million at December 31, 2023 from $423.9 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to the decrease in the discount rate. The defined benefit pension plan had an accrued benefit The IASB issued IFRS 17 which sets out the requirements for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of insurance contracts a company issues, reinsurance contracts it holds, and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. IFRS 17 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Entities adopting IFRS 17 had the option to defer adoption of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (IFRS 9). Adoption of these standards affected the accounting for the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Lifeco and the amount that the Company records for its proportionate share of associate’s earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Lifeco disclosed that the adoption of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 was expected to decrease its total equity by $3.4 billion as at January 1, 2022. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying value of its investment in Lifeco and retained earnings, at January 1, 2022, by $136 million to reflect its proportionate share of Lifeco’s estimated decrease to total equity. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company revised its estimate, on a prospective basis, using the final Lifeco disclosed impact of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 by decreasing the gain on sale of Lifeco shares by $6.2 million and increasing the proportionate share of associate’s earnings by $15.1 million. Additional information of the impact on Lifeco is available in its public disclosures. IAS 12 – Income Taxes The Company adopted the amendments to IFRS for IAS 12 – Income Taxes effective May 2023 and has applied the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). 89 Management's Discussion and Analysis | 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

Annual ReportManagement’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting The Consolidated Financial Statements of IGM Financial Inc. have been prepared by Management, which is responsible for the integrity, objectivity and reliability of the information presented, including selecting appropriate accounting principles and making judgments and estimates. These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Financial information presented elsewhere in this Annual Report is consistent with that in the Consolidated Financial Statements for comparable periods. Systems of internal control and supporting procedures are maintained to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of financial information and the safeguarding of all assets controlled by the Company. These controls and supporting procedures include quality standards in hiring and training employees, the establishment of organizational structures providing a well-defined division of responsibilities and accountability for performance, and the communication of policies and guidelines through the organization. Internal controls are reviewed and evaluated extensively by the internal auditor and are subject to scrutiny by the external auditors. Ultimate responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements rests with the Board of Directors. The Board is assisted in discharging this responsibility by an Audit Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors. This Committee reviews the Consolidated Financial Statements and recommends them for approval by the Board. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews the recommendations of the internal auditor and the external auditors for improvements in internal control and the action of Management to implement such recommendations. In carrying out its duties and responsibilities, the Committee meets regularly with Management and with both the internal auditor and the external auditors to review the scope and timing of their respective audits, to review their findings and to satisfy itself that their responsibilities have been properly discharged. Deloitte LLP, independent auditors appointed by the shareholders, have examined the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, and have expressed their opinion upon the completion of their examination in their Report to the Shareholders. The external auditors have full and free access to the Audit Committee to discuss their audit and related findings. James O’Sullivan President and Chief Executive Officer Keith Potter Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer 93 Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual ReportIndependent Auditor’s Report To the Shareholders of IGM Financial Inc. Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of IGM Financial Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards (“Canadian GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters A key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter. Other investments – Wealthsimple Financial Corp. (“Wealthsimple”) — Refer to Notes 2, 6 and 25 to the financial statements Key Audit Matter Description The Company’s Other investments balance includes an equity investment in Wealthsimple, which is recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income. Given that Wealthsimple is a private company, significant management judgment is required in the determination of the fair value of the investment. In determining fair value, a market approach using observable valuation metrics, including revenue multiples, and a discounted cash flow analysis were considered by management. Significant management judgment was required in determining the most appropriate valuation approaches and inputs used in each, including revenue multiples applied in the market approach. Auditing the fair value of Wealthsimple required a high degree of auditor judgment which resulted in an increased extent of audit effort, including the use of fair value specialists. 94 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Consolidated Financial StatementsHow the Key Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit With the assistance of fair value specialists, our audit procedures related to the fair value of Wealthsimple included the following, among others: • We evaluated the appropriateness of fair value approaches and developed independent fair value estimates using an independent market approach by analyzing comparable public company revenue multiples and using revenue and financial forecasts provided to the Company by Wealthsimple. • We evaluated relevant internal and external information, including industry information, and assessed the reasonability of unobservable inputs in instances where these inputs were more subjective. • We compared the independent fair value estimate to management’s fair value estimate. • We independently performed a retrospective evaluation and analyzed Wealthsimple’s financial performance using revenue and financial forecasts provided to the Company by Wealthsimple in order to determine the impact on the fair value determination. • We evaluated other available information and considered whether this information corroborated or contradicted the Company’s conclusions. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises: • Management’s Discussion and Analysis • The information, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We obtained Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor’s report. If, based on the work we will perform on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact to those charged with governance. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. 95 Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual ReportAuditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is David Dalziel. Chartered Professional Accountants Winnipeg, Manitoba February 15, 2024 96 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

Annual ReportNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2023 and 2022 (In thousands of Canadian dollars, except shares and per share amounts) Note 1. Corporate information IGM Financial Inc. (the Company) is a publicly listed company (TSX: IGM), incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The registered address of the Company is 447 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The Company is controlled by Power Corporation of Canada (Power). IGM Financial Inc. is a wealth and asset management company which serves the financial needs of Canadians through its principal subsidiaries, each operating distinctly within the advice segment of the financial services market. The Company’s wholly-owned principal subsidiaries are Investors Group Inc. and Mackenzie Financial Corporation (Mackenzie). Note 2. Summary of material accounting policies The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The policies set out below were consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise noted. Use of judgment, estimates and assumptions The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying accounting policies and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The key areas where judgment has been applied include: the determination of which financial assets should be derecognized; the assessment of the appropriate classification of financial instruments, including those classified as fair value through profit or loss; and the assessment that significant influence exists for its investment in associates. Key components of the financial statements requiring management to make estimates include: the fair value of financial instruments, goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, capitalized sales commissions, provisions and employee benefits. Actual results may differ from such estimates. Further detail of judgments and estimates are found in the remainder of Note 2 and in Notes 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 25. Basis of consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. Subsidiaries are entities the Company controls when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. The Company’s investments in Great-West Lifeco Inc. (Lifeco), China Asset Management Co., Ltd. (ChinaAMC), Rockefeller Capital Management (Rockefeller), and Northleaf Capital Group Ltd. (Northleaf) are accounted for using the equity method. The investments were initially recorded at cost and the carrying amounts are increased or decreased to recognize the Company’s share of the investments’ comprehensive income (loss) and the dividends received since the date of acquisition. Changes in accounting policies IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17) The IASB issued IFRS 17 which sets out the requirements for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of insurance contracts a company issues, reinsurance contracts it holds, and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. IFRS 17 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Entities adopting IFRS 17 had the option to defer adoption of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (IFRS 9). Adoption of these standards affected the accounting for the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Lifeco and the amount that the Company records for its proportionate share of associate’s earnings. In 2022, Lifeco disclosed that the adoption of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 was expected to decrease its total equity by $3.4 billion as at January 1, 102 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements2022. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying value of its investment in Lifeco and retained earnings, at January 1, 2022, by $136 million to reflect its proportionate share of Lifeco’s estimated decrease to total equity. In 2023, the Company revised its estimate, on a prospective basis, using the final Lifeco disclosed impact of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, by decreasing the gain on sale of Lifeco shares by $6.2 million and increasing the proportionate share of associate’s earnings by $15.1 million. Additional information of the impact on Lifeco is available in its public disclosures. Retained earnings at January 1, 2022 and 2023 also include an increase of $2.4 million, net of tax, due to other items. IAS 12 – Income Taxes The Company adopted the amendments to IFRS for IAS 12 – Income Taxes effective May 2023 and has applied the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two model rules published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Revenue recognition Wealth management revenue is earned for providing financial planning, investment advisory and related financial services. Revenues from financial advisory fees and investment management and related administration fees are based on the net asset value of investment funds or other assets under advisement and are accrued as services are performed. Distribution revenue associated with insurance and banking products and services are also recognized on an accrual basis while distribution fees derived from investment fund and securities transactions are recognized on a trade date basis. Asset management revenue related to investment management advisory and administrative services is based on the net asset value of investment funds and other assets under management and is accrued as services are performed. Financial instruments All financial assets are initially recognized at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subsequently classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or amortized cost based on the Company’s assessment of the business model within which the financial asset is managed and the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model of holding financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows and those cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if the financial asset is held within a business model of both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets or through an irrevocable election for equity instruments that are not held for trading. All other financial assets are measured at FVTPL. A financial asset that would otherwise be measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI can be designated as FVTPL through an irrevocable election if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. Financial assets can only be reclassified when there is a change to the business model within which they are managed. Such reclassifications are applied on a prospective basis. Financial liabilities are classified either as measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or as FVTPL, which are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on financial assets classified as FVTOCI as well as other comprehensive income amounts, including unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses related to the Company’s investment in its associates, are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income on a net of tax basis. Accumulated other comprehensive income forms part of Shareholders’ equity. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and temporary investments consisting of highly liquid investments with short-term maturities. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis in Net investment income and other in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. 103 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual ReportOther investments Other investments, which are recorded on a trade date basis, are classified as either FVTOCI or FVTPL. The Company has elected to classify certain equity investments that are not held for trading as FVTOCI. Unrealized gains and losses on these FVTOCI investments are recorded in Other comprehensive income and transferred directly to retained earnings when realized without being recorded through profit or loss. Dividends declared are recorded in Net investment income and other in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. FVTPL investments are held for trading and are comprised of fixed income and equity investments and investments in proprietary investment funds. Unrealized and realized gains and losses, dividends declared, and interest income on these investments are recorded in Net investment income and other in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Loans Loans are classified as either FVTPL or amortized cost, based on the Company’s assessment of the business model within which the loan is managed. Revenues from mortgage activities are included in Wealth management revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Changes in fair value of loans measured at FVTPL are recorded in Wealth management revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Loans measured at amortized cost are recorded net of an allowance for expected credit losses. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis using the effective interest method for all loans and is recorded in Wealth management revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company applies a three-stage impairment approach to measure expected credit losses on loans: 1) On origination, an allowance for 12-month expected credit losses is established, 2) Lifetime expected credit losses are recognized where there is a significant deterioration of credit quality, and 3) A loan is considered credit impaired when there is no longer reasonable assurance of collection. Derecognition The Company enters into transactions where it transfers financial assets recognized on its balance sheet. The determination of whether the financial assets are derecognized is based on the extent to which the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. The gains or losses and the servicing fee revenue for financial assets that are derecognized are reported in Wealth management revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The transactions for financial assets that are not derecognized are accounted for as secured financing transactions. Sales commissions Commissions are paid on investment product sales where the Company either receives a fee directly from the client or where it receives a fee directly from the investment fund. Commissions paid on investment product sales where the Company earns fees from a client are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives, not exceeding a period of seven years. The Company regularly reviews the carrying value of capitalized selling commissions with respect to any events or circumstances that indicate impairment. Among the tests performed by the Company to assess recoverability is the comparison of the future economic benefits derived from the capitalized selling commission asset in relation to its carrying value. All other commissions paid on investment product sales are expensed as incurred. Capital assets Capital assets are comprised of Property and equipment and Right-of-use assets. Property and equipment Buildings, furnishings and equipment are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 17 years for equipment and furnishings and 10 to 50 years for the building and its components. Capital assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 104 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsRight-of-use assets A right-of-use asset representing the Company’s property leases is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term and is recorded in Advisory and business development and Operations and support expenses. Leases For contracts that contain a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Imputed interest on the lease liability is recorded in Interest expense. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprises fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable payments that depend on an index or a rate, and payments or penalties for terminating the lease, if any. The lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is applied to portfolios of leases with reasonably similar characteristics. The Company does not recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases that, at commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company recognizes the payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Goodwill and intangible assets The Company tests the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment at least once a year and more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized if the amount of the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal or its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows (cash generating units). Investment fund management contracts have been assessed to have an indefinite useful life as the contractual right to manage the assets has no fixed term. Trade names have been assessed to have an indefinite useful life as they contribute to the revenues of the Company’s integrated asset management business as a whole and the Company intends to utilize them for the foreseeable future. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Software assets are amortized over a period not exceeding 7 years and distribution and other management contracts are amortized over a period not exceeding 20 years. Finite life intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Employee benefits The Company maintains a number of employee benefit plans including defined benefit plans and defined contribution pension plans for eligible employees. These plans are related parties in accordance with IFRS. The Company’s defined benefit plans include a funded defined benefit pension plan for eligible employees, unfunded supplementary executive retirement plans (SERP) for certain executive officers, and an unfunded post-employment health care, dental and life insurance plan for eligible retirees. The defined benefit pension plan provides pensions based on length of service and final average earnings. The cost of the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method prorated on service based upon management’s assumptions about discount rates, compensation increases, retirement ages of employees, mortality and expected health care costs. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of the pension asset. The Company’s accrued benefit asset or liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by discounting the amount of the benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in current and prior periods and deducting the fair value of any plan assets. The Company determines the net interest component of the pension expense for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the accrued benefit asset or liability at the beginning of the annual period to the net accrued benefit asset or liability. The discount rate used to value assets or liabilities is determined using a yield curve of AA corporate debt securities. 105 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual ReportIf the plan benefits are changed, or a plan is curtailed, any past service costs or curtailment gains or losses are recognized immediately in net earnings. Current service costs, past service costs and curtailment gains or losses are included in Operations and support expenses. Remeasurements arising from defined benefit plans represent actuarial gains and losses and the actual return on plan assets, less interest calculated at the discount rate. Remeasurements are recognized immediately through Other comprehensive income (OCI) and are not reclassified to net earnings. The accrued benefit asset represents the surplus related to defined benefit pension plan and is included in Other assets. The accrued benefit liability represents the deficit of the SERPs and post-employment health care plan and is included in Other liabilities. Payments to the defined contribution pension plans are expensed as incurred. Share-based payments The Company uses the fair value based method to account for stock options granted to employees. The fair value of stock options is determined on each grant date. Compensation expense is recognized over the period that the stock options vest, with a corresponding increase in Contributed surplus. When stock options are exercised, the proceeds together with the amount recorded in Contributed surplus are added to Share capital. The Company recognizes a liability for cash settled awards including those granted under the Performance Share Unit, Restricted Share Unit and Deferred Share Unit plans. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period, net of related hedges. The liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting period. Provisions A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation where a reliable estimate can be made, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. Income taxes The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases and tax loss carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates which are anticipated to be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing Net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings per share is determined using the same method as basic earnings per share except that the average number of common shares outstanding includes the potential dilutive effect of outstanding stock options granted by the Company as determined by the treasury stock method. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company in the management of equity price and interest rate risks. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. The Company formally documents all hedging relationships, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets or to anticipated future transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative financial instruments specifically designated as a hedge and meeting the criteria for hedge effectiveness offset the changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. A hedge is designated either as a cash flow hedge or a fair value hedge. A cash 106 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsflow hedge requires the change in fair value of the derivative, to the extent effective, to be recorded in Other comprehensive income, which is reclassified to the Consolidated Statements of Earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of the derivative in a cash flow hedge is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. A fair value hedge requires the change in fair value of the hedging derivative and the change in fair value of the hedged item relating to the hedged risk to both be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company enters into interest rate swaps as part of its mortgage banking and intermediary operations. These swap agreements require the periodic exchange of net interest payments without the exchange of the notional principal amount on which the payments are based. Swaps entered into to hedge the costs of funds on certain securitization activities are designated as hedging instruments (Note 24). The effective portion of changes in fair value are initially recorded in Other comprehensive income and subsequently recorded in Wealth management revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings over the term of the associated Obligations to securitization entities. Remaining mortgage related swaps are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value are recorded directly in Wealth management revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company also enters into total return swaps and forward agreements to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the total return of its common shares related to deferred compensation arrangements. Total return swap and forward agreements require the exchange of net contractual payments periodically or at maturity without the exchange of the notional principal amounts on which the payments are based. Certain of these derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value are recorded in Operations and support expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Derivatives continue to be utilized on a basis consistent with the risk management policies of the Company and are monitored by the Company for effectiveness as economic hedges even if specific hedge accounting requirements are not met. Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Future accounting changes The Company continuously monitors changes proposed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and analyzes the effect that changes in the standards may have on the Company’s operations. Note 3. Discontinued operations On November 30, 2023, the Company completed the sale of 100% of Investment Planning Counsel Inc. (IPC) to The Canada Life Assurance Company (Canada Life) for proceeds of $575 million plus adjustments. Canada Life is a subsidiary of the Company’s affiliate, Lifeco, which is a subsidiary of Power. In accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the operating results and cash flows of IPC have been classified as discontinued operations within the Wealth Management segment. During 2023, Schedule I Canadian chartered banks provided the Company with a non-revolving credit facility related to the sale of IPC. The Company drew on the facility during 2023 and repaid the balance prior to the close of the IPC sale. Interest rates on the credit facility fluctuated with Canadian bankers’ acceptances and the interest expense was recorded as part of discontinued operations in the Statements of Earnings. As at November 30, 2023, IPC’s total assets were $692.6 million, including $30.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, and total liabilities were $345.7 million. 107 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

(Wealthsimple), and Portag3 Ventures LP, Portag3 Ventures II LP and Portage Ventures III LP (Portage). Portage is an early-stage investment fund dedicated to backing innovating financial services companies. Portage is controlled by Power. The total fair value of Corporate investments of $721.4 million (2022 – $602.6 million) is presented net of certain costs incurred within the limited partnership structures holding the underlying investments. Investment in Wealthsimple Wealthsimple Financial Corp. (Wealthsimple) is a financial company that provides simple digital tools for growing and managing your money. The Company’s investment in Wealthsimple is held through a limited partnership controlled by Power. The investment is classified at fair value through other comprehensive income. IGM Financial Inc. holds directly and indirectly a 24.7% interest in Wealthsimple (2022 – 24.3%) valued at $607 million at December 31, 2023 (2022 – $492 million). This change is largely due to a fair value increase of 20% and an incremental investment during the year. The increase in fair value is consistent with the increase in public market peer valuations, as well as Wealthsimple’s business performance and revised revenue expectations. Fair value is determined by using observable transactions in the investments’ securities where available, discounted cash flows, and other valuation metrics, including revenue multiples used in the valuation of comparable public companies. In 2022, realized gains of $27.8 million ($24.0 million after-tax) related to Other investments were transferred from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Other retained earnings. 109 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual ReportFair value through profit or loss Proprietary investment funds The Company manages and provides services and earns management and administration fees, in respect of investment funds that are not recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As at December 31, 2023, there were $169.6 billion in investment fund assets under management (2022 – $158.9 billion). The Company’s investments in proprietary investment funds are classified on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as fair value through profit or loss. These investments are generally made in the process of launching a new fund and are sold as third-party investors subscribe. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its direct investment in the proprietary investment funds. Certain investment funds are consolidated where the Company has made the assessment that it controls the investment fund. As at December 31, 2023, the underlying investments related to these consolidated investment funds primarily consisted of cash and short-term investments of $9.0 million (2022 – $14.6 million), equity securities of $43.6 million (2022 – $97.5 million) and fixed income securities of $19.3 million (2022 – $22.3 million). The underlying securities of these funds are classified as FVTPL and recognized at fair value. Note 7.

Total interest income on loans was $170.3 million (2022 – $138.8 million). Total interest expense on obligations to securitization entities, related to securitized loans, was $142.8 million (2022 – $102.8 million). Losses realized on the sale of residential mortgages totalled $3.6 million (2022 – losses of $3.5 million). Fair value adjustments related to mortgage banking operations totalled negative $8.0 million (2022 – negative $3.1 million). These amounts were included in Wealth management revenue. Wealth management revenue also includes other mortgage banking related items including portfolio insurance, issue costs, and other items. Note 8. Securitizations The Company securitizes residential mortgages through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) sponsored National Housing Act Mortgage-Backed Securities (NHA MBS) Program and Canada Mortgage Bond (CMB) Program and through Canadian bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) programs. These transactions do not meet the requirements for derecognition as the Company retains prepayment risk and certain elements of credit risk. Accordingly, the Company has retained these mortgages on its balance sheets and has recorded offsetting liabilities for the net proceeds received as Obligations to securitization entities which are recorded at amortized cost. The Company earns interest on the mortgages and pays interest on the obligations to securitization entities. As part of the CMB transactions, the Company enters into a swap transaction whereby the Company pays coupons on CMBs and receives investment returns on the NHA MBS and the reinvestment of repaid mortgage principal. A component of this swap, related to the obligation to pay CMB coupons and receive investment returns on repaid mortgage principal, and the hedging swap used to manage exposure 110 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsto changes in variable rate investment returns, are recorded as derivatives with a negative fair value of $4.8 million at December 31, 2023 (2022 – positive $0.9 million). All mortgages securitized under the NHA MBS and CMB Program are insured by CMHC or another approved insurer under the program. As part of the ABCP transactions, the Company has provided cash reserves for credit enhancement which are recorded at cost. Credit risk is limited to these cash reserves and future net interest income as the ABCP Trusts have no recourse to the Company’s other assets for failure to make payments when due. 2023 Carrying value NHA MBS and CMB Program Bank sponsored ABCP Total Fair value 2022 Carrying value NHA MBS and CMB Program Bank sponsored ABCP Total Fair value Securitized mortgages Obligations to securitization entities $ 2,408,639 $ 2,389,389 2,313,806 2,298,438 $ 4,722,445 $ 4,687,827 $ 4,690,885 $ 4,695,738 $ 2,494,400 $ 2,459,828 2,143,241 2,150,610 $ 4,637,641 $ 4,610,438 $ 4,532,493 $ 4,544,609 Net 19,250 15,368 34,618 (4,853) 34,572 (7,369) 27,203 (12,116) $ $ $ $ $ $ The carrying value of Obligations to securitization entities, which is recorded net of issue costs, includes principal payments received on securitized mortgages that are not due to be settled until after the reporting period.

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates, which include Lifeco, ChinaAMC, Rockefeller, and Northleaf, as it exercises significant influence. On January 12, 2023, the Company closed the transaction to acquire Power’s 13.9% interest in ChinaAMC for cash consideration of $1.16 billion including transaction costs, increasing the Company’s equity interest in ChinaAMC from 13.9% to 27.8%. To partially fund the transaction, IGM Financial sold 15,200,662 common shares of Lifeco to Power for cash consideration of $553 million which reduced the Company’s equity interest in Lifeco from 4.0% to 2.4%. The remaining $597 million of consideration was funded from the Company’s existing financial resources including $22 million in dividends received after March 31, 2022 with respect to the Lifeco shares that were sold. The Company continues to equity account for its 27.8% interest in ChinaAMC and 2.4% interest in Lifeco.

Annual ReportThe Company tests whether goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are impaired by assessing the carrying amounts with the recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the Company’s CGUs is based on the best available evidence of fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing the recoverable amounts, valuation approaches are used that may include application of capitalization multiples to financial and operating metrics based upon precedent acquisition transactions and trading comparables and discounted cash flow analysis. Valuation multiples may include price-to-earnings or other conventionally used measures for investment managers or other financial service providers (multiples of value to assets under management, revenues, or other measures of profitability). This assessment may give regard to a variety of relevant considerations, including expected growth, risk and capital market conditions, among other factors. The valuation multiples used in assessing fair value represent Level 2 fair value inputs. Assumptions and estimates employed in discounted cash flows include future changes in assets under management resulting from net sales and investment returns, pricing and profit margin changes and discount rates, which represent level 3 fair value inputs. The fair value less costs of disposal of the Company’s CGUs was compared with the carrying amount and it was determined there was no impairment. Changes in assumptions and estimates used in determining the recoverable amounts of CGUs can result in significant adjustments to the valuation of the CGUs. Note 14. Deposits and certificates Deposits and certificates are classified as other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. Included in the assets of the Consolidated Balance Sheets are cash and cash equivalents, client funds on deposit and loans amounting to $3,344.2 million (2022 – $4,334.0 million) related to deposits and certificates.

Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 16. Employee benefits Defined benefit plans The Company maintains a number of employee pension and post-employment benefit plans. These plans include a funded registered defined benefit pension plan for all eligible employees, unfunded supplementary executive retirement plans (SERPs) for certain executive officers, and an unfunded post-employment health care, dental and life insurance plan for eligible retirees. Effective July 1, 2012, the defined benefit pension plan was closed to new members. For all eligible employees hired after July 1, 2012, the Company has a registered defined contribution pension plan. The defined benefit pension plan is a separate trust that is legally separated from the Company. The defined benefit pension plan is registered under the Pension Benefits Act of Manitoba (Act) and the Income Tax Act (ITA). As required by the Act, the defined benefit pension plan is governed by a pension committee which includes current and retired employees. The Pension Committee has certain responsibilities as described in the Act but may delegate certain activities to the Company. The ITA governs the employer’s ability to make contributions and also has parameters that the plan must meet with respect to investments in foreign property. The defined benefit pension plan provides lifetime pension benefits to all eligible employees based on length of service and final average earnings subject to limits established by the ITA. Death benefits are available on the death of an active member or a retired member. Employees who are not senior officers are required to make annual contributions based on a percentage of salaries which are subject to a maximum amount. The actuarial valuation for funding purposes related to the Company’s registered defined benefit pension plan, based on a measurement date of December 31, 2022, was completed. The valuation determines the plan surplus or deficit on both a solvency and going concern basis. The solvency basis determines the relationship between the plan assets and its liabilities assuming that the plan is wound up and settled on the valuation date. A going concern valuation compares the relationship between the plan assets and the present value of the expected future benefit cash flows, assuming the plan will be maintained indefinitely. Based on the actuarial valuation, the registered pension plan had a solvency surplus of $70.5 million compared to a solvency surplus of $14.4 million in the previous actuarial valuation, which was based on a measurement date of December 31, 2021. The improvement in the funded status resulted largely from interest rate increases. The registered pension plan had a going concern surplus of $127.4 million compared to $95.0 million in the previous valuation. The next actuarial valuation will be based on a measurement date of December 31, 2025. During the year, the Company has made contributions of $2.8 million (2022 – $11.4 million). As a result of the valuation filed in April 2023, IGM Financial received a contribution holiday and is not allowed to make contributions to the pension plan until the next actuarial valuation which is expected to be as at December 31, 2025. Pension contribution decisions are subject to change, as contributions are affected by many factors including market performance, regulatory requirements, changes in assumptions and management’s ability to change funding policy. The SERPs are non-registered, non-contributory defined benefit plans which provide supplementary benefits to certain retired executives. The other post-employment benefit plan is a non-contributory plan and provides eligible employees a reimbursement of medical costs or a fixed amount per year to cover medical costs during retirement. The SERPs and other post-employment benefit plans are managed by the Company with oversight from the Board of Directors. The defined benefit plans expose the Company to actuarial risks such as mortality risk which represents life expectancy and impacts the calculation of the obligations; interest rate risk which impacts the discount rate used to calculate the obligations and the actual return on plan assets; salary risk as estimated salary increases are used in the calculation of the obligations; and investment risk as the nature of the investments impact the actual return on the plan assets. The risks are managed by regular monitoring of the plans, applicable regulations and other factors that could impact the Company’s expenses and cash flows. 117 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

A number of countries where the Company operates, including Ireland and the UK, have enacted legislation, and will be effective for the Company’s financial year beginning January 1, 2024. Pillar Two draft legislation in Canada has not been substantively enacted but when enacted, is expected to be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2024. The assessment of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes is based on the most recent tax filings, country-by-country reporting and financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries as part of a larger related group of companies. Based on the assessment, the Pillar Two effective tax rates of the material jurisdictions in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate are above 15%. However, there may be immaterial jurisdictions where the Pillar Two income taxes apply, but the Company and its subsidiaries do not expect a material exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in those jurisdictions. 120 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

Pursuant to this bid, the Company may purchase up to 3 million or 1.3% of its common shares outstanding as at December 7, 2023. On March 1, 2022, the Company commenced a NCIB which was effective until February 28, 2023. Pursuant to this bid, the Company was authorized to purchase up to 6.0 million or approximately 2.5% of its common shares outstanding as at February 15, 2022. 122 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements There were no common shares purchased in the year ended December 31, 2023. In the year ended December 31, 2022, there were 2,890,000 shares purchased at a cost of $115.7 million. The premium paid to purchase the shares in excess of the stated value was charged to Retained earnings. In connection with its NCIB, the Company has established an automatic securities purchase plan for its common shares. The automatic securities purchase plan provides standard instructions regarding how IGM Financial’s common shares are to be purchased under the normal course issuer bid during certain pre-determined trading blackout periods, subject to pre-established parameters. Outside of these pre-determined trading blackout periods, purchases under the Company’s normal course issuer bid will be completed based upon management’s discretion. Note 20. Capital management The Company’s capital management objective is to maximize shareholder returns while ensuring that the Company is capitalized in a manner which appropriately supports regulatory capital requirements, working capital needs and business expansion. The Company’s capital management practices are focused on preserving the quality of its financial position by maintaining a solid capital base and a strong balance sheet. Capital of the Company consists of long-term debt and common shareholders’ equity. The Company regularly assesses its capital management practices in response to changing economic conditions. The Company’s capital is primarily utilized in its ongoing business operations to support working capital requirements, long-term investments made by the Company, business expansion and other strategic objectives. Subsidiaries subject to regulatory capital requirements include investment dealers, mutual fund dealers, exempt market dealers, portfolio managers, investment fund managers and a trust company. These subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum levels of capital based on either working capital, liquidity or shareholders’ equity. The Company’s subsidiaries have complied with all regulatory capital requirements. The total outstanding long-term debt was $2,400.0 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $2,100.0 million at December 31, 2022. Long-term debt is comprised of debentures which are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company subject to standard covenants, including negative pledges, but which do not include any specified financial or operational covenants. The increase in long-term debt resulted from the issuance on May 26, 2023, of $300.0 million 5.426% debentures maturing May 26, 2053. The net proceeds were used by IGM Financial to fund a portion of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition of the 20.5% equity interest in Rockefeller and for general corporate purposes. The Company commenced a NCIB on December 21, 2023 to purchase for cancellation up to 3 million of its common shares. The program will be used to mitigate the dilutive effect of stock options issued under the Company’s stock option plan and for other capital management purposes. There were no common shares purchased by the Company in 2023. Other activities in 2023 included the declaration of common share dividends of $535.7 million or $2.25 per share. Changes in common share capital are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. Note 21. Share-based payments Stock option plan Under the terms of the Company’s Stock Option Plan (Plan), options to purchase common shares are periodically granted to employees at prices not less than the weighted average trading price per common share on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five trading days preceding the date of the grant. The options are subject to time vesting conditions set out at the grant date. Options vest over a period of up to 7.5 years from the grant date and are exercisable no later than 10 years after the grant date. At December 31, 2023, 17,687,703 (2022 – 18,151,379) common shares were reserved for issuance under the Plan. 123 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual ReportDuring 2023, the Company granted 662,606 options to employees (2022 – 1,546,295). The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2023, has been estimated at $5.56 per option (2022 – $4.91) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average closing share price at the grant dates was $42.36 (2022 – $44.02). Other assumptions used in these valuation models include: Exercise price Risk-free interest rate Expected option life Expected volatility Expected dividend yield 2023 2022 $ 42.53 $ 44.59 3.44% 7 years 23.00% 5.31% 2.04% 7 years 23.00% 5.12% Expected volatility has been estimated based on the historic volatility of the Company’s share price over seven years which is reflective of the expected option life. The average share price in 2023 was $38.43 (2022 – $39.50). The Company recorded compensation expense related to its stock option program of $4.7 million (2022 – $4.9 million).

These plans include Performance Share Unit (PSU), Deferred Share Unit (DSU) and Restricted Share Unit (RSU) plans. Under the terms of the plans, share units are awarded annually and are subject to time vesting conditions. In addition, the PSU and DSU plans are subject to performance vesting conditions. The value of each share unit is based on the share price of the Company’s common shares. The PSUs and RSUs are cash settled and vest over a three year period. Certain employees can elect at the time of grant to receive a portion of their PSUs in the form of deferred share units which vest over a three year period. Deferred share units are redeemable when a participant is no longer an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates by a lump sum payment based on the value of the deferred share unit at that time. Additional share units are issued in respect of dividends payable on common shares based on a value of the share unit at the dividend payment date. The Company recorded compensation expense, excluding the impact of hedging, of $23.7 million in 2023 (2022 – $21.1 million) and a liability of $37.4 million at December 31, 2023 (2022 – $40.1 million). 124 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsShare purchase plans Under the Company’s share purchase plans, eligible employees can elect each year to have a percentage of their annual earnings withheld, subject to a maximum, to purchase the Company’s common shares. The Company matches 50% of the contribution amounts. All contributions are used by the plan trustee to purchase common shares in the open market. Shares purchased with Company contributions vest after a maximum period of two years following the date of purchase. The Company’s contributions are recorded in Advisory and business development and Operations and support expenses as paid and totalled $4.9 million (2022 – $4.7 million). Directors’ deferred share unit plan The Company has a Deferred Share Unit (DSU) plan for the directors of the Company to promote a greater alignment of interests between directors and shareholders of the Company. Under the terms of the plan, directors are required to receive 50% of their annual board retainer in the form of DSUs and may elect to receive the balance of their annual board retainer in cash or DSUs. Directors may elect to receive certain fees in a combination of DSUs and cash. The number of DSUs granted is determined by dividing the amount of remuneration payable by the average closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange of the common shares of the Company on the last five days of the fiscal quarter (value of DSU). A director who has elected to receive DSUs will receive additional DSUs in respect of dividends payable on common shares, based on the value of a DSU at the dividend payment date. DSUs are redeemable when a participant is no longer a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates by cash payments, based on the value of the DSUs at that time. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the DSUs outstanding was $31.1 million (2022 – $29.8 million). Any difference between the change in fair value of the DSUs and the change in fair value of the total return swap, which is an economic hedge for the DSU plan, is recognized in Operations and support expense in the period in which the change occurs.

Annual ReportNote 23. Risk management The Company actively manages its liquidity, credit and market risks. Liquidity and funding risk related to financial instruments Liquidity and funding risk is the risk of an inability to generate or obtain sufficient cash in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet contractual or anticipated commitments as they come due or arise. Our liquidity profile is structured to ensure we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy current and prospective requirements in both normal and stressed conditions. The Company’s liquidity management practices include: • Maintaining liquid assets and lines of credit to satisfy near term liquidity needs. • Ensuring effective controls over liquidity management processes. • Performing regular cash forecasts and stress testing. • Regular assessment of capital market conditions and the Company’s ability to access bank and capital market funding. • Ongoing efforts to diversify and expand long-term mortgage funding sources. • Oversight of liquidity and funding risks by the Financial Risk Management Committee, a committee of finance and other business leaders. A key funding requirement is the funding of advisor network compensation paid for the distribution of financial products and services. This compensation continues to be paid from operating cash flows. The Company also maintains sufficient liquidity to fund and temporarily hold mortgages pending sale or securitization to long-term funding sources and to manage any derivative collateral requirements. Through its mortgage banking operations, residential mortgages are sold to third parties including certain mutual funds, institutional investors through private placements, Canadian bank-sponsored securitization trusts, and by issuance and sale of National Housing Act Mortgage Backed Securities (NHA MBS) including sales to Canada Housing Trust under the Canada Mortgage Bond Program (CMB Program). Certain subsidiaries of the Company are approved issuers of NHA MBS and are approved sellers into the CMB Program. Capacity for sales under the CMB Program consists of participation in new CMB issues and reinvestment of principal repayments held in the Principal Reinvestment Accounts. The Company maintains committed capacity within certain Canadian bank-sponsored securitization trusts. The Company’s contractual maturities of certain financial liabilities were as follows: As at December 31, 2023 ($ millions) Derivative financial instruments Deposits and Certificates(1) Obligations to securitization entities Leases(2) Long-term debt Total contractual maturities Demand Less than 1 year 1–5 years Over 5 years $ – $ 11.4 $ 38.2 $ – $ 3,342.8 – – – 0.3 937.1 29.2 – 0.5 3,737.5 84.2 525.0 0.6 13.2 96.9 1,875.0 Total 49.6 3,344.2 4,687.8 210.3 2,400.0 $ 3,342.8 $ 978.0 $ 4,385.4 $ 1,985.7 $ 10,691.9 (1) Deposits and certificates due on demand are primarily offset by client funds held on deposit. (2) Includes remaining lease payments related to office space and equipment used in the normal course of business. In addition to the Company’s current balance of cash and cash equivalents, liquidity is available through the Company’s lines of credit. The Company’s lines of credit with various Schedule I Canadian chartered banks totalled $800 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $825 million at December 31, 2022. The lines of credit at December 31, 2023 consisted of committed lines of $650 million and uncommitted lines of $150 million, compared to $650 million and $175 million at December 31, 2022. Any advances made by a bank under the uncommitted lines of credit are at the bank’s sole discretion. As at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was not utilizing its committed lines of credit or its uncommitted lines of credit. The Company’s liquidity position and its management of liquidity and funding risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2022. 126 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsCredit risk related to financial instruments This is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a transaction fails to meet its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk through its cash and cash equivalents, client funds on deposit, mortgage portfolio, and use of over-the-counter derivatives. The Company monitors its credit risk management practices on an ongoing basis to evaluate their effectiveness. At December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents of $544.6 million (2022 – $1,072.9 million) consisted of cash balances of $216.5 million (2022 – $346.3 million) on deposit with Canadian chartered banks and cash equivalents of $328.1 million (2022 – $726.6 million). Cash equivalents are comprised of Government of Canada treasury bills totalling $0.5 million (2022 – $81.6 million), provincial government treasury bills and promissory notes of $36.4 million (2022 – $306.8 million), bankers’ acceptances of $291.2 million (2022 – $293.2 million) and other corporate commercial paper of nil (2022 – $45.0 million). The Company manages credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents by adhering to its Investment Policy that outlines credit risk parameters and concentration limits. The Company regularly reviews the credit ratings of its counterparties. The maximum exposure to credit risk on these financial instruments is their carrying value. Client funds on deposit of $3,365.7 million (2022 – $4,347.4 million) are held with Schedule I chartered banks. As at December 31, 2023, residential mortgages, recorded on the Company’s balance sheet, of $5.1 billion (2022 – $5.0 billion) consisted of $4.7 billion sold to securitization programs (2022 – $4.6 billion), $375.5 million held pending sale or securitization (2022 – $371.9 million) and $11.5 million related to the Company’s intermediary operations (2022 – $12.7 million). The Company manages credit risk related to residential mortgages through: • Adhering to its lending policy and underwriting standards; • Its loan servicing capabilities; • Use of client-insured mortgage default insurance and mortgage portfolio default insurance held by the Company; and • Its practice of originating its mortgages exclusively through its own network of Mortgage Advisors and IG Wealth Management advisors as part of a client’s IG Living Plan™. In certain instances, credit risk is also limited by the terms and nature of securitization transactions as described below: • Under the NHA MBS program totalling $2.4 billion (2022 – $2.5 billion), the Company is obligated to make timely payment of principal and coupons irrespective of whether such payments were received from the mortgage borrower. However, as required by the NHA MBS program, 100% of the loans are insured by an approved insurer. • Credit risk for mortgages securitized by transfer to bank-sponsored securitization trusts totalling $2.3 billion (2022 – $2.1 billion) is limited to amounts held in cash reserve accounts and future net interest income, the fair values of which were $58.0 million (2022 – $55.2 million) and $37.0 million (2022 – $21.3 million), respectively, at December 31, 2023. Cash reserve accounts are reflected on the balance sheet, whereas rights to future net interest income are not reflected on the balance sheet and will be recorded over the life of the mortgages. At December 31, 2023, residential mortgages recorded on balance sheet were 50.7% insured (2022 – 53.3%). As at December 31, 2023, impaired mortgages on these portfolios were $3.1 million, compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2022. Uninsured non-performing mortgages over 90 days on these portfolios were $2.8 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2022. The Company also retains certain elements of credit risk on mortgage loans sold to the IG Mackenzie Mortgage and Short-Term Income Fund through an agreement to repurchase mortgages in certain circumstances benefiting the funds. These loans are not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as the Company has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership associated with these loans. The Company regularly reviews the credit quality of the mortgages and the adequacy of the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company’s allowance for expected credit losses was $0.7 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $0.8 million at December 31, 2022, and is considered adequate by management to absorb all credit-related losses in the mortgage portfolios based on: i) historical credit performance experience, ii) recent trends including increasing interest rates, iii) current portfolio credit metrics and other relevant characteristics, iv) our strong financial planning relationship with our clients, and v) stress testing of losses under adverse real estate market conditions. 127 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual ReportThe Company’s exposure to and management of credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents, fixed income securities and mortgage portfolios have not changed materially since December 31, 2022. The Company is exposed to credit risk through derivative contracts it utilizes to hedge interest rate risk, to facilitate securitization transactions and to hedge market risk related to certain stock-based compensation arrangements. These derivatives are discussed more fully under the Market risk section. To the extent that the fair value of the derivatives is in a gain position, the Company is exposed to credit risk if its counterparties fail to fulfil their obligations under these arrangements. The Company’s derivative activities are managed in accordance with its Derivative Policy which includes counterparty limits and other parameters to manage counterparty risk. The aggregate credit risk exposure related to derivatives that are in a gain position of $51.2 million (2022 – $71.2 million) does not give effect to any netting agreements or collateral arrangements. The exposure to credit risk, considering netting agreements and collateral arrangements and including rights to future net interest income, was $3.7 million at December 31, 2023 (2022 – $10.5 million). Counterparties are all Canadian Schedule I chartered banks and, as a result, management has determined that the Company’s overall credit risk related to derivatives was not significant at December 31, 2023. Management of credit risk related to derivatives has not changed materially since December 31, 2022. Market risk related to financial instruments This is the risk of loss arising from changes in the values of the Company’s financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, equity prices or foreign exchange rates. Interest rate risk The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its loan portfolio and on certain of the derivative financial instruments used in the Company’s mortgage banking operations. The Company manages interest rate risk associated with its mortgage banking operations by entering into interest rate swaps with Canadian Schedule I chartered banks as follows: • The Company has in certain instances funded floating rate mortgages with fixed rate Canada Mortgage Bonds as part of the securitization transactions under the CMB Program. As part of the CMB Program, the Company is party to a swap whereby it is entitled to receive investment returns on reinvested mortgage principal and is obligated to pay Canada Mortgage Bond coupons. This swap had a fair value of $7.7 million (2022 – $20.5 million) and an outstanding notional amount of $0.2 billion at December 31, 2023 (2022 – $0.2 billion). The Company enters into interest rate swaps with Canadian Schedule I chartered banks to hedge the risk that the interest rates earned on floating rate mortgages and reinvestment returns decline. The fair value of these swaps totalled negative $12.5 million (2022 – negative $19.6 million), on an outstanding notional amount of $1.4 billion at December 31, 2023 (2022 – $1.3 billion). The net fair value of these swaps of negative $4.8 million at December 31, 2023 (2022 – positive $0.9 million) is recorded on the balance sheet and has an outstanding notional amount of $1.6 billion (2022 – $1.5 billion). • The Company is exposed to the impact that changes in interest rates may have on the value of mortgages committed to or held pending sale or securitization to long-term funding sources. The Company enters into interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk related to funding costs for mortgages held by the Company pending sale or securitization. Hedge accounting is applied to the cost of funds on certain securitization activities. The effective portion of fair value changes of the associated interest rate swaps are initially recognized in Other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in Wealth Management revenue over the term of the related Obligations to securitization entities. The fair value of these swaps was negative $1.1 million (2022 – positive $4.7 million) on an outstanding notional amount of $181.5 million at December 31, 2023 (2022 – $191.6 million). As at December 31, 2023, the impact to annual net earnings of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have been an increase of approximately $0.5 million (2022 – decrease of $1.7 million). The Company’s exposure to and management of interest rate risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2022. Equity price risk The Company is exposed to equity price risk on its equity investments (Note 6) which are classified as either fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, and on our investments in associates (Note 10), which are accounted for using the equity method. The fair value of the equity investments was $0.9 billion at December 31, 2023 (2022 – $0.8 billion) and the carrying value of the Investment in associates was $3.7 billion at December 31, 2023 (2022 – $2.1 billion). 128 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsThe Company sponsors a number of deferred compensation arrangements where payments to participants are deferred and linked to the performance of the common shares of IGM Financial Inc. The Company hedges its exposure to this risk through the use of forward agreements and total return swaps. Foreign exchange risk The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on its investment in ChinaAMC and Rockefeller. Changes to the carrying value due to changes in foreign exchange rates are recognized in Other comprehensive income. As at December 31, 2023, a 5% appreciation (depreciation) in Canadian currency relative to foreign currencies would decrease (increase) the aggregate carrying value of foreign investments by approximately $128.1 million ($141.6 million). The Company’s proportionate share of ChinaAMC’s and Rockefeller’s earnings, recorded in Proportionate share of associates’ earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, is also affected by changes in foreign exchange rates. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the impact to net earnings of a 5% appreciation (depreciation) in Canadian currency relative to foreign currencies would decrease (increase) the Company’s proportionate share of associates’ earnings (losses) by approximately $4.9 million ($5.4 million). Risks related to assets under management and advisement Risks related to the performance of the equity markets, changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar can have a significant impact on the level and mix of assets under management and advisement. These changes in assets under management and advisement directly impact earnings. Note 24. Derivative financial instruments The Company enters into derivative contracts which are either exchange-traded or negotiated in the over-the-counter market on a diversified basis with Schedule I chartered banks or Canadian bank-sponsored securitization trusts that are counterparties to the Company’s securitization transactions. In all cases, the derivative contracts are used for non-trading purposes. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements between two parties to exchange the related interest payments based on a specified notional amount and reference rate for a specified period. Total return swaps are contractual agreements to exchange payments based on a specified notional amount and the underlying security for a specific period. Options are contractual agreements which convey the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell specific financial instruments at a fixed price at a future date. Forward contracts are contractual agreements to buy or sell a financial instrument on a future date at a specified price. Certain of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are subject to master netting arrangements and are presented on a gross basis. The amount subject to credit risk is limited to the current fair value of the instruments which are in a gain position and recorded as assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total estimated fair value represents the total amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate all agreements at each year end. However, this would not result in a gain or loss to the Company as the derivative instruments which correlate to certain assets and liabilities provide offsetting gains or losses. 129 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

The credit risk related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments after giving effect to netting agreements and including rights to future net interest income, was $3.7 million (2022 – $10.5 million). Rights to future net interest income are related to the Company’s securitization activities and are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Note 25. Fair value of financial instruments Fair values are management’s estimates and are calculated using market conditions at a specific point in time and may not reflect future fair values. The calculations are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and are matters of significant judgment. All financial instruments measured at fair value and those for which fair value is disclosed are classified into one of three levels that distinguish fair value measurements by the significance of the inputs used for valuation. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the most advantageous market, utilizing a hierarchy of three different valuation techniques, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data; and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Valuation techniques are primarily model-based. Markets are considered inactive when transactions are not occurring with sufficient regularity. Inactive markets may be characterized by a significant decline in the volume and level of observed trading activity or through large or erratic bid/offer spreads. In those instances where traded markets are not considered sufficiently active, fair value is measured using valuation models which may utilize predominantly observable market inputs (Level 2) or may utilize predominantly non-observable market inputs (Level 3). Management considers all reasonably available information including indicative broker quotations, any available pricing for similar instruments, recent arm’s length market transactions, any relevant observable market inputs, and internal model-based estimates. Management exercises judgment in determining the most appropriate inputs and the weighting ascribed to each input as well as in the selection of valuation methodologies. 130 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial StatementsFair value is determined using the following methods and assumptions: Other investments and other financial assets and financial liabilities are valued using quoted prices from active markets, when available. When a quoted market price is not readily available, valuation techniques are used that require assumptions related to discount rates and the timing and amount of future cash flows. Wherever possible, observable market inputs are used in the valuation techniques. Loans classified as Level 2 are valued using market interest rates for loans with similar credit risk and maturity. Loans classified as Level 3 are valued by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing market yields. Valuation methods used for Other investments classified as Level 3 include comparison to market transactions with arm’s length third parties, use of market multiples, and discounted cash flow analysis. Obligations to securitization entities are valued by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing market yields for securities issued by these securitization entities having similar terms and characteristics. Deposits and certificates are valued by discounting the contractual cash flows using market interest rates currently offered for deposits with similar terms and credit risks. Long-term debt is valued using quoted prices for each debenture available in the market. Derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted market prices, where available, prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and maturities, or discounted cash flow analysis. Level 1 financial instruments include exchange-traded equity investments and open-end investment fund units and other financial liabilities in instances where there are quoted prices available from active markets. Level 2 assets and liabilities include fixed income securities, loans, derivative financial instruments, deposits and certificates and long-term debt. The fair value of fixed income securities is determined using quoted market prices or independent dealer price quotes. The fair value of derivative financial instruments and deposits and certificates are determined using valuation models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques using primarily observable market inputs. The fair value of long-term debt is determined using indicative broker quotes. Level 3 assets and liabilities include investments with little or no trading activity valued using broker-dealer quotes, loans, other financial assets, obligations to securitization entities and derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments consist of principal reinvestment account swaps which represent the component of a swap entered into under the CMB Program whereby the Company pays coupons on Canada Mortgage Bonds and receives investment returns on the reinvestment of repaid mortgage principal. Fair value is determined by discounting the projected cashflows of the swaps. The notional amount, which is an input used to determine the fair value of the swap, is determined using an average unobservable prepayment rate of 15% which is based on historical prepayment patterns. An increase (decrease) in the assumed mortgage prepayment rate increases (decreases) the notional amount of the swap. Level 3 Other investments of $721 million, are predominantly comprised of early-stage financial technology companies, including Wealthsimple with a fair value of $607 million. Fair value is determined by using observable transactions in the investments’ securities, where available, forecasted cash flows, and other valuation metrics, including revenue multiples, used in the valuation of comparable public companies. A 5% increase (decrease) to forecasted cash flows or revenue multiples would result in an increase (decrease) in fair value of the Company’s investment in Wealthsimple of approximately $30 million. The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. The table distinguishes between those financial instruments recorded at fair value and those recorded at amortized cost. The table also excludes fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. These items include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, certain other financial assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, credit facility and certain other financial liabilities. 131 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc.

Note 27. Contingent liabilities and guarantees Contingent liabilities The Company is subject to legal actions arising in the normal course of its business. In December 2018, a proposed class action was filed in the Ontario Superior Court against Mackenzie Financial Corporation (Mackenzie) which alleges that the company should not have paid mutual fund trailing commissions to order execution only dealers. This action was certified in January 2024. In August 2022, a second proposed class action concerning the same subject matter was filed against Mackenzie. In late March 2023, the Company was notified by one of our third-party vendors, InvestorCOM Inc., that they were compromised due to a cybersecurity incident related to a technology supplier to InvestorCOM, GoAnywhere. The Company has notified impacted clients and offered credit monitoring at no cost for two years to all clients. Four proposed class actions have been filed against Mackenzie concerning this incident. Although it is difficult to predict the outcome of any such legal actions, based on current knowledge, management does not expect the outcome of any of these matters, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. Guarantees In the normal course of operations, the Company executes agreements that provide for indemnifications to third parties in transactions such as business dispositions, business acquisitions, loans and securitization transactions. The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and officers. The nature of these agreements precludes the possibility of making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount the Company could be required to pay third parties as the agreements often do not specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent on the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined. Historically, the Company has not made any payments under such indemnification agreements. No provisions have been recognized related to these agreements. 133 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report Note 28. Related party transactions Transactions and balances with related entities The Company enters into transactions with Canada Life, which is a subsidiary of its affiliate, Lifeco, which is a subsidiary of Power. These transactions are in the normal course of operations and have been recorded at fair value: • During 2023 and 2022, the Company provided to and received from Canada Life certain administrative services. The Company distributes insurance products under a distribution agreement with Canada Life and received $51.7 million in distribution fees (2022 – $48.7 million). The Company received $59.8 million (2022 – $61.4 million) and paid $19.6 million (2022 – $19.5 million) to Canada Life and related subsidiary companies for the provision of sub-advisory services for certain investment funds. On January 12, 2023, the Company acquired an additional interest in ChinaAMC from Power and sold a portion of its investment in Lifeco to Power (Note 10). On November 30, 2023, the Company completed the sale of 100% of IPC to Canada Life (Note 3). The acquisition and sale transactions were recorded at fair value. Key management compensation The total compensation and other benefits to directors and employees classified as key management, being individuals having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, are as follows: Compensation and employee benefits Post-employment benefits Share-based payments 2023 $ 4,224 $ 4,267 2,217 2022 4,084 4,042 1,756 $ 10,708 $ 9,882 Share-based payments exclude the fair value remeasurement of the deferred share units associated with changes in the Company’s share price (Note 21). Note 29. Segmented information In 2023, the Company realigned its reportable segments to better characterize and simplify the Company’s business lines into wealth management and asset management segments. The revised segments reflect a realignment of Rockefeller and Wealthsimple to the wealth management segment and ChinaAMC and Northleaf to the asset management segment. These changes have no impact on the reported earnings of the Company. Prior period comparative information has been restated to reflect the realigned segments. The Company’s reportable segments are: • Wealth Management • Asset Management • Corporate and Other These segments reflect the Company’s internal financial reporting and performance measurement. • Wealth Management – reflects the activities of its core business and strategic investments that are principally focused on providing financial planning and related services to retail client households. This segment includes the activities of IG Wealth Management which is a retail distribution organization that serves Canadian households through its securities dealer, mutual fund dealer and other subsidiaries licensed to distribute financial products and services. A majority of the revenues of this segment are derived from providing financial advice and distributing financial products and services to Canadian households. This segment also includes the investment management activities of these organizations, including mutual fund management and discretionary portfolio management services. This segment also includes the Company’s strategic investments in Rockefeller and Wealthsimple. Rockefeller is classified as an investment in associate and accounted for using the equity method, with the proportionate share 134 2023 IGM Financial Inc. Annual Report | Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsof earnings included in revenue. Wealthsimple is classified as an investment which is accounted for as fair value through other comprehensive income and therefore has no impact on the segment earnings. This segment also included IPC, which was sold on November 30, 2023. IPC’s results were classified as discontinued operations. • Asset Management – reflects the activities of its core business and strategic investments primarily focused on providing investment management services. This segment includes the operations of Mackenzie Investments which provides investment management services to a suite of investment funds that are distributed through third party dealers and financial advisors, and through institutional advisory mandates to financial institutions, pensions and other institutional investors. This segment also includes the Company’s strategic investment in ChinaAMC and Northleaf which are classified as investments in associates and accounted for using the equity method. The proportionate share of earnings on these investments are included in the segment’s revenue. • Corporate and Other – primarily represents investments in Lifeco and Portage, the Company’s unallocated capital, as well as consolidation elimination entries. 2023 Revenues Wealth management Asset management Dealer compensation Net asset management Net investment income and other Gain on sale of Lifeco shares (Note 10) Proportionate share of associates’ earnings Expenses Advisory and business development Operations and support Sub-advisory Interest expense(2) Earnings before income taxes Income taxes Net earnings from continuing operations Net earnings from discontinued operations Non-controlling interest Restructuring and other, net of tax(1) Gain on sale of IPC(1) Gain on sale of Lifeco shares, net of tax(1) Lifeco IFRS 17 adjustment(1) Wealth Management Asset Management Corporate and Other Total Segment Adjustments (1) Total $ 2,206,201 $ – $ (6,520) $ 2,199,681 $ – $ 2,199,681 949,041 (314,107) 634,934 37,646 172,977 200,137 – – – 1,051,122 (311,439) (102,081) (2,668) 949,041 (314,107) 739,683 (104,749) 634,934 13,299 12,094 12,253 37,646 – – – – – (3,309) 2,216,191 922,713 438,486 172,391 – 121,440 873,217 83,546 362,681 – – 66,908 185,039 172,977 15,098 (32,108) 3,057,300 188,075 3,245,375 (7) 1,006,252 – 1,006,252 1,271 4,609 (111,269) 802,438 65,731 103,266 – 905,704 65,731 1,533,590 450,836 (110,005) 1,874,421 103,266 1,977,687 682,601 98,210 584,391 155,984 428,407 14,849 443,256 (150) 443,106 422,381 25,021 397,360 83,761 313,599 – 313,599 (3,469) 310,130 77,897 1,182,879 84,809 1,267,688 – 123,231 – 123,231 77,897 (1,929) 79,826 (12,421) 67,405 – 67,405 1,059,648 84,809 1,144,457 237,816 821,832 2,428 824,260 (3,619) 820,641 (76,208) 220,703 168,658 15,098 (22,739) 107,548 220,703 215,077 929,380 223,131 328,251 1,152,511 – (3,619) 328,251 1,148,892 76,208 (220,703) (168,658) (15,098) – – – – Net earnings available to common shareholders $ 1,148,892 $ – $ 1,148,892 Identifiable assets Goodwill Total assets $ 11,456,731 $ 3,583,510 $ 986,270 $ 16,026,511 $ 1,346,245 1,290,526 – 2,636,771 $ 12,802,976 $ 4,874,036 $ 986,270 $ 18,663,282 $ – – – $ 16,026,511 2,636,771 $ 18,663,282 (1) Restructuring and other, Gain on sale of IPC, Gain on sale of Lifeco shares and Lifeco IFRS 17 adjustment are not related to a specific segment and therefore excluded from segment results.
