WINNIPEG, MB, Sept. 23, 2024 /CNW/ - IG Wealth Management ("IG") today announced the addition of a new multi-sector fixed income mandate to the iProfile Fixed Income Private Pool ("the Pool"), as well as the launch of a new retail fund, the IG Manulife Strategic Income Fund ("the Fund"), to its product shelf.
