TOP PICK
IGM Financial Inc.
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

Following recently reported net earnings growth of 87% over the year, we reiterate IGM as a TOP PICK.  Its investment in WealthSimple is up 20%.  Cash reserves remain steady as debt is aggressively retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 10x earnings, 1.3x book value and supports a 14% ROE. We continue to recommend a stop at $33, looking to achieve $42 — upside potential of 18%.  It pays a nice dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow.  Yield 6.3%

POW vs. GWO vs. IGM

His best guess is that GWO might be the best performer of the 3, though it's not particularly liquid but shouldn't be an issue for the retail investor. Insurance companies tend to do well in a rising rate environment, because it tends to discount their liabilities to a degree.

COMMENT
IGM Financial Inc.

Funds have been coming out of equity firms. It is starting to expand but it is difficult to get good returns at this stage.. She prefers the parent company Power Corp which has a good dividend yield.

BUY
IGM Financial Inc.

Really likes financials for the second half of the year. From July-September, returns are anemic compared to the market. But at the end of the year, financials have good outperformance. Looks fantastic, strong dividend. Likely to take out highs of 2021 over the course of this cycle. Upside until late 2025 or early 2026.

IGM Financial Inc.

It is expanding into the U.S. and making acquisitions. It has pulled back and could flat-line for a while, You could also look at the parent company Power Corp.

Great job renovating their franchise. He prefers POW, with its discount to NAV and ownership of GWO and GBL. Will continue to buy assets because they need scale. If you don't have scale, asset management becomes very difficult.

COMMENT
IGM Financial Inc.

Are sensitive to market flows. Part of the Power Financial Group; she owns Power shares, the parent company. Prefers Power Corp. for its dividend.

A good dividend and balance sheet is strong. Cash flow, too. Most of your return will come from the dividend. The problem is that they're in a secular growth industry anymore, not like the 1990s or the early 2000s, and it's being disrupted by fintech. IGM is fine, but will not appreciate much.

PAST TOP PICK
IGM Financial Inc.
(A Top Pick Dec 02/22, Down 1%) Effectively a call option on equity markets. Loves the yield of almost 6%. Big pullback in 2022, but now we're seeing higher highs and higher lows, which marks the start of a new uptrend. Attractive reward/risk. Equities are now on sale, great opportunity for long-term investors to pick and choose where they want to deploy capital. Likes it a lot.

TOP PICK
IGM Financial Inc.
Call option on equity markets. If markets move higher, have free option. 5% dividend yield allows for protection to investors.

SELL
IGM Financial Inc.
Once private equity firms entered the space, he's never again invested in a public market asset manager. The money is not sticky enough. Business economics of private equity is more compelling. If you have a big capital gain in IGM, consider that. But if not, consider rotating into something else.
