TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2026 /CNW/ -- Today, Canada Life announced the launch of IPC Wealth Inc. (IPC Wealth), bringing together, through amalgamation, the strengths of IPC Investment Corporation (IPC) and Quadrus Investment Services Ltd. (Quadrus) as one national mutual fund dealer with more than 2,500 licensed advisors across Canada.
The amalgamation represents an important step in Canada Life's strategy to grow its wealth management business and further strengthen its value proposition to advisors and clients. As one of the largest financial institutions in the country, Canada Life has brought IPC and Quadrus together as IPC Wealth to create a leading national wealth platform that will give advisors more choice, more support, and better technology, so they can spend more time serving clients and growing their businesses.
"Canada Life believes strongly in the value of advice," said Blaine Shewchuk, Executive Vice-President, Wealth & Advice, Canada Life. "IPC Wealth is about creating a leading wealth platform for entrepreneurial advisors in Canada, with the scale to invest, the flexibility advisors want, and the technology their clients increasingly expect."
One of the key strengths of IPC Wealth is that it maintains the entrepreneurial culture advisors value while providing a full-service platform. Through IPC Wealth and its affiliates, Canadians will have access to leading securities, mutual funds, segregated funds, and protection products.
A plan for the future
The launch of IPC Wealth marks an important milestone as part of the company's ambition to become a leading wealth platform for entrepreneurial advisors in Canada. It demonstrates Canada Life's strategic focus on wealth management and independent advice. A stronger national platform gives Canada Life a better foundation to invest, attract and retain entrepreneurial advisors, and grow its wealth business.
Backing Advisors who help build Canada
IPC Wealth is a place where advisors have the flexibility and support to build their business while focusing on the families and communities they serve.
"Our advisors play an important role in helping Canadians achieve their financial goals," said Shewchuk.

By helping Canadians make informed financial decisions, they contribute to stronger families, communities, and a more resilient economy."
