About iA Financial

iA Financial — A Trusted Canadian Insurer

iA Financial Group, formerly known as Industrial Alliance, is one of Canada's largest insurance and wealth management companies. Founded in 1892, iA serves over 4 million clients across Canada with a comprehensive range of insurance and investment products.

With a history spanning more than 130 years, iA has built a reputation for financial strength, innovation in product design, and exceptional claims service. The company is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: IAG) and consistently earns strong financial ratings.

I recommend iA Financial Group to clients who need a broad product lineup — particularly for group benefits, disability insurance with own-occupation coverage, and critical illness protection. Their flexibility across personal and business lines makes them a strong choice for entrepreneurs and professionals in BC and Manitoba.
