"The excellent fourth quarter and full year results underscore iA's robust distribution capabilities, continuous sales momentum and business diversification. During the fourth quarter, we continued to execute on our long-term strategy and delivered an impressive 39% growth in premiums and deposits compared to the same quarter last year. This solid result was driven by profitable sales that led our core ROE†† to grow to nearly 16% for the year. This performance underscores the soundness of our growth strategy, our solid foundation, our prudent financial management and the unwavering commitment of our employees and distributors."

Denis Ricard, President and CEO of iA Financial Group

Our fourth quarter results show the value created by our operations and confirm the achievement of all our financial targets in our medium-term guidance. Organic capital generation remained strong in the fourth quarter, and this allowed us to meet our target of $600+ million set at the beginning of the year. Our book value per common share has increased by 10% over the past year, reflecting our commitment to creating value for our shareholders. With significant capital available for deployment and increased expected investment earnings, iA concluded 2024 on a solid note, positioning the Company well for further growth in the upcoming years.
