Founded in 1957 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, AGF Management Limited is controlled by subsidiary AGF Inc. and focuses on active management strategies across equities, fixed income, balanced portfolios, and multi-asset solutions.
In recent developments, the company announced strategic enhancements to its ETF lineup in 2024-2025, including launches of low-volatility and sustainable infrastructure funds to meet growing demand for thematic and risk-managed products; it also expanded partnerships with platforms like Mackenzie Investments for co-branded offerings and deepened alliances with institutional clients for customized ESG-integrated portfolios. AGF completed a minor acquisition of niche alternative asset manager assets in late 2024 to bolster its private markets capabilities, while undergoing a leadership transition with the appointment of a new Chief Investment Officer focused on AI-driven analytics. These initiatives reflect AGF's ongoing shift toward diversified, technology-enabled investment products amid market volatility, positioning it for growth in sustainable and alternative segments.[ from prior searches on company profile]
