History
Power Financial Corporation has interests in companies in the financial services sector in Canada, the United States and Europe. While its parent company Power Corporation was originally established as an electric utility holding company, the company became a conglomerate with major interests in the finance industry.

Power Financial also has significant holdings in a portfolio of global companies based in Europe through its investment in Pargesa.
The Nesbitt family sold most of their interest in Power Corporation to the Paul Desmarais group in 1968.

By 2007, IGM Financial was the holding company for Power Corporation's investment fund companies. Power Corporation also by 2009 had interests in the parent company of La Presse, Mackenzie Financial, London Life Insurance, Canada Life Assurance, Great-West Life, and Putnam Investments.
