Desjardins-Laurentian Financial is the publicly traded subsidiary of the Quebec-based financial services cooperative, Mouvement des caisses Desjardins. Desjardins-Laurentian offers insurance, investment, and asset management through subsidiaries. Services include life and general insurance, mutual funds, trust services, and securities brokerage. The majority of revenues come from life insurance, which the company sells under its Desjardins-Laurentian name in Quebec and Imperial Life (which is being merged into the company) in the rest of Canada. Though it primarily operates in Quebec, the company is trying to expand its operations to other parts of Canada through growth and acquisitions.
