CI Global Asset Management Announces Fund Name Changes to Reflect Integrated Investment Management Platform
CI Global Asset Management ("CI GAM”) today announced the renaming of 156 investment funds as part of a strategic initiative to modernize its business and product lineup. CI GAM also announced risk rating changes for four of those mandates, as well as its intention to discontinue deferred, intermediate deferred and low load sales charge purchase options for all CI mutual funds effective June 1, 2022.
"Rebranding our funds reflects the important changes we have made in building CI GAM into an integrated global investment platform with a strong lineup of relevant investment solutions that will help today’s investors meet their financial goals,” said Kurt MacAlpine, Chief Executive Officer of CI Financial Corp., parent company of CI GAM.
The name changes support CI GAM’s integration of its in-house investment boutiques into a single investment team operating under the CI Global Asset Management name. This reorganization has allowed for greater collaboration and sharing of insights and best practices across the organization and increased the depth and breadth of CI GAM’s research coverage. The change was initiated in the fall of 2020 when CI Investments Inc. rebranded to CI Global Asset Management.
Now, with the fund name changes, the legacy boutique brands will be retired and the funds will be aligned under a single brand with national recognition.
"The changes emphasize for investors that our funds benefit from the full breadth and depth of expertise of CI GAM, one of Canada’s largest investment managers and a firm with extensive global capabilities and experience,” Mr. MacAlpine said.
This news follows CI GAM’s appointment of Marc-André Lewis as its first-ever Head of Investment Management. Mr. Lewis, who was previously Head of Portfolio Construction at the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated institutional investors, will join CI GAM in September. With his diverse background spanning all asset classes, asset allocation, portfolio construction, risk management, and public and private markets, he will lead the continued development of CI GAM’s integrated investment team.
CI GAM has also introduced a series of innovative new products over the last 18 months, including mandates focused on cryptocurrencies, gold bullion, the longevity economy, fixed income, and alternative investments.
"Having a unified investment team and a unified brand simplifies our offering for clients and makes it easier for investors and advisors to do business with us,” Mr. MacAlpine said. "As part of these changes, we are also bringing consistency to our naming conventions and ensuring that our fund names better represent their investment mandates.”
The name changes will be implemented in two phases. Fifty-five funds – primarily Sentry-branded funds – are being renamed as of June 25, 2021 and another 101 funds will be renamed effective July 29, 2021. There are no changes to the investment objectives or portfolio managers of the funds with these changes.
