CI Financial Corp
Investor Relations

CI Financial Corp. began its journey as a small mutual fund company in Canada, and over the decades, it has evolved into a diversified financial services powerhouse. The company's core operations focus on asset management, wealth management, and capital markets. CI Financial generates revenue primarily through management fees, which it earns by investing client assets across a range of mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and alternative investment products. By leveraging its team of skilled portfolio managers and analysts, CI Financial aims to outperform benchmarks and create value for its clients, thus attracting more assets under management (AUM) and enhancing its fee-based income.

In recent years, CI Financial has made strategic expansions into wealth management, particularly in the United States, bolstering its growth prospects. This shift expanded its revenue streams, incorporating advisor-client management services that benefit from ongoing advisory fees. Additionally, CI has ventured into digital wealth platforms, seizing opportunities in the growing demand for technology-driven financial solutions. While managing market fluctuation risks and regulatory challenges, CI Financial's diversified approach allows it to maintain resilience and pursue steady growth through its prudent management of assets and consistent focus on client satisfaction.
