The joint venture is independently operated and managed by Axia\u2019s four Founding Partners.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAxia\u2019s Founding Partners \u2013 Kelsey Boland, Darrell Shipp, Greg Stevenson and Joshua Varghese \u2013 have decades of combined experience and have managed over $50 billion of combined investments in real assets on behalf of institutional and retail clients. Axia\u2019s mandate is to create investment vehicles focused on a wide array of real estate and infrastructure assets around the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to support the launch of Axia and the work of this ambitious and proven group of investors with extensive experience in high-potential asset classes,\u201d said Kurt MacAlpine, CI Chief Executive Officer. \u201cCI believes that alternative mandates can play a vital role in helping investors meet their financial goals in an increasingly complex and challenging investment environment.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cCI\u2019s growing presence in alternatives includes an industry-leading series of liquid alternative funds with $3.7 billion in assets*. We have also introduced innovative mandates \u2013 such as private real estate and private equity and credit \u2013 that have traditionally been available only to larger institutional investors. We look forward to working with Axia to build out our alternative lineup with additional timely, high-quality solutions.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe have a strong historical relationship with CI and are very excited about CI\u2019s vision for the future of asset and wealth management,\u201d said Mr. Varghese, formerly a portfolio manager at CI Global Asset Management (\u201cCI GAM\u201d) specializing in real estate. \u201cThe support of a large, forward-thinking company like CI will be instrumental for Axia to develop and distribute alternative investment products to investors.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAs investors continue to diversify their portfolios to accumulate long-term wealth, we believe the opportunities for global real assets are significant,\u201d said Mr. Stevenson. \u201cThe joint venture with an established, successful organization such as CI puts us in a strong position to capitalize on these opportunities.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Founding Partners have extensive experience in managing both public and private equity investments in the real estate and infrastructure sectors. Messrs. Boland, Shipp and Stevenson worked together at a multi-billion-dollar asset management firm focused on real estate.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"bwpagebreakafter\" \/>\n<p>\nMr. Shipp was Managing Director and Partner and contributed to the firm\u2019s growth and success through a variety of roles that included operations and leading the investment management team. He worked closely with Mr. Stevenson to build a portfolio of U.S. retail properties anchored by grocery stores, which was listed as a real estate investment trust (\u201cREIT\u201d) on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2014. Mr. Stevenson served as Chief Executive Officer of the REIT until 2020. Mr. Boland was a member of the investment team with experience across asset classes and in merger and acquisitions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs Portfolio Manager at CI GAM, Mr. Varghese was responsible for a multi-billion-dollar portfolio of global real estate equities, and actively engaged with portfolio companies on strategic-level corporate transactions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAxia is based in Toronto and expects to launch its first investment solutions in summer 2021.

(\u201cCI\u201d) and its products and services, including its business operations, strategy and financial performance and condition. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as \u201cbelieve\u201d, \u201cexpect\u201d, \u201cforesee\u201d, \u201cforecast\u201d, \u201canticipate\u201d, \u201cintend\u201d, \u201cestimate\u201d, \u201cgoal\u201d, \u201cplan\u201d and \u201cproject\u201d and similar references to future periods, or conditional verbs such as \u201cwill\u201d, \u201cmay\u201d, \u201cshould\u201d, \u201ccould\u201d or \u201cwould\u201d. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent management beliefs regarding future events, many of which by their nature are inherently uncertain and beyond management\u2019s control. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements involve risks and uncertainties. The material factors and assumptions applied in reaching the conclusions contained in these forward-looking statements include that the investment fund industry will remain stable and that interest rates will remain relatively stable. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, among other things, general economic and market conditions, including interest and foreign exchange rates, global financial markets, changes in government regulations or in tax laws, industry competition, technological developments and other factors described or discussed in CI\u2019s disclosure materials filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities from time to time. The foregoing list is not exhaustive and the reader is cautioned to consider these and other factors carefully and not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Other than as specifically required by applicable law, CI undertakes no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statement after the date on which it is made, whether to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>CI Global Asset Management is a registered business name of CI Investments Inc.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=bwnews&amp;sty=20210406005361r1&amp;sid=flmnd&amp;distro=nx&amp;lang=en\" style=\"width:0;height:0\" \/><span class=\"bwct31415\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"mmgallerylink\"><span id=\"mmgallerylink-phrase\">View source version on businesswire.com: <\/span><span id=\"mmgallerylink-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210406005361\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210406005361\/en\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CI Financial<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/><b>Investor Relations<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Jason Weyeneth, CFA<br \/>\n<br \/>Vice-President, Investor Relations &amp; Strategy<br \/>\n<br \/>416-681-8779<br \/>\n<br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:jweyeneth@ci.com\">jweyeneth@ci.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Media Relations<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/><b>Canada<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Murray Oxby<br \/>\n<br \/>Vice-President, Corporate Communications<br \/>\n<br \/>416-681-3254<br \/>\n<br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:moxby@ci.com\">moxby@ci.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>United States<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Trevor Davis, Gregory FCA for CI Financial<br \/>\n<br \/>443-248-0359<br \/>\n<br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:cifinancial@gregoryfca.com\">cifinancial@gregoryfca.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Axia Real Assets<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Joshua Varghese<br \/>\n<br \/>Founding Partner<br \/>\n<br \/>416-681-3232<br \/>\n<br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:josh@axiarealassets.com\">josh@axiarealassets.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>KEYWORDS:<\/b> North America Canada<\/p>\n<p><b>INDUSTRY KEYWORDS:<\/b> Consulting Banking Professional Services Finance<\/p>\n<p><b>MEDIA:<\/b><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"3\">\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><b>Logo<\/b><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20210406005361\/en\/838798\/3\/CI-F_-_RGB_E.jpg\" alt=\"Logo\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CI Financial Announces Launch of Axia Real Assets, an Investment Manager Specializing in Global Real Estate and Infrastructure TORONTO&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;CI Financial Corp.
