(\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><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=bwnews&amp;sty=20210503005329r1&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\/20210503005329\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210503005329\/en\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Congress Wealth Management<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>Paul Lonergan<br \/>\n<br \/>President<br \/>\n<br \/>617-428-7601\n<\/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>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>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>KEYWORDS:<\/b> United States North America Canada Massachusetts<\/p>\n<p><b>INDUSTRY KEYWORDS:<\/b> 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\/20210503005329\/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 Affiliated RIA Congress Wealth Management Acquires Pinnacle Advisory Group to Create $5.8-billion Firm Transaction boosts CI\u2019s U.S. assets to $58 billion All financial amounts in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise.
