\n\u201cThese appointments demonstrate the benefits of CI GAM\u2019s move to integrate its investment management teams,\u201d said Kurt MacAlpine, Chief Executive Officer of CI Financial, CI GAM\u2019s parent company. \u201cWe are leveraging a wider range of talent and expertise to support these mandates and ensuring that our clients benefit from the full range of CI GAM\u2019s extensive resources and experience in investment management.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nThe company announced in November 2020 that it would be integrating its in-house boutique investment teams into one team operating under the CI Global Asset Management brand. Portfolio managers and analysts are being aligned by investment strategy rather than by investment boutique. The integration is allowing for greater collaboration and sharing of ideas and best practices across the organization and a significant increase in the depth and breadth of CI GAM\u2019s research coverage.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe believe the transition to an integrated platform, with its increasingly free flow of information and exchange of research and insights among our investment professionals, has contributed to the improving relative performance of CI funds in recent quarters,\u201d Mr. MacAlpine said.\n<\/p>\n
