These firms collectively add approximately $24bn assets to CI’s US private wealth business.

Additionally, CI closed the purchase of minority stakes in alternative investment firms Columbia Pacific Advisors (CPA) and GLAS Funds.

These transactions, closed by 31 December 2021, will enable the Canadian wealth manager to better serve high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients in the US.

Additionally, CI further bolsters its capabilities in alternative investments.

CI Financial CEO Kurt MacAlpine said: “We are thrilled to have had such an amazing year of opportunity and growth as we continue join forces with some of the best RIA leaders and teams across the country.

“We are looking forward to another incredible year as we execute on our vision and continue to bring our clients a world-class wealth management experience.”
