CI Financial Corp. (“CI”) (TSX: CIX, NYSE: CIXX) today reported preliminary assets under management as at December 31, 2021 of $152.1 billion and wealth management assets of $232.0 billion, for total assets of $384.1 billion.

In December, CI completed the previously announced acquisitions of registered investment advisor firms CPWM, LLC of Seattle (which does business as Columbia Pacific Wealth Management), Gofen & Glossberg, LLC of Chicago, RegentAtlantic Capital, LLC of Morristown, N.J., and R.H. Bluestein & Co. of Birmingham, Mich., and completed minority investments in alternative investment firms Columbia Pacific Advisors, LLC of Seattle and GLAS Funds, LLC of Cleveland. The six firms manage combined assets of approximately $39.4 billion.

CI also reported preliminary net sales results for its asset management businesses. Overall net sales in the fourth quarter of 2021 were flat, with net sales for the year reaching $0.3 billion. As a result, 2021 was the first year of positive net sales since 2015. In comparison, CI had total net redemptions of $8.8 billion in 2020. CI’s Canadian retail business recorded net sales of $0.8 billion in 2021, versus net redemptions of $4.9 billion for the prior year.

“CI had a tremendous year with our total assets growing by more than $152 billion or 66%, due to acquisitions, strong organic growth across our wealth management business, and a significant improvement in asset management flows,” said Kurt MacAlpine, CI Chief Executive Officer.

“We continued to execute well across the organization on our strategic priorities of modernizing asset management, expanding wealth management and globalizing our company. In the U.S., we added 15 registered investment advisors to our network during the year and completed minority investments in two alternative investment firms, making our U.S. operations our largest line of business by assets. We now have 23 exceptional RIAs across the U.S. and we see continued momentum and growth as we work to build the country’s leading private wealth platform serving high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients.

“In asset management, we achieved positive annual net flows for the first time in six years. These results reflect the many changes we have made to transform that business and the impressive improvements in overall investment performance.”
