CI Bitcoin Fund, CI Ethereum Fund, CI Galaxy Bitcoin ETF, CI Galaxy Ethereum ETF and CI Galaxy Multi-Crypto ETF (the “CI Cryptocurrency Funds”) are mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that invest in the digital cryptocurrencies. Given the speculative nature of cryptocurrency and the volatility of the cryptocurrency markets, there is no assurance that the CI Cryptocurrency Funds will be able to meet their investment objectives. An investment in the CI Cryptocurrency Funds is not intended as a complete investment program and is appropriate only for investors who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment. An investment in the CI Cryptocurrency Funds is considered high risk.
Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with an investment in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Please read the prospectus before investing. Important information about mutual funds and ETFs is contained in their respective prospectus. Mutual funds and ETFs are not guaranteed; their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated. You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell units of an ETF on recognized Canadian exchanges. If the units are purchased or sold on these Canadian exchanges, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying units of the ETF and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them.
CI Cryptocurrency Funds are alternative mutual funds and have the ability to invest in asset classes and use investment strategies that are not permitted for conventional mutual funds. Galaxy Digital Capital Management LP is the subadvisor for the CI Cryptocurrency Funds. CI Investments Inc. is the manager, trustee, and promoter of CI Cryptocurrency Funds.
