ONE PORTFOLIO. MULTIPLE ADVANTAGES.

Studies have shown that strategic asset allocation—the act of diversifying your investments across asset classes—may be the most important factor in portfolio performance. Managed portfolio solutions offer comprehensive asset allocation in a single investment, which may be why institutional investors have long used them for managing, preserving and growing their wealth.
 

Sophisticated solutions in simple packages


CI Managed Portfolio Solutions are designed by an experienced team of asset allocation experts and are built to align with your unique objectives and preferences. They also offer:

  • Multi-layered diversification that we believe can provide all-weather performance

  • Tactical active management to help avoid risks or capture opportunities in the short term 

  • Risk management oversight to help reduce downside risk and keep you on track toward your long-term goals

SOLUTIONS ALIGNED WITH YOUR GOALS

All CI Managed Portfolio Solutions programs are eligible for registered plan types, TFSA, and as non-registered investments. Initial minimum investment is $500.

DIVERSIFICATION ON MULTIPLE LEVELS

We believe active management stretches beyond the practice of strategy selection. We strategically build each portfolio to provide holistic asset allocation and broad diversification using a selection of proven portfolio managers across an array of asset class types, styles and market capitalization. In order to provide the potential to perform in multiple environments, we may include:

  • Geographic allocations to provide diversification across different regions
  • Real assets like infrastructure, real estate and commodities that provide the potential to enhance income, improve total return, provide downside strength and lower correlations
  • Liquid alternatives to focus on absolute return and risk reduction through non-correlated portfolios

ACTIVELY MANAGING PORTFOLIOS AND RISK

We use a disciplined process with sophisticated risk management. Portfolio holdings are continually monitored and tactically reset to align with evolving opportunities, while remaining consistent with strategic risk and return objectives. This active asset allocation and management approach can help protect and grow portfolios, while keeping you on track toward your distinct goals.
