CI Global Asset Management Launches CI Structured Premium Yield Fund, Offering Monthly Income and Enhanced Yields
TORONTO (January 28, 2025) – CI Global Asset Management (“CI GAM”) announces the launch today of CI Structured Premium Yield Fund (the “Fund”), a new income solution designed to deliver the enhanced yields typically offered by structured notes.
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with the opportunity for regular distributions by replicating the outcome of an actively managed portfolio of diversified structured notes, primarily through investing in derivatives and/or structured notes that provide exposure to North American and/or global equity indexes and securities. Structured notes are debt instruments that pay a return based on the performance of a reference asset, such as a stock market index or a basket of stocks or commodities. Structured notes may include conditional principal protection, which can protect against moderate equity market declines.
The CI GAM investment team actively manages the Fund’s exposure to indexes, markets and global industry sectors, as well as the maturity dates and protection levels of the underlying structured notes portfolio, to manage risk and enhance returns. The Fund pays a monthly distribution and has a risk rating of Low-to-Medium.
“CI Structured Premium Yield Fund is a compelling choice for investors seeking a higher-yielding and stable monthly income stream,” said Jennifer Sinopoli, Executive Vice-President and Head of Distribution for CI GAM. “As an actively managed fund, it stands out within the enhanced yield fund segment due to the expertise of our investment management team, who bring to bear extensive experience in managing income and equity-income portfolios.”
The Fund’s three lead portfolio managers – Geofrey Marshall, Kevin McSweeney and Lee Goldman – have more than 80 years of combined investment experience and are backed by the deep bench strength of CI GAM’s income and equity investment teams. CI GAM currently manages over $7 billion in high-yield and diversified income funds.
“CI Structured Premium Yield Fund also allows advisors and investors to access the benefits of structured notes through the convenience and simplicity of the mutual fund structure,” Ms. Sinopoli said. “The Fund offers a low minimum investment, professional management and built-in diversification, removing the need for advisors to continually analyze and manage individual notes.”
In addition to Series I, the Fund is being offered in Series F and P, with a management fee of 0.55%, and Series A, with a management fee of 1.55%.
