CI Financial reports assets under management for December 2019

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, Jan. 6, 2020 /CNW/ - CI Financial Corp. ("CI") (TSX: CIX) today reported preliminary assets under management at December 31, 2019 of $132.1 billion and total assets of $181.9 billion.

Assets under management increased by 0.2% in the month of December and 6.2% year over year. CI's average assets under management for the fourth quarter were $130.9 billion, an increase of 0.8% compared to the average for the third quarter of 2019.

CI also reported preliminary sales results for the fourth quarter of 2019 of $2.0 billion in overall net redemptions. CI's Canadian retail business, excluding products closed to new investors, had $0.4 billion in net redemptions, representing an improvement of $1.0 billion over the third quarter of 2019 and an improvement of $1.9 billion over the fourth quarter of 2018. CI's Canadian institutional business had $1.5 billion in net redemptions. Of this, $1.2 billion was due to accounts that a client moved from CI to its own in-house portfolio manager. As noted in the third quarter results conference call, CI had been notified in the first quarter of this move and it will not have a significant impact on results, given that they were lower-margin accounts. CI's international business had net sales of $0.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2019, while CI's closed business, comprised primarily of segregated fund contracts that are no longer available for sale, had $0.2 billion in net redemptions for the quarter.

CI reported assets under advisement of $49.8 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of 1.4% in the month of December and 19.1% year over year. This includes assets at Assante Wealth Management (Canada) Ltd., Stonegate Private Counsel and since January 2019, WealthBar Financial Services Inc.
