/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA./

TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2019 /CNW/ - CI First Asset Exchange Traded Funds, a division of CI Investments Inc., is pleased to announce that CI First Asset MSCI World ESG Impact ETF (the "ETF") has closed the initial offering of its units and the units will commence trading today on the NEO Exchange Inc. under the ticker symbols CESG and CESG.B. CESG are Canadian dollar hedged common units and CESG.B are unhedged common units.

The ETF (other than the unhedged common units) has been designed to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the MSCI World ESG Select Impact ex Fossil Fuels Index Hedged to CAD (the "Hedged Index"), net of expenses. In respect of the Unhedged Common Units, the ETF has been designed to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the MSCI World ESG Select Impact ex Fossil Fuels Index (the "Unhedged Index" and, together with the Hedged Index, the "Indexes"), net of expenses.

Each of the Indexes is designed to represent the performance of a strategy that targets large and mid-cap companies in 23 developed countries that have the highest environmental, social and governance ("ESG") performance, and those whose products and/or services are positively impacting one or more of the themes of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Negative screening is also applied to determine the Indexes' final constituents.
