CIBC Global Asset Management Inc. has expanded its offering with an extensive suite of new and enhanced institutional pools. These pools span Canadian, U.S. and global equities, as well as Canadian fixed income.
CIBC Canadian Equity All Cap Value Pool draws upon the skills of 17 investment professionals dedicated to Canadian equities. It seeks to provide long term capital growth and enhanced returns while focusing on downside protection to control risk, by investing in a diversified portfolio of small, mid and large cap Canadian listed companies.
CIBC Canadian Equity Large Cap Dividend Value Pool seeks portfolio outperformance over the long term by owning the stocks of large cap “blue chip” companies, with above average yields, and buying those companies when their valuations are below their historic averages.
Both of these pools benefit from CIBC Global Asset Management’s proprietary research modeling and analytics platform.
“Institutional clients can now also benefit from CIBC’s recent 41% investment in top-ranked U.S.-based American Century Investments,” says Duncan Webster, Chief Investment Officer and Head of CIBC Global Asset Management. “Our organizations are similar in that we both have a focus on rigorous research. It has resulted in a strong partnership and has enabled us to create three new actively managed foreign equity pools for our clients.”
CIBC U.S. Equity Value Pool uses fundamental research to identify and invest in quality companies trading below their fair market value.
CIBC U.S. Equity All Cap Growth Pool identifies companies with positive corporate change dynamics which result in earnings and fundamentals improving at an accelerating rate.
CIBC Global Equity Growth (ACWI) Pool uses the same strategies as above to identify global companies in the beginning stages of their growth cycle, with accelerating growth characteristics and other improving fundamentals.
As one of the leaders in fixed income, CIBC Global Asset Management has extensive experience in liability driven investment solutions and manages over $17 billion in corporate credit. To meet increasing pension client demand to curb volatility and manage risk while enhancing yield, four new institutional bond pools have also been launched.
CIBC Canadian Bond 5, 15, & 30 Year Duration Pools have been created to deliver the performance of a blend of Government of Canada and Provincial Bonds of the specified durations.
