Corporate Structure

Overview

CIBC Asset Management thrives under a multi-team model. Each team focuses on its field of expertise to ensure that CIBC Asset Management delivers superior products, innovative solutions and exemplary customer service. In addition, the separation of investment management from corporate business management further increases the level of focus and rigour within the investment process.

Investment Management unites a team of individuals, all sharing a clear and consistent investment philosophy. One of the most in-depth investment management platforms in Canada, CIBC Asset Management's near-70 professionals combine their knowledge, talent and experience to manage a wide variety of products.

Client Servicing, through its activities, strives to embody one of CIBC Asset Management's guiding principles: the client is our number one priority. Responsible to ensure that our clients understand all aspects of our investment process, our servicing managers adopt a personal and professional approach in building long-term client relationships. The Client Servicing team is responsible for institutional client servicing activities in Canada and abroad.

Business Development capitalizes on its industry experience to build CIBC Asset Management's presence in all markets where the firm elects to compete. The team is responsible for developing and executing strategies to grow CIBC Asset Management's business and manage the firm's various distribution channels in the retail and institutional marketplaces globally.

Our Corporate Management team directs the entire firm, providing guidance to the organization through its sound business strategy and rigorous corporate policies.

By continuously improving internal communication and promoting the sharing of information and knowledge, we capitalize on the synergies created by the interaction among the various teams. Our corporate structure enables us to best meet the needs of our clients and compete with top-tier investment management firms.
