Experience our multi-faceted approach
In close collaboration with experts from across CIBC, as well as your external advisors, we work with you to provide a bespoke and elevated experience in four key areas:
Stewardship
We have extensive experience in building, customizing and stewarding solutions from across CIBC to meet the needs of your family enterprise. While our Family Office team has numerous administrative and technical responsibilities, above all they seek to nurture a long-term, multi-generational relationship founded on trust.
Personal Financial Management
Whether you need a simple bank account or a complex lending facility, our Private Banking team works closely with you, your family and your external advisors to meet your needs through unique and customized cash management, as well as credit and lending solutions.
Family Enterprise Advisory and Succession Planning
Each family enterprise is its own unique ecosystem, but they all have one common characteristic: the overlap of family, ownership and business issues. Our experts address planning needs that are critical to your family enterprise continuity including business succession, family governance, family legacy, family risk management and strategic philanthropy.
Investment Management
Experience unique access to our institutional due diligence capabilities, customized solutions and expertise in designing appropriately diversified portfolios. We provide objectivity, expertise and significant scale through resourcing best in-class portfolio managers that meet the goals, risk profile and time horizon of your family enterprise.
