TORONTO, May 1, 2017 /CNW/ - CI Investments Inc. ("CI") today
launched its new CI Preferred Pricing™ and CI Private Wealth™ programs, providing eligible investors with the
benefit of automatically applied fee discounts. CI Preferred Pricing and CI Private Wealth make use of the same pricing model and
are designed with investors and advisors in mind. Eligible client-name accounts are auto-enrolled in the CI Private Wealth
program.
The pricing model will apply a flat fee rate to all eligible assets, also known as dollar-one
pricing. Once an investor's qualifying assets in an account reach various thresholds, assets in CI's Class A (ISC) and F, as well
as Evolution Private Managed Accounts' Class E (ISC) and F (United Funds), will be automatically switched to the appropriate fee
tier to receive the discount. Weekly market value assessments will ensure discounted pricing is applied in a timely manner,
positive market value changes will influence fee tier levels, and investors will not be penalized for negative fund performance.
There will be no tax consequences for these switches, as the funds remain the same.
"These automatic switches ensure that as investor's assets reach certain thresholds, available discounted pricing is
automatically applied," said Roy Ratnavel, Executive Vice-President and National Sales Manager of
CI. "With Preferred Pricing, fees are simplified for the client by being straightforward and transparent."
Price discounts for most funds start at the $150,000 per account level, and increase as client asset levels rise.
Also, extended family groups with aggregate asset levels of $250,000 or more can be linked for pricing purposes,
generating additional discounts.
