CI Investments launches high interest savings mutual fund

TORONTO, July 31, 2019 /CNW/ - CI Investments ("CI") is pleased to announce the launch of CI High Interest Savings Fund (the "Fund"), a mutual fund designed to maximize monthly income for unitholders while preserving capital and liquidity. The Fund will invest in units of the recently launched CI First Asset High Interest Savings ETF (TSX: CSAV) (the "ETF"), which invests primarily in high interest deposit accounts.

"A well-diversified portfolio includes a cash component that provides liquidity and convenience," said Rohit Mehta, President of CI First Asset Exchange Traded Funds, a division of CI Investments Inc. "The positive reception we've had regarding the ETF is encouraging and confirms that there is demand for this type of product in many Canadians' portfolios."

The potential benefits of CI High Interest Savings Fund include:

• Greater earnings potential on cash balances – The Fund, via investment in ETF units, provides exposure to high interest savings accounts with an attractive yield of approximately 2.10%, offering unitholders a compelling alternative to holding cash directly
• Low cost – The management fee of both the ETF and Class F mutual fund is only 0.14%
• Liquidity – Easy access to cash and no short-term trading restrictions mean investors have efficient access to their cash savings.

The launch of the Fund follows the ETF launch on June 18, 2019. They share an identical mandate and investment objective. For more information please visit our website.
