CIBC and CIBC Global Asset Management expand access to existing ETF strategies with three new mutual funds

EmitenTrust.com TORONTO, Oct. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) – CIBC and CIBC Global Asset Management™ announced today three new mutual funds, including the CIBC All-Equity Growth ETF Portfolio and two Avantis CIBC funds, giving advisors and investors broader access to ETF strategies in a mutual fund format. The new mutual funds are:

"We are excited to expand these core investment exposures in a low-cost mutual fund structure. Our goal is to provide investors with more choice and flexibility when investing in our strategies, whether they prefer investing through an ETF or mutual fund vehicle," said Meric Koksal, EVP and Head at CIBC Global Asset Management. "Each portfolio complements our existing suite and provides exposure to broad-based equity markets."

CIBC now offers four core CIBC ETF Portfolios in both ETF and mutual fund structures, designed for investors with different investment goals and risk profiles while providing a simple, efficient way to build a well-diversified portfolio.

The CIBC All-Equity Growth ETF Portfolio completes the CIBC ETF Portfolios lineup with a simple, single-ticket all-equity solution for long-term growth-oriented investors. The fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified mix of underlying exchange-traded funds that provide broad 100% equity exposure across U.S., Canadian, international developed, and emerging markets.

The two Avantis CIBC ETF Funds offer a research-driven approach to global equity investing, and provide greater access to investment opportunities to help clients achieve their goals:

• The Avantis CIBC International Equity ETF Fund provides exposure to equity securities across developed markets by investing in the Avantis CIBC International Equity ETF (CADE).
• The Avantis CIBC All-Equity Asset Allocation ETF Fund provides diversified exposure to equities in developed and emerging markets by investing in the Avantis CIBC All-Equity Asset-Allocation ETF (CAGE).
