Company Announcements

TORONTO , Aug. 25, 2025 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) – CIBC Asset Management Inc. (CAM) today announced the launch of four new CIBC Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) —three covered call ETFs and one all-equity ETF — each fund managed by CIBC's experienced portfolio management and derivatives teams.

"CIBC Asset Management is proud to expand our suite of solutions to meet the evolving needs of investors," notes Greg Gipson, Managing Director & Head, Exchange Traded Funds, Global Asset Management. "Our new covered call and all-equity ETFs offer income potential and the benefit of CIBC's active portfolio management expertise."

The CIBC covered call ETFs are designed to address investors' need for stable investment solutions by combining a fundamentally-driven, concentrated portfolio of high-quality, dividend-paying stocks with a disciplined, actively managed covered call strategy to help lower portfolio volatility and proactively adapt to changing market conditions. These ETFs aim to deliver steady monthly cash flow through a combination of dividend yield and option premiums, while also seeking to participate in the growth potential of leading companies. Backed by over 50 years of CIBC Asset Management expertise and a rigorous investment process rooted in fundamental and technical analysis, these ETFs offer one of the most competitive management fee structures in the Canadian market — helping investors achieve their financial goals.

The CIBC All-Equity ETF Portfolio invests primarily in CIBC index ETFs that provide broad-based equity exposure, with the objective of achieving long-term capital appreciation and offers investors a simple and efficient all-in-one equity solution. This portfolio offers diversification across various geographic regions and market capitalizations. It is priced at a competitive 0.15% management fee, making it a low-cost investment option with built in strategic asset allocation and regular portfolio rebalancing.

The CIBC ETFs have closed their initial offerings of units and trade today on the Toronto Stock Exchange. More details on the new CIBC ETFs and CAM's complete ETF line-up can be found on CIBC'S ETF website.
