Complete Wealth Management

CI Assante Wealth Management (“Assante”) was a pioneer and continues to be a leader in delivering complete wealth management solutions. We believe that clients are better served by a comprehensive approach to planning that incorporates all aspects of their financial lives — investment, retirement, insurance, tax, estate and philanthropic planning.

Accomplished Advisors

We are distinguished by our highly professional team of advisors and their focus on meeting your needs. Our advisors are committed to continually enhancing their skills through ongoing training, education, and professional development.

Bench Strength

Your advisor is positioned to be your key resource to oversee all aspects of your financial affairs and can work with you to provide a customized wealth management plan. But your advisor is not alone in this effort. With access to a range of professionals who are experts in their field — investment analysts, portfolio managers, lawyers, accountants, estate and insurance specialists, wealth planners, banking, and mortgage specialists — your advisor can draw on these resources as needed to tailor personalized solutions for you and your family.

Investment Expertise

Your Assante advisor has access to a broad range of investment, insurance, risk management and cash management offerings, as well as an exclusive suite of managed portfolios, including Evolution Private Managed Portfolios managed by CI Investments Inc. For high-net-worth clients with more complex wealth planning needs, we work exclusively with the professionals of CI Assante Private Client, a division of CI Private Counsel LP. Using active management from portfolio managers around the world, these leading solutions combine investment expertise with wealth planning strategies.

Our ability to deliver service and support to your advisor, so they can effectively meet your needs, is dependent on the successful stewardship of our organization. We are led by a seasoned group of executives who are accredited, known for their achievements in fostering growth and innovation within the financial services industry, and have been chosen to drive the company’s success now and long into the future.
