CEO
CI Financial
Kurt MacAlpine was appointed CEO and director of CI Financial in September 2019 after previously serving as executive vice-president and head of global distribution for WisdomTree Asset Management, WisdomTree’s Canadian ETF business, which officially became part of CI in February 2020. The deal, which had been in the works for a while, added 14 TSX-listed ETFs with approximately $1 billion in AUM to CI’s family of ETFs, increasing CI’s ETF assets to more than $10 billion. It also put CI First Asset in fifth place among the largest ETF providers in Canada.
In addition to CI First Asset, other CI Financial companies under MacAlpine’s purview include CI Investments, Assante Wealth Management, CI Private Counsel, GSFM, WealthBar Financial Services and BBS Securities.
