CI Rebrands 37 Former Invesco Funds and ETFs Following Acquisition
Fresh off its acquisition of Invesco Canada's fund business, CI GAM is rebranding 37 funds as it expands its presence in the Canadian ETF market.
CI Global Asset Management (CI GAM) is moving ahead with the integration of Invesco Canada's investment fund business, announcing the rebranding of 37 mutual funds and ETFs following the completion of its acquisition of the management agreements for 98 Invesco Canada funds.
The name changes are expected to take effect on or around July 31, 2026, subject to regulatory approval.
Two Distinct ETF Rebranding Approaches
On the ETF side, CI is taking a two-tiered approach. ETFs that primarily gain exposure through U.S.-listed Invesco ETFs will be rebranded under the "CI Invesco" banner.
This includes several well-known products such as the CI Invesco NASDAQ 100 Index ETF (QQC), CI Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Index ETF (EQL), and CI Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility Index ETF (ULV).
The remaining ETFs will simply transition to the CI brand.
Notable examples include the CI Morningstar Global Next Gen AI Index ETF (INAI), CI Morningstar Global Energy Transition Index ETF (IGET), CI NASDAQ 100 Equal Weight Index ETF (QQEQ), CI ESG NASDAQ 100 Index ETF (QQCE), and several fixed income and dividend-focused strategies.
Importantly for investors, ticker symbols will remain unchanged across all ETFs, minimizing operational disruption and preserving continuity for advisors and existing shareholders.
What the Rebranding Means for Investors
The rebranding marks another major milestone in CI GAM's effort to expand its ETF footprint and absorb one of Canada's most recognizable ETF lineups. Although the Invesco name will remain in fund titles until the changes become effective, Invesco Canada and its affiliates have not provided management or portfolio management services to these funds since the transaction closed on June 1, 2026.
The transition further consolidates Canada's ETF landscape, with CI GAM inheriting several flagship index, factor, ESG, dividend, and NASDAQ-focused strategies that collectively represent a significant portion of the former Invesco Canada ETF platform.
