HOW TO INVEST IN DIGITAL ASSETS

Cryptocurrencies made simple


Just as the computer and the internet radically transformed the way people store, process and share information, cryptocurrencies have radically enhanced the ways we store, process and exchange value. They are built on blockchains, which is an emerging digital technology with the potential to disrupt everything, including the internet.

Decoding the benefits of digital assets


Digital assets offer a number of advantages to investors including:

  • Low correlation to traditional assets like stocks, bonds and cash
  • Enhanced acceptance as the world becomes more digitized
  • A unique asset with the potential for diversification and growth

CI Bitcoin Fund, CI Ethereum Fund, CI Galaxy Bitcoin ETF, CI Galaxy Ethereum ETF and CI Galaxy Multi-Crypto ETF (the “CI Cryptocurrency Funds”) are mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that invest in the digital cryptocurrencies. Given the speculative nature of cryptocurrency and the volatility of the cryptocurrency markets, there is no assurance that the CI Cryptocurrency Funds will be able to meet their investment objectives. An investment in the CI Cryptocurrency Funds is not intended as a complete investment program and is appropriate only for investors who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment. An investment in the CI Cryptocurrency Funds is considered high risk.

Commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with an investment in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell units of an ETF on recognized Canadian exchanges. If the units are purchased or sold on these Canadian exchanges, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying units of the ETF and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them. Please read the prospectus before investing. Important information about an exchange-traded fund is contained in its prospectus. ETFs are not guaranteed; their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated.

CI Cryptocurrency Funds are alternative mutual funds and have the ability to invest in asset classes and use investment strategies that are not permitted for conventional mutual funds. Galaxy Digital Capital Management LP is the subadvisor for the CI Cryptocurrency Funds. CI Investments Inc. is the manager, trustee, and promoter of CI Cryptocurrency Funds.

Ernst & Young LLP is the auditor of the Canadian Reporting Issuer investment funds managed by CI Global Asset Management or its affiliates (the “Funds”). Ernst & Young LLP is independent with respect to the Funds in the context of the CPA Code of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario. For the year ended March 31, 2024, fees paid or payable to Ernst & Young LLP and its network firms for audit services to the Funds were $2.2 million. Fees for other services were $0.4 million.
