CIBC Global Asset Management launches private infrastructure fund with J.P. Morgan Asset Management

TORONTO, June 30, 2026 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) CIBC Global Asset Management* (CIBC GAM) today announced the launch of the CIBC Private Infrastructure Fund, advancing the firm's expansion into private markets and its collaboration with J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM).

The fund is designed, in partnership with JPMAM's Alternative Investments Strategy & Solutions (AISS) team, to offer Canadian accredited investors direct access to institutional-grade private infrastructure. It provides exposure to essential physical services that support society and is structured to help insulate investors from traditional macroeconomic and market cycles.

"In today's challenging economic climate, building resilient portfolios means looking further than the usual mix of public equities and fixed income," said David Wong, Group Chief Investment Officer at CIBC Global Asset Management. "Investors need solutions that can weather uncertainty and adapt to shifting market conditions, and that's why we're excited to offer access to private infrastructure."

The CIBC Private Infrastructure Fund offers four key advantages for investors:

• Contractual inflation protection: The fund's underlying assets generate inflation-linked cash flows, providing a natural hedge against rising prices.
• Institutional scale: Investors gain access to large, essential infrastructure and transportation networks around the world.
• Portfolio diversification: With a low correlation to volatile public equities and fixed-income markets, the fund helps protect capital during public market downturns.
• Proven track record: The strategy draws on J.P. Morgan's decades of experience in active asset management, rigorous risk oversight and strong net returns in global real assets.

"We're pleased to deepen our collaboration with CIBC and bring institutional asset management expertise to Canadian private wealth clients," said Travis Hughes, Head of Canada at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. "This fund offers investors a sophisticated option built on disciplined investment practices and rigorous risk management, designed to support long-term capital growth."

This launch represents a significant step in CIBC Global Asset Management's commitment to product innovation, providing investors with distinctive access to global alternative investments.
