managed account (“SMA”) program1. By combining the objective guidance and monitoring of the CIBC

Asset Management Investment Management Research team and the investment expertise of many global

investment managers, ICS offers investors a customizable investment solution that can help them achieve

their long-term financial objectives.

To identify managers whose investment strategies and proven track records make them suitable for

process, the Investment Management Research team conducts extensive interviews with senior members

of the investment management organization and on-site visits to appraise investment strategies,

portfolios, performance measurement, risk management policies, client servicing and back office

operational practices.

Once suitable investment managers are selected, the Investment Management Research team continues

to monitor them on both a qualitative and quantitative basis to ensure they retain the underlying

qualities of excellence that initially enabled them to become part of ICS.

The Investment Management Research team focuses on four key areas in their evaluation:people, investment process, philosophy and performance.
