About

CIBC Private Wealth Advisors provides investment advisory and wealth advisory services to a broad client base including individuals (including high net worth clients), families, trusts, employee benefit plans, corporations and, notably, investment companies. Services described in the brochure include portfolio management (both discretionary and non-discretionary), financial, estate and philanthropic planning, manager selection, access to options strategies and, on request, coordinated Family Office services for complex needs.

The firm’s investment process combines an internal investment team, Relationship Managers and governance through an Investment Policy Committee and an Asset Allocation Committee to build customized separate accounts, model portfolios and managed account programs. It uses a mix of proprietary offerings and external managers, licenses its own benchmark indices for product development, and offers strategies that can include options hedges and structured notes as part of portfolio implementation.

What distinguishes the firm among large enterprises is its scale relative to advisor headcount — the brochure reports about $67.8 billion in assets with 175 advisors, implying materially higher AUM per advisor than most peers — and its involvement with investment company clients and portfolio management for investment companies (including acting as adviser to several CIBC Atlas funds). The firm also operates within a family of affiliates (for example, CIBC National Trust Company) that provide private placement, trustee and related services and participates in referral and platform programs such as the Schwab Advisor Network and Fidelity Wealth Advisor Solutions.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
