GSFM, with CI Global Asset Management (CI GAM) as investment manager of the underlying funds, has launched the CI Global Private Markets Growth Fund and CI Global Private Markets Income Fund in Australia, which respectively invest in multi-manager, open-architecture funds-of-funds seeded by, and managed by CI GAM. The strategies are available to institutional, wholesale and family office investors.

CI GAM is one of Canada’s largest investment management firms and an affiliate of GSFM. Founded in 1965, it offers a comprehensive selection of traditional and alternative strategies to individual and institutional investors.

GSFM CEO Damien McIntyre says the interest in private markets is growing among Australian investors, but that not all private market funds are created equal.
