TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$CSBA #CIBC—NEO is proud to welcome CIBC Asset Management (“CIBC AM”), the asset management subsidiary of CIBC, for their first-ever listings on the NEO Exchange with the launch of six actively managed, sustainable ETFs. CIBC has now become the 20th ETF Manager to list on NEO.
Seeking to align with the investing values of socially responsible investors, the six ETFs launched by CIBC are as follows:
- CIBC Sustainable Canadian Core Plus Bond Fund – ETF Series (CSCP)

“We are excited to partner with NEO as we launch the ETF series of our Sustainable Investment Solutions, which leverages CIBC Asset Management’s strong history of responsible investing practices and our established best-in-class ESG framework,” said David Scandiffio, President and CEO of CIBC Asset Management.
David Stephenson, Head of ETF Strategy at CIBC Asset Management shared his own sentiments about the ETF launch: “Launching innovative solutions requires partnering with innovators. We chose NEO because of their track record of innovation which they have demonstrated in their ETF closing price methodology as well as their advocacy for making better market data accessible to investors. NEO has been a strong advocate for advancing the ETF industry as a whole and they have the insights and resources to help grow our ETF lineup. All factors considered, NEO was a clear choice for this launch.”
