Grant Samuel Funds Management rebrands


Fund manager, Grant Samuel Funds Management, has announced that it officially rebranded to GSFM on 25 March, following the acquisition by Canadian wealth management firm CI Financial Corp.
The Canada-based firm acquired an 80 per cent stake previously held in the business by corporate advisory firm Grant Samuel and a number of executives.
GSFM’s chief executive, Damien McIntyre, said that the new name would reflect the firm’s heritage, with Grant Samuel, and its future as a part of CI Financial Corp, which is a publicly-listed company.
“A new brand – including name, visual identity and theme – reflects our ability to access the best solutions for our clients from around the world,” he said.
“Our long-term strategic plan is based on developing enduring partnerships with clients and partners, both locally and internationally, to offer investments not readily available in the Australian market.
