CI Global Asset Management (CI GAM) has rolled out a new mutual fund that offers investors exposure to cryptocurrency Ether.
The asset manager has entirely waived the management fee of 0.40% for the new fund until 15 June 2021.
It also announced a 1% management expense ratio (MER) for the fund.
The CI Ethereum Fund builds on CI GAM’s Ethereum ETF, which was unveiled last week.
CI Financial CEO Kurt MacAlpine said: “CI Global Asset Management is the only company in the world offering convenient, low-cost and secure exposure to the two largest cryptocurrencies through both ETFs and mutual funds.
He further said: “Building a leadership position in the digital assets sector as it becomes increasingly mainstream is an important part of CI GAM’s mission to offer investors timely and relevant investment solutions in the product structure they prefer.”
