According to the bank, the rise in revenue was primarily due to the acquisition of Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management, higher assets under management (AUM) driven by market appreciation and net sales of long-term mutual funds, and higher fee-based revenue.
For the first quarter, wealth management continued its progress in support of the firm’s strategic priority to build its wealth management platform.
Overall, CIBC group reported net income of C$923m, compared with C$1177m for the first quarter a year ago.
