Corient, a Miami-based RIA and CI Financial subsidiary, will enter Canada in June 2026, integrating assets and advisors from Northwood Family Office, Coriel Capital, and select CI Private Wealth advisors, pending regulatory approval.
The move aims to address a gap for global independent wealth management in Canada, expanding Corient’s reach to manage CA$650 billion globally and strengthening its multi-family office and ultra-high-net-worth services.
This Canadian expansion follows Corient’s recent European acquisition agreements and reflects CI Financial’s broader strategy, including its 2023 privatization and ongoing competition with major U.S. RIAs in the wealth management sector.
