- CI First Asset U.S. Buyback Index ETF (FBU.TO) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the CIBC U.S. Buyback Index (now associated with Solactive U.S. Large Cap methodologies or S&P 500 Buyback Index components), net of expenses, by investing primarily in equity securities of large-cap U.S. issuers engaged in share buyback activities; it provides exposure to companies with significant stock repurchase programs within the U.S. equity market. The ETF offers investors a passive investment vehicle focused on buyback strategies, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking U.S. large-cap growth through corporate capital returns. Launched in 2016 and listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the ETF operates under CI Global Asset Management Inc. (CI GAM), a subsidiary of CI Financial Corp., with headquarters in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. CI GAM manages the fund as part of its broader lineup of over 100 ETFs, emphasizing smart beta and index-tracking strategies across equity, fixed income, and alternative assets; geographic focus remains on U.S. equities with Canadian investor accessibility. In recent developments, CI Financial, the parent entity, completed a significant strategic shift in August 2025 through its acquisition by Mubadala Capital in a C$12.1 billion take-private transaction, providing enhanced global capital resources and network access to accelerate ETF expansions, including growth in U.S.-focused products like FBU.TO, while maintaining operational independence. Earlier, in 2019, the fund underwent a rebranding from First Asset U.S. Buyback Index ETF to CI First Asset U.S. Buyback Index ETF following CI's acquisition of First Asset Capital Corp., integrating it into CI's expanded ETF platform. Ongoing distributions, such as those announced for December 2025, reflect continued operational stability and investor payouts amid routine index rebalancing.
