SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 14, 2026 – Canadian General Investments (CGI) has been building shareholder value for nearly a century, making it one of the longest-running investment vehicles focused on the Canadian equity market.

As of early April 2026, the fund's share price stood at $48.00 with a net asset value per share of $85.16 and a yield of 2.3%.

The firm's lineup of exchange-traded funds is designed to give investors a more active, adaptable alternative. Its product range spans single stocks, multi-sector strategies, sector themes, and brand-name indexes — covering a wide variety of income goals and risk appetites.
