Proof Required?
CIBC has agreed to pay C$11 million to resolve a class action lawsuit related to trailing commissions charged on mutual funds, including Renaissance Mutual Funds. Trailing commissions are fees that fund companies pay to advisors over time β€” the lawsuit alleged that these fees were charged in ways that weren't fair to investors. If you held CIBC or Renaissance Mutual Funds at any point, you may be entitled to a share of this settlement. The good news is that if you're a current CIBC or Renaissance Mutual Fund holder, you don't need to do anything β€” your payment will be made automatically. However, if you're a former CIBC fund holder who no longer holds these investments, you will need to file a claim before the November 18, 2026 deadline to receive your portion of the settlement. This settlement is open to Canadian investors, not U.S. residents, so eligibility is based on your history as a CIBC or Renaissance Mutual Fund account holder. Keep reading to find out if you qualify and what steps to take.

File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page. Class Action Buddy does not support this settlement in the app, so the administrator’s own claim process is the route. Check whether the form asks for an ID or PIN from the notice you were sent before you start.

What were the trailing commissions in the CIBC class action about?

Trailing commissions are ongoing fees paid by mutual fund companies to financial advisors.

CIBC agreed to pay C$11 million to settle these claims without admitting wrongdoing.
