Investment philosophy

Mackenzie funds are divided into several fund families to distinguish the primary investment styles of the different funds. Each fund family maintains a focused mandate, providing an established set of objectives on behalf of investors to ensure a managed level of risk and volatility. Ultimately, the success of each fund depends on the individual manager's philosophy, knowledge, judgement and intuition. Each manager draws support from a specialized back-up team as well as information from global sources and others within Mackenzie in both Canada and around the world.

Maxxum

The Maxxum funds provide a core Canadian solution for long-term investors by providing a strong foundation for any well-diversified portfolio. The funds are characterized by 2 investment styles: Focus on yield and conservative growth.

Ivy

Mackenzie’s Ivy funds follow a blended management style centered on bottom-up fundamental investment research and business analysis. They are buying a business and not just buying a stock. Their bottom-up approach means they place less emphasis on short-term market movements or economic or industry outlooks.

Universal

The Universal funds offer an array of core Canadian, U.S. and international equity investment funds that take a growth-oriented approach to investing. Investment managers for the Universal funds, proven practitioners, are chosen from around the world for their long-standing experience and expertise. The firms and individual managers directing the funds for Mackenzie’s Universal fund family have a strong presence within their region or sector of expertise.

Sentinel

The Sentinel Funds are Mackenzie's family of income-oriented funds including domestic bond, global bond, tax-efficient and money market funds, managed in a manner consistent with a disciplined value investment philosophy.
