TORONTO, June 27, 2016 /CNW/ - Mackenzie Financial
Corporation (Mackenzie Investments) announced today it has launched two mutual funds that address the needs of investors for low
volatility solutions, and global diversification.
"Investors want to manage volatility while achieving long-term capital growth. These funds provide opportunities in overseas
markets while also aiming to give investors a smoother equity experience," said Michael Schnitman,
Senior Vice President of Product for Mackenzie Investments.
Mackenzie Ivy International Equity Fund employs the proven Ivy investment style. The Fund pursues long-term capital
growth, investing in high-quality companies that are expected to grow at above average rates, consistent with the protection of
capital. Ivy defines a high-quality company as one that exhibits a strong return on invested capital, maintains a strong balance
sheet, generates significant amounts of free cash flow, and is supported by a corporate culture that focuses on maintaining a
competitive edge. The securities in Mackenzie Ivy International Equity Fund are primarily equities of companies located in three
principal market regions outside of North America: the UK and Europe; Asia and the Far East; and Australia
and New Zealand.
Mackenzie Global Low Volatility Fund is designed for investors who are seeking a global equity portfolio with lower
volatility than a traditional equity portfolio and is managed by Irish Life Investment Managers, a global industry leader with
proven competency in quantitative research and strategy development over 15 years. The Fund is designed to help investors navigate
volatile markets while maintaining global equity returns over the longer term. The Fund approaches risk in a unique manner that
employs an active quantitative strategy to manage market risk and protect against volatile market swings. It can be used as a core
equity holding or a low-risk component of an equity portfolio.
