Mackenzie introduces four ETFs, offering access to global markets and resource investments
Mackenzie Investments has introduced four new exchange-traded funds (ETFs), now available for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The actively managed ETFs aim to provide portfolio diversification, drawing on the expertise of Mackenzie’s investment teams. The funds include Mackenzie Global Equity ETF, Mackenzie International Equity ETF, Mackenzie Bluewater Next Gen Growth ETF, and Mackenzie Core Resources ETF.
Both the Mackenzie Global Equity ETF and Mackenzie International Equity ETF target portfolio diversification through global market investments. These ETFs focus on risk management and maintaining consistent portfolio structures for investors.
The Mackenzie International Equity ETF broadens exposure beyond North America, balancing portfolios that may be concentrated in US-based equity funds.
These two ETFs are managed by the Mackenzie Global Quantitative Equity Team, which uses a combination of data science and human expertise to generate alpha while managing risks.
“There are a number of opportunities available in both global and international markets to enhance portfolio diversification,” noted Prerna Mathews, VP, ETF Product and Strategy at Mackenzie Investments.
“The Mackenzie Global Equity ETF and Mackenzie International Equity ETF give investors new access to different markets and economies, led by a knowledgeable team who employ an innovative and holistic quantitative approach to investing.”
The Mackenzie Bluewater Next Gen Growth ETF is managed by the Mackenzie Bluewater Team, which focuses on global, profitable companies identified for their innovation potential.
The selected companies are expected to leverage innovations in products, services, or business models to create new revenue streams and drive long-term growth.
“With the new Mackenzie Bluewater Next Gen Growth ETF, we offer investors a chance to be involved in the innovative investment space while seeking to minimize risk. Their investments can be led by secular trends, but also have the dependability of anticipated long-term growth,” explained Mathews.
The Mackenzie Core Resources ETF, managed by the Mackenzie Resource Team, offers investors exposure to global natural resources. This ETF is designed as a foundational investment in a diversified portfolio, leveraging global demand for resources such as energy, materials, and precious metals.
The Resource Team relies on economic data to position investments and reduce volatility, offering a more stable approach to resource investing.
Active management is used to minimize timing risks and optimize returns in a sector that can be challenging for advisors and investors to manage independently.
“This is an attractive option for those who want to explore or prioritize investing in the resource sector and its various subsectors, including energy, materials, and precious metals, within their portfolios. The active management of the ETF reduces timing risk and offers the potential for lower volatility, which can be attractive to investors, particularly in a more complex area to navigate,” Mathews added.
