Mackenzie Investments announces fund mergers, changes

Mackenzie Financial Corporation has announced that investors have approved the merger of nine Mackenzie funds (see the table below), and that there will be changes to the investment objectives of two Mackenzie funds.

The investment objectives and strategies of the The Mackenzie Global Concentrated Equity Fund will change on November 25, 2016, to reflect a rules-based investment approach and a portfolio with balanced exposures across sectors, industries and risk factors. Rick Weed, senior vice-president and portfolio manager, will be lead portfolio manager of the fund.

The investment objectives of Mackenzie Canadian Growth Fund will be clarified, effective November 25, 2016, by removing references to fixed-income and government securities. The change will not impact the fund’s current or future holdings.

Investors in each fund identified as a terminating fund in the table below approved a resolution to merge or reorganize into the corresponding continuing fund. These changes will be implemented on or about November 25, 2016.
