NEW MACKENZIE INVESTMENTS FUND ENHANCES INVESTOR ACCESS TO GLOBAL CORPORATE DEBT OPPORTUNITIES

IGM Financial Inc.'s Mackenzie Investments has launched the Mackenzie Global Corporate Fixed Income Fund, offering investors access to growth opportunities in the global corporate fixed-income space.

The fund, managed by the Mackenzie fixed-income team, seeks to generate income with the potential for long-term capital growth by investing primarily in fixed-income securities of global corporate issuers.

"We're excited to offer Canadian investors a new opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio of bonds issued by leading corporations across the globe," said Kristi Ashcroft, executive vice-president, product and solutions, Mackenzie Investments. "An allocation to corporate credit through this new fund can effectively complement allocations to federal and provincial bonds while potentially enhancing portfolio yield and income."

The team seeks stable performance and risk mitigation through active management and a bottom-up security selection approach, balancing capital appreciation and income while targeting minimal exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

"The agile approach of our experienced portfolio managers allows them to quickly adapt to market changes and capitalize on relative value opportunities across the credit ratings spectrum and capital structure of companies, while maintaining a strong focus on risk management," concluded Ms. Ashcroft.
