Six funds will be renamed to reflect changes in strategy
TORONTO, July 15, 2020 /CNW/ - Mackenzie Investments today announced it has changed the strategy on its suite of TOBAM mutual funds to provide investors with enhanced market exposure.
To further increase diversification, each fund will now invest substantially all its assets to track its associated TOBAM index. Through employing their Maximum Diversification® approach, each TOBAM index aims to create a more diversified portfolio relative to the market capitalization weighted benchmarks.
As a result of this strategy change, six funds will be renamed effective today:
Former Name of Fund | New Name of Fund |
Mackenzie High Diversification Emerging Markets Equity Fund | Mackenzie Maximum Diversification Emerging Markets Index Fund |
Mackenzie High Diversification Canadian Equity Class | Mackenzie Maximum Diversification Canada Index Class |

Mackenzie High Diversification European Equity Fund | Mackenzie Maximum Diversification Developed Europe Index Fund |
