In a world of accelerating change, Mackenzie helps investors cultivate a strong future through a holistic approach towards building and preserving wealth.
Working as a partner to financial advisers, Toronto-based Mackenzie offers one of the widest ranges of products and services among independent Canadian asset managers, encompassing mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), alternative investments, private wealth pools and managed solutions. It caters to retail investors across Canada through their advisers and institutional clients globally.
