Diversified Fixed Income Folio Fund reclassified and now suitable for clients with "low" risk tolerance
TORONTO, Feb. 14, 2017 /CNW/ - Mackenzie Financial Corporation (Mackenzie Investments) and Quadrus Investment Services Ltd. announced today a reclassification of the Canadian Investment Funds Standards Committee ("CIFSC") category for Diversified Fixed Income Folio Fund (the "Fund") from "Global Fixed Income" to "Canadian Fixed Income". Concurrent with this reclassification, a foreign content limit of 30% has been implemented and the risk rating for the Fund has been changed from "Low to Medium" to "Low".
The Fund is strategically designed to seek higher income and to provide fixed-income diversification through a fund-of-funds structure as an excellent solution for today's challenging fixed-income environment.
Unitholders may now include this Fund in a portfolio in place of a traditional Canadian bond fund with the same risk rating, if deemed suitable to the client.
