Mackenzie Investments launches Mackenzie All-Sector Canadian Balanced Fund

TORONTO, July 20 /CNW/ - Mackenzie Financial Corporation ("Mackenzie Investments") today introduced Mackenzie All-Sector Canadian Balanced Fund. The Fund invests in a portfolio of equity and fixed income investments, primarily through ownership of other Mackenzie-sponsored mutual funds or by investing in equity and fixed income securities directly.

Initially, the Fund intends to invest 55% of its portfolio in Mackenzie All-Sector Canadian Equity Fund and 45% in Mackenzie Sentinel Bond Fund.

Mackenzie All-Sector Canadian Equity Fund's investment strategy neutralizes sector risk by aiming to follow the sector allocations of the S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index, thus participating in general directional market movements. The stocks chosen with each sector are based on the highest-conviction ideas of portfolio managers of various Mackenzie funds.

Mackenzie Sentinel Bond Fund pursues a steady flow of income by investing mainly in Canadian government and corporate fixed income securities with maturities of more than one year. The Fund maintains an investment grade portfolio which typically has an average credit quality of AA or better.
