Mackenzie Investments Announces Registered Plan Eligibility for Mackenzie Northleaf Global Private Equity Fund
TORONTO, Feb. 26, 2025 /CNW/ - Mackenzie Investments ("Mackenzie") alongside Northleaf Capital Partners ("Northleaf"), today announced that the Mackenzie Northleaf Global Private Equity Fund (the "Fund") will become registered plan eligible, effective February 26, 2025.
As a result, accredited investors will be able to gain exposure to private equity in their registered plans, including Registered Retirement Savings Plans, Registered Retirement Income Funds, Registered Education Savings Plans, Tax-Free Savings Accounts and First Home Savings Accounts.
This is the third fund in Mackenzie's suite of private market product offerings to qualify as an eligible investment for registered plans, joining the Mackenzie Northleaf Private Credit Fund and the Mackenzie Northleaf Private Credit Interval Fund.
The Fund offers accredited investors a diversified portfolio of global private equity investments and has seen strong success and growth since its inception in April 2022, highlighted by an average annualized return of 25%* over that time period.
"We're proud to offer more opportunities for Canadians to benefit from institutional-quality private equity investments in their registered accounts," said Allan Seychuk, Vice President, Alternatives at Mackenzie Investments. "The Fund has been quite successful and benefits from its exposure to privately held middle-market businesses. It's an opportunity for accredited investors to be able to enhance portfolio diversification through access to assets that aren't listed and that have the potential to improve portfolio returns while simultaneously reducing volatility."
"Private markets investments have long been a core component for institutional investors, and Northleaf is committed to our partnership with Mackenzie, with the goal of extending that same access to private wealth investors in Canada," said Nadim Vasanji, Managing Director & Head of Strategic Distribution & Marketing at Northleaf Capital Partners. "With demand continuing to grow, the private markets are increasingly recognized as a complement to public markets investments and an effective way to construct a well-diversified portfolio."
Mackenzie entered into a strategic partnership with Northleaf, a global private markets investment firm focused on mid-market companies and assets, in 2020. Since then, the two firms have collaborated to launch four funds designed to provide retail and accredited investors with increased access to alternative private market investments.
