Mackenzie Investments Asia

It is the Hong Kong-based regional investment operation of Mackenzie Investments, which is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of IGM Financial, a publicly traded Canadian financial services company. The Asian team runs dedicated equity and fixed-income strategies with local portfolio managers and analysts, while benefiting from the parent's institutional-grade infrastructure and permanent capital base.

IGM Financial is a Winnipeg-headquartered holding company with two primary operating subsidiaries — Mackenzie Investments (retail and institutional asset management) and IG Wealth Management (financial advisory). IGM is itself controlled by Power Corporation of Canada, a Montreal-based conglomerate with multi-generational family oversight. This layered corporate structure gives Mackenzie Investments Asia a long-duration mandate with less pressure to hot-house short-term performance numbers.

The Hong Kong team primarily manages Asian equity and fixed-income mandates that sit inside Mackenzie's Canadian-domiciled funds and segregated accounts. The firm does not appear to market standalone Asia strategies to regional institutional allocators as an independent manager — its product is the regional expertise embedded in the parent's broader multi-asset shelf.

IGM Financial holds a strategic minority stake in China Asset Management, one of the largest onshore Chinese fund managers. While this is a corporate-level investment rather than a direct reporting line for the Hong Kong office, it provides an institutional channel into Beijing- and Shanghai-based market intelligence and company access that complements the Hong Kong team's own research coverage.

The firm places portfolio managers and analysts in-market, which means company meetings, site visits, and management access happen in the local time zone and often in the local language. This is structurally different from a London- or New York-based Asia team that relies on broker research and quarterly management roadshows. The trading desk also executes Asia orders during Asian hours rather than passing execution to a third-party desk overnight.
