- Mackenzie Global Equity & Gold Overlay ETF combines diversified exposure to global equities with a gold futures overlay
- Mackenzie Modus Systematic ETF line-up offers rules-based, multi-factor equity exposure across global, international, and global small-mid cap markets
TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2026 /CNW/ -- Mackenzie Investments ("Mackenzie") today announced the launch of four new exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), listed below. Managed by the Mackenzie Multi-Asset Strategies Team, the ETFs seek to deliver innovative solutions that combine systematic factor investing with a differentiated approach helping investors construct diversified portfolios across global markets. Three of the four ETFs are the first to carry Mackenzie Modus, a new brand for the firm's systematic investment strategies.
ETF name | TSX symbol | Management fee |
Mackenzie Global Equity & Gold Overlay ETF | MGEG | 1.15 % |
Mackenzie Modus Global Equity ETF | MMGL | 0.55 % |
Mackenzie Modus International Equity ETF | MMEA | 0.55 % |
Mackenzie Modus Global Small-Mid Cap Equity ETF | MMSD | 0.60 % |
Mackenzie Global Equity & Gold Overlay ETF (TSX: MGEG)
MGEG is an alternative mutual fund that combines an actively managed global equity allocation with a strategic 50% notional gold futures overlay in a single ETF. As global equity markets have become increasingly concentrated in U.S. equities, portfolios may also carry greater exposure to common U.S. market and currency drivers. Gold has historically exhibited different return drivers than global equities, while also demonstrating a negative historical relationship with the U.S. dollar, providing diversification.
"By implementing the gold allocation through futures, MGEG maintains full global equity exposure while adding strategic gold exposure in a capital-efficient structure," said Kristi Ashcroft, Executive Vice President, Products and Solutions, Mackenzie Investments. "Investors gain access to the diversification benefits of gold without having to reduce their allocation to global equities."
Mackenzie Modus Global Equity ETF (TSX: MMGL), Mackenzie Modus International Equity ETF (TSX: MMEA) and Mackenzie Modus Global Small-Mid Cap Equity ETF (TSX: MMSD)
Mackenzie Modus is the firm's new brand for a suite of rule-based factor investing strategies. Each Modus ETF systematically targets four established sources of return, value, momentum, quality and low volatility, using a defined and repeatable investment process, rather than relying on manager judgment. Each ETF holds a diversified portfolio built on those four factors while seeking to minimize exposure to uncompensated factors such as size, liquidity, country and sector biases.
MMGL invests primarily in mid and large cap companies globally, while MMSD invests in small and mid-cap companies globally. MMEA focuses on mid and large cap companies across developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada.
The initial offerings of the ETFs have closed, and they will begin trading today on the Toronto Stock Exchange under their respective ticker symbols.
