Mackenzie Quality Equity Team

Quality investing, from capital preservation to durable growth.


The Mackenzie Quality Equity Team invests in durable, well-run businesses that can compound value over time, applying a consistent quality discipline across strategies from more defensive to more growth oriented.

A consistent quality bar.

The team starts every idea with one question: is this a durable business? It seeks companies with lasting competitive advantages, resilient balance sheets and the ability to generate cash through a full cycle, then applies a valuation discipline intended to avoid overpaying for that quality.

Quality expressed across the spectrum.

The team exercises its commitment to quality across the spectrum, from resilience, downside risk and business durability, to emerging quality and future opportunities. Together, these complementary perspectives broaden how the team evaluates quality.

Built to reward long-term investors.

Regardless of where quality is identified, the team’s patient approach results in low-turnover strategies focused on growing capital over full market cycles, and with the intention of rewarding investors who stay the course.
