Mackenzie Greenchip Team

The Mackenzie Greenchip Team focuses on the environmental economy, investing in companies at the forefront of the energy transition. The team seeks value in a growth space, investing with integrity and purpose.

Philosophy & approach

 

The Mackenzie Greenchip Team believes that changing demographics, resource scarcity and environmental degradation could drive extraordinary opportunities and new risks for investors. As resource and environmental issues become more challenging, they believe prices will be forced to adjust and strong “blue chip” companies operating in the green economy will be in high demand.

Greenchip applies focused due diligence with the intention of holding stocks when they see significant discounts to intrinsic value. Having focused exclusively on environmental sectors since 2007, the team has developed a deep understanding of these sectors and are confident that through their sustainability thesis, and proven value discipline, they can continue to pursue superior returns for investors.

Investment strategies

The Mackenzie Greenchip Team manages global environmental all cap equity strategies. Their environmental thematic strategies focus on clean energy, energy efficiency, cleantech, water, sustainable agriculture and sustainable transportation.
