Description

In this episode, Lesley Marks, CIO of Equities, and Steve Locke, CIO of Fixed Income and Multi-Asset Strategies, break down Mackenzie’s 2026 Market Outlook and explain why investors will need both resilience and discipline in the year ahead. They unpack the path of interest rates as central banks balance softer growth with sticky inflation, why earnings—not multiples—will drive equity returns, and how fiscal stimulus and capital investment could reshape opportunities across regions. The conversation also highlights where risks may be hiding beneath the surface and how diversification beyond US large caps can strengthen portfolios going into 2026.
