Investment Objectives

The objective of the Mawer Global Small Cap Fund is to provide above-average long-term, risk-adjusted returns by investing primarily in securities of smaller companies around the world. The Fund will be primarily invested in equities and equity-related securities. The amount invested in any one country will vary depending upon the economic, investment, and market outlook and opportunities in each area.

Investment Strategy

We employ the following strategies to achieve the Fund’s objective: We seek to systematically create a broadly diversified portfolio of wealth-creating companies bought at discounts to their intrinsic value; We seek to employ a long-term holding period to allow for investor recognition or corporate growth. There are no specific limits on the portion of the Fund’s assets that may be directly invested in foreign securities or indirectly exposed to investments in foreign securities.
