Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the Mawer Balanced Fund is to achieve above-average long-term returns from income and capital gains. We intend to achieve this objective by investing up to all of the assets of the Fund in other Funds, as well as by investing directly in equity and equity-related securities and fixed-income securities such as treasury bills, short-term notes, debentures, and bonds.

Investment Strategy

We will analyze the economy and markets with a view to determine which of the asset classes are more likely to offer attractive risk/return characteristics within a medium to long-term time frame. We have determined that radical shifts in asset mix expose unitholders to increased risk. We believe that incremental shifts in asset mix are more desirable. We have defined commitment ranges for various asset classes as follows: Cash 0 - 15%, Bonds 25 - 50%, Equities 45 - 70%.
