Investment Strategy

In order to achieve its investment strategy objectives, the Manager systematically creates a broadly diversified portfolio of wealth-creating companies with excellent management teams bought at discounts to their intrinsic values. The Manager employs a highly disciplined, research-driven, bottom-up process and long-term holding period to allow for investor recognition or corporate growth, and to minimize transaction costs.

† The Fund’s expenses are made up of the management fee and operating expenses. These costs comprise the Fund’s MER. The Fund’s annual management fee is 1.15% of the Fund’s value. Because this fund is new, its operating expenses are relatively large in comparison to the fund’s assets. The actual MER for the fund was 1.49% however the management of Mawer has committed to subsidize the operating expenses of the Fund from its inception so that the MER is no more than 1.45%. Management plans to review the subsidy periodically with the intent to remove the subsidy once the MER of the Fund has stabilized from asset growth at approximately 1.45%. After the subsidized period ends the actual MER for the Fund may be higher than 1.45%.

†† Mawer Fund returns are calculated after management fees and operating expenses have been deducted. In comparison, index returns do not incur management fees or operating expenses.
