Disclaimers
* Management expense ratio (“MER”) is based on total expenses for the stated period and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net assets during the period.
The trading expense ratio represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net assets during the year.
Performance has been presented for the A-series mutual funds and has been calculated net of fees. Performance has been expressed in Canadian dollars.
§ Equity holdings excluding cash.

Mawer Mutual Funds are managed by Mawer Investment Management Ltd. Mawer Mutual Fund returns are reported in Canadian dollars and calculated after management fees and operating expenses have been deducted. In comparison, index returns do not incur management fees or operating expenses.

Index returns are supplied by third parties—we believe the data to be accurate, however, cannot guarantee its accuracy. 

Performance returns for the Mawer Mutual Funds and benchmarks are calculated by Mawer Investment Management Ltd. These returns are historical simple returns for the 3 month, YTD and 1 year periods, and annualized compounded total returns for periods after 1 year.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the fund facts and prospectus before investing. The indicated rates of return (other than for a money market fund) are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions. The indicated rates of return for a money market fund is an annualized historical yield based on the seven-day period ended as indicated and annualized in the case of effective yield by compounding the seven-day return and does not represent an actual one-year return. The indicated rates of return do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Mutual fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that a money market fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per unit at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment will be returned to you. Mawer Mutual Funds are managed by Mawer Investment Management Ltd.

Mawer Mutual Funds do not have trailing commissions. If you purchased units of the Mawer Mutual Funds through a third-party dealer, you may be subject to commissions or additional sales charges. Please contact your dealer for more information.

The Morningstar Rating, commonly referred to as the Star Rating, relates how a fund has performed on a risk-adjusted basis against its Morningstar category peers and is subject to change every month. Funds are ranked by their Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return scores with the top 10% of funds in a category receiving 5 stars, the top 22.5% receiving 4 stars; a fund in the middle 35% receiving 3 stars; and a fund in the bottom 22.5% receiving 2 stars. The Overall Star Rating for a fund is a weighted combination of its 3, 5 and 10 year ratings. Overall ratings are adjusted where a fund has less than 5 or 10 years of history. For greater detail see www.morningstar.ca.

The Morningstar Rating displayed is the weighted average of the 3, 5 and 10 year ratings, as applicable.  Only funds with at least a three-year track record are rated. Please refer to the individual fund’s profile page to view the rating for each applicable period that the Morningstar Ratings are available for.
