Mawer Global Small Cap Fund

The Fund invests in global corporations that at the time of purchase have a market capitalization less than or equal to the unadjusted market capitalization of the largest company in the bottom 98% of the MSCI ACWI Small Cap Index as of the previous quarter end. The amount invested in any one country will vary depending upon individual company by company opportunities in each area. The Fund will diversify through currencies, industries, and countries to increase safety, and to increase the growth and liquidity of the investments. Treasury bills or short-term investments, not exceeding three years to maturity will also be used.

In order to achieve its investment 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.

Investors seeking long-term, above-average growth who can tolerate significant volatility. Medium-high risk.
