Mawer New Canada Fund
NOTE:
The Mawer New Canada Fund is capped to new and existing mutual fund investors. This has been done given the limited liquidity of the securities in the small cap segment of the Canadian equity market and given our desire to ensure that we continue to offer the best possible small cap product to our existing clients.
Investment Objective
The objective of the Mawer New Canada Fund is to invest for attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns in securities of smaller Canadian companies. This is a smaller capitalization fund.
