Benchmark History

International Equity Benchmark:

Mawer International Equity Benchmark History (changes made prospectively):

Jan 1988: MSCI EAFE (net)
Oct 2016: MSCI ACWI ex-USA (net)

Rationale for Change: MSCI ACWI (net) excluding US Index is a better representation of the mandate in our opinion. For example, the past benchmark does not include Emerging Markets whereas the fund has holdings in these markets consistent with its prospectus and investment policy statement.

Benchmark returns are rebalanced on a monthly basis.
Global Equity Benchmark:

Mawer Global Equity Benchmark History (changes made prospectively):

Oct: 2009: MSCI World (net)
Oct 2016: MSCI ACWI (net)

Global Small Cap Benchmark:

Mawer Global Small Cap Benchmark History (changes made prospectively):

Oct 2007: Russell Global Small Cap
