Calgary, ALBERTA, Sept. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mawer Investment Management Ltd. (Mawer) launched a new Fund today designed to provide investors access to select opportunities in medium capitalization companies in the United States that are generally below $60B. The objective of the Mawer U.S. Mid Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is to provide investors with above-average, risk‐adjusted returns over the long-term utilizing Mawer’s systematic, disciplined, bottom-up investment approach, “Be Boring.
