Mawer Wins Multiple Honours at 2013 Morningstar Awards

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 28, 2013) - Mawer Investment Management Ltd. was recognized as a top-performing investment organization in multiple categories at last night's 19th annual Morningstar Awards. Mawer has repeatedly won a Morningstar accolade in one or more categories for many years.

Mawer received the prestigious Analysts' Choice Fund Company of the Year award and Mawer's Deputy Chief Investment Officer, Paul Moroz, was named Foreign Equity Fund Manager of the Year. In addition to these top honours, the following Mawer funds won in their respective categories: Mawer Canadian Equity Fund, Mawer Canadian Equity Pooled Fund, Mawer Balanced Fund, Mawer Balanced Pooled Fund, and Mawer Global Small Cap Fund.

The Morningstar Awards are one of the investment industry's premier investment awards programs, recognizing the year's most exceptional funds and fund managers. Morningstar chooses a Fund Manager of the Year based on the manager's strengths, the risks associated with their investment process, and the quality of their decision-making.

"Through these awards, Morningstar has validated our 'boring' approach to investing," says Paul Moroz. "The honours we have received reinforce Mawer's conviction that investing in 'boring,' high-quality securities at a discount to their intrinsic value will bring success over the long-term. We appreciate this special recognition and are even more pleased for our clients."
