The same portfolio managers are managing the Funds. The same investment philosophy and process is being used.

Mawer GARP Philosophy “We believe we can provide our investors with better than market rates of return with less than market levels of risk over a year-long cycle.” Gerald Cooper-Key This is a quote that appeared in an article for the Calgary Herald on December 7, The article interviewed Gerald Cooper-Key and asked him how he would describe Mawer’s philosophy. The rest of the quote is as follows: “we believe that, that’s why we don’t follow an index. Risk management is a very important part of managing money and risk management is more than just diversifying, its knowing the company, its doing the proper due diligence…it’s a bit of a road map” Mawer has been described as being index insensitive and what that means is that they don’t try to follow the index but rather build a portfolio from the names up, from the bottom. This has helped as they have avoided chasing fads. Next Slide Source: Calgary Herald December 7, 2007.

Mawer’s Investment Approach
There are four pillars upon which each portfolio is built: 1 2 3 4 Systematic Process Wealth-creating companies Discount to intrinsic value Broadly diversified portfolios Investment Approach: Mawer Investment Management Ltd. systematically creates broadly diversified portfolios of wealth-creating companies bought at discounts to their intrinsic values. There are four key ideas in this investment approach upon which all portfolios are built: 1) Systematic Process Having a standardized investment approach ensures that the process is repeatable and that results can be replicated as much as possible with successive portfolio managers. Following this investment approach systematically is what should enable Mawer to take advantage of the market opportunities identified in their investment philosophy. They believe that a systematic approach ensures discipline, enhances efficiency, minimizes errors and reduces risk. 2) Wealth-Creating Companies (Key Pillar) They focus only on companies that create wealth, or those that deliver a return on capital greater than their cost of capital over time. Mawer believes that this is the main reason to assume investment risk. It implies that they do not buy companies just because they are "cheap" and that they will ignore those companies which do not offer the prospect of earning a satisfactory return on invested capital. 3) Discount to Intrinsic Value (Key Pillar) Once Mawer have identified a wealth-creating company, they try to buy it at a discount to its intrinsic value, or the price an objective, well-informed businessperson would pay for the company. It is not enough to know that a company is wealth-creating. One must also know how much wealth it is expected to create in order to know how much to pay for a share of the enterprise. Our primary tool for estimating intrinsic value is a discounted cash flow model. 4) Broadly Diversified Portfolios Given Mawer’s concern with investment risk, and not just investment return, their portfolios are broadly diversified by industry and economic sensitivity. Please note, though, that they are not driven by their exposure relative to underlying index weights. Portfolios are concentrated in names. Next Slide

Screening (Idea Generation) Portfolio Construction
Systematic Process Guiding Philosophy Screening (Idea Generation) Monitor & Review Intensive Analysis Mawer’s goal is to continually improve and refine the process to ensure it can be repeated in the portfolio regardless of the manager over the next 100 years. The whole firm uses the same philosophy and process. Mawer ensures a repeatable process which means that if you buy a unit of the Fund today, you know that it will have the same quality 50 years from now. The Fund’s discipline has allowed the Fund to avoid major missteps such as the technology collapse in 2001 and During that time, non-tech names such as Barclays PLC and Peugeot SA were among the fund's largest holdings. Screening: Quantitative screening as well as external ideas, from third party analysts help narrow the list of companies from the investment universe. Internally analysts share ideas. Mawer understands business models transcend borders quite well and leverage off ideas of other managers at Mawer, looking for business models that have been successful in Canada and will be around the world. Intensive Analysis: The Fund’s portfolio managers also meet company management better understand their processes and whether they are a good fit in the Portfolio. Portfolio Construction: Using this process, Mawer takes the best ideas and constructs a portfolio. Monitor and Review: The Fund employs Internal and external eyes. They look through new information and constantly gauge if the fundamental investment case is affirmed or torn apart. The Fund also employs external analysts of investment dealers to act as local eyes and ears to see if investment fundamentals have changed. Portfolios are diversified by geography, sector, market cap, and sensitivity Many eyes – internal & external – monitor the holdings daily Next Slide Portfolio Construction

Wealth-creating Companies
Porter’s Five Forces Competitive Advantages? Strong Management? Return of Capital > Cost of Capital? Suitable Companies One of the key things Mawer focuses on are wealth creating companies which is basically a company that has a greater return on its invested capital than its cost of capital. Surprisingly, a lot of companies don’t. Wealth-creating companies typically have some or all of the following attributes: Return on Capital > Cost of Capital: When return on capital is greater than the cost of capital a firm is worth more each day and is called wealth creating rather that wealth destroying. It implies that Mawer does not buy companies just because they are "cheap" and that they will ignore those companies which do not offer the prospect of earning a satisfactory return on invested capital. Competitive Advantages: High returns attract competitors, which in turn drives returns of the whole industry down. Mawer looks for firms with the ability to preserve its competitive advantages with patents. Porters 5 forces: 1. Customer Power 2. Supplier Power 3. Threat of new entrants 4. Threat of substitutes 5. Intensity of rivalry, is the industry competitive like the auto or airline industry where returns are low? Or do competitors play “nice”, like wireless communications firms? Strong Management: Is management likely to create more wealth creating projects and have a long term focus? Mawer will not invest if management does not have a similar long term philosophy as Mawer These steps build a picture of how difficult or easy the firm will be able to create wealth. Mawer relates firms that do not meet these tests as “swimming against the current,” Next Slide

Discount to Intrinsic Value
Mawer Believes: Great Company Reasonable Price + Mawer believes that: Great Company + Reasonable Price = Great Investment They look at indicators of value like P/E, EV/EBITA, P/BV They also look for a margin of safety in all stock picks Mawer has their own proprietary Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Model that sums up all the cash generated by an investment over perpetuity, discounted back to its value today, which results in a share value. The DCF model also has a Monte Carlo Overlay which changes variables (margins, sales growth, etc.) to find new share prices in thousands of scenarios. This proprietary process also helps provide a better understanding of the company and the sensitivities of the valuation. The benefits to the investor of this in-depth, rigorous analysis is that each stock is carefully scrutinized to make sure that it meets Mawer’s standards before being added to the portfolio.

A Mawer Purchase Decision
Umicore Buy Lets now look at a purchase decision. Umicore The genesis of this investment was an appreciation of the Iron Ore industry – 80% of the market is controlled by 3, huge companies. Platinum is very much like the Iron Ore industry in this regard. Looking at the companies involved in platinum mining, Mawer was unable to find a company that met their philosophy and enjoyed significant competitive advantages. Working up and down the value chain (from mining companies to processors to users, etc.) and looking at suppliers/consumers to this industry, eventually they came across Umicore. Umicore is a Belgian “metals technology” company. They specialize in platinum group metals’ (“PGM”) application and recycling. They are one of three manufacturers of catalytic converters (which have growing complexity and increased demand coming from emerging markets), and have some special techniques that can save their clients money by utilizing less PGM in the catalytic converter. Umicore is also the largest recycler of PGMs. Their recycling ability is so good, the actually achieve a higher recovery rate than the industry standard and get to keep the extra precious metals. They also have expertise in other elements used in solar power, batteries, night vision systems, and many more. Since Umicore spun out their Zinc smelting division, the company has focused its operations on areas where they have strong competitive advantages and can earn a high return on capital. The shares were (and still are, but less so) priced in a similar manner to a normal commodities company, except Umicore had been and is now much more focused on differentiated products where they should be able to earn high returns in a much more stable manner. Bought November 2006 at Euros Add December 2006 at Euros Add April 2007 at Euros Add July Euros Add November Euros This is a position that they continue to hold and look at.

Sell Discipline in Action
Zhejiang Expressway Buy Trim Sell Mawer Sell Discipline: -no longer wealth creating -not at a discount to its intrinsic value -too risky -better opportunities elsewhere Zhejiang Expressway - Sold it January for about HK$ 8.60 This is a Chinese toll road operator that also held a securities dealer. The company has good growth potential and good assets, however the Chinese market has been on fire for the past few years. Zhejiang, along with most other Chinese companies, appreciated quickly and to a point where we estimated that there was little chance of Zhejiang’s actual growth being able to support the valuation. The shares were no longer at a discount to their intrinsic values (much more downside risk than upside on valuation) and we had better options elsewhere for the capital, so we sold the position. Built the position and received good dividends over , but the stock took off with general market euphoria in China and when its securities division became a large division of interest. We trimmed our exposure three times on valuation concerns. Despite the general market outlook deteriorating from September 2007 to January 2008, the shares remained high, so we finally sold the rest of the position in January. The initial position was built starting March/April of 2004, for about 5.50 HKD per share Added in June of 04 at Added in September of Added in Jan/Feb of 05 at Added in Feb of 06 at Added in April of 06 at Added in December of Added in May of 07 at Trimmed in September of Trimmed in November of Sold the rest in January of Next Slide Source: Bloomberg 01/03/05 – 04/08/08 For illustration purposes only.

Why Mawer: Industry Recognition
2008 International Equity Fund year risk adjusted performance 2007 International Equity Fund -10 year risk adjusted performance Global Balanced – Equity Focused – 10 year risk adjusted performance Mawer is constantly being recognized and winning awards. Award programs like Lipper and the Canadian Investment Awards help validate a manager’s approach and are typically given to Fund managers that show consistent results which are what most clients want. A Fund that blows the lights out in one year but with a weak or no track record will not win an award. Funds with excessive risk will also not typically win either. The following are some recent Lipper Award announcements for 10 year risk adjusted performance. The Lipper Fund Award is part of a global programme of events, held in 21 countries, to reward funds that have delivered consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers.

The After-Tax pre-liquidation ratio is the percentage of a fund’s pre-tax return that a hypothetical taxable investor is able to keep after paying taxes on the fund’s interest income, dividend or capital gain distributions. In the above scenario, you would keep almost all of your returns (99.9%), whereas with the average global equity mutual fund and average mutual fund, you would lose almost 8% and 18% respectively to tax.

Mawer Global Small Caps Fund was incepted in September 2007 so is a very new fund without performance data. The fund invests in small caps under <$3b We are very excited about this fund because the global small cap universe for is quite concentrated. Around 29 different global small/ mid cap mandates available. Why global small caps? More opportunities: Consider that the number of large Canadian companies (defined as having a market cap greater than $3 Billion) is 111. Extending the universe to include small Canadian companies opens the door to another 1,330 opportunities. Expanding further to include global small caps widens the universe by more than 15,000 investment opportunities. Source: Mawer Insight newsletter volume #10 December 31, 2007 Small cap companies have more potential to grow: small nimble companies can focus on a certain product or service and can react quickly to exploit opportunities, while larger peers may overlook such projects as being economically insignificant Offers added diversification to a portfolio And lastly, Mawer’s competitive advantage Less research coverage: obtaining information on small obscure companies often takes much more time and effort than with large publicly traded companies where information is readily available. Mawer talks personally to the company’s senior management team to complete their due diligence and have their questions answered. The extra effort that Mawer dedicates to researching small companies provides them with a tremendous opportunity to find attractive companies at inexpensive prices. This process of investing globally in small caps is something that Mawer has always been doing in their portfolios so it is a natural evolution for them to launch a small cap fund.
