INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Unitholders of Mawer Mutual Funds (the “Funds”) being:

Mawer Canadian Money Market Fund Mawer Canadian Bond Fund Mawer Global Bond Fund Mawer Balanced Fund Mawer Tax Effective Balanced Fund Mawer Global Balanced Fund Mawer Canadian Equity Fund Mawer New Canada Fund Mawer U.S. Equity Fund Mawer International Equity Fund Mawer Global Small Cap Fund Mawer Global Equity Fund Mawer Emerging Markets Equity Fund

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Funds, which comprise:

• the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

• the statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the years then ended

• the statements of changes in net assets for the years then ended

• the statements of cash flows for the years then ended

• and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accountingpolicies.

Hereinafter referred to as the “financial statements”.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and their financial performance and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our auditors’ report.

3

Page 5: 2019 Audited Financial Statements Mawer Mutual Funds€¦ · Mawer Mutual Funds Table of Contents Independent Auditors’ Report 3 Mawer Canadian Money Market Fund 7 Mawer Canadian

We are independent of the Funds in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audits of the financial statements in Canada and we have fulfilled our other responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. Other information comprises the information contained in the Funds’ Management Reports of Fund Performance to be filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audits of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits and remain alert for indications that the other information appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained the Funds’ Management Reports of Fund Performance to be filed with the relevant Canadian Securities Commissions as at the date of this auditors’ report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in the auditors’ report.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Funds or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Funds’ financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion.

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher thanfor one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audits in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposeof expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessof accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Funds’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to therelated disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may causethe Funds to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represents theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,the planned scope and timing of the audits and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audits.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund invests in short-term reserves which are primarily invested in Government of Canada Treasury Bills and therefore does not have significant credit risk.

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category. The Fund does not have exposure to debt securities and therefore does not have significant concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 263,053 274,3161 - 3 years - -3 - 5 years - -Greater than 5 years - -Total 263,053 274,316

Sensitivity analysisThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities, and therefore the sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is not applicable.

Currency riskThe Fund only invests in Canadian-dollar denominated securities and therefore does not have a direct currency risk.

Other price riskThe Fund is not subject to significant other price risk on short-term investments.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments measured at fair valueThe table below analyzes financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statements of financial position. The Fund does not have any level 3 fair value measurements and there were no significant transfers between levels during 2019 and 2018.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe risk management strategy for the Fund is to invest primarily in debt obligations of high credit quality issuers and to limit the amount of credit exposure with respect to any one corporate issuer.

At the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, has the following credit quality:

Debt Security Rating December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018AAA 37.45% 39.18%AA 26.77% 32.54%A 20.62% 17.14%BBB 15.16% 11.14%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category.

As at the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, was concentrated in the following categories:

Category December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Federal Bonds 31.71% 32.14%Provincial Bonds 19.69% 27.28%Corporate Bonds 48.60% 40.58%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 31,016 7,9811 - 3 years 641,228 233,2163 - 5 years 501,951 770,923Greater than 5 years 1,839,785 1,491,361Total 3,013,980 2,503,481

Sensitivity analysisThe sensitivity analysis below reflects how net assets would have been affected by changes in interest rates. Management has determined that a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points is reasonably possible, considering the economic environment in which the Fund operates. The table below sets out the change on the Fund's net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of a reasonably possible increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The impact has been estimated by calculating the fair value changes of the fixed-interest debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, and assumes that all other variables remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018100 basis point riseChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (220,580) (174,175)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (7.28)% (6.92)%100 basis point declineChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) 259,720 201,180% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units 8.57% 7.99%

Currency riskThe Fund only invests in Canadian-dollar denominated securities and therefore does not have a direct currency risk.

Other price riskAll investments in listed debt securities are fixed-income instruments that have a variety of maturities. The Fund expects price fluctuations for these investments to arise principally from interest rate or credit risk. As a result, the Fund is not subject to significant other price risk on these investments.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments measured at fair valueThe table below analyzes financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statements of financial position. The Fund does not have any level 3 fair value measurements and there were no significant transfers between levels during 2019 and 2018.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe risk management strategy for the Fund is to invest primarily in debt obligations of high credit quality issuers and to limit the amount of credit exposure with respect to any one corporate issuer.

At the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, has the following credit quality:

Debt Security Rating December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018AAA 21.21% 17.11%AA 67.16% 68.49%A 11.63% 14.40%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category.

As at the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, was concentrated in the following categories:

Category December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Federal Bonds 77.68% 77.86%Provincial Bonds 22.32% 22.14%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 32,080 19,3001 - 3 years 45,025 35,0693 - 5 years 54,109 57,860Greater than 5 years 96,240 98,097Total 227,454 210,326

Sensitivity analysisThe sensitivity analysis below reflects how net assets would have been affected by changes in interest rates. Management has determined that a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points is reasonably possible, considering the economic environment in which the Fund operates. The table below sets out the change on the Fund's net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of a reasonably possible increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The impact has been estimated by calculating the fair value changes of the fixed-interest debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, and assumes that all other variables remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018100 basis point riseChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (10,180) (10,177)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (3.25)% (3.46)%100 basis point declineChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) 11,267 11,223% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units 3.60% 3.82%

Currency riskThe Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via investments denominated in a variety of foreign currencies. Changes in the value of the foreign currencies vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Increased or decreased (000's) 14,300 13,963% of the Fund's value 4.57% 4.75%

At the reporting date, the carrying values of the Fund's net financial assets and financial liabilities held in individual foreign currencies expressed in Canadian dollars and as a percentage of its net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (NAV) were as follows:

Other price riskAll investments in listed debt securities are fixed-income instruments that have a variety of maturities. The Fund expects price fluctuations for these investments to arise principally from interest rate or credit risk. As a result, the Fund is not subject to significant other price risk on these investments.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund's credit risk is concentrated in investments in the underlying funds in which this Fund invests in. These are primarily domestic and foreign bonds as presented on the Schedule of Investments of the underlying fund.

At the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, has the following credit quality:

Debt Security Rating December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018AAA 36.49% 37.65%AA 29.16% 35.02%A 20.09% 16.96%BBB 14.26% 10.37%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category.

As at the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, was concentrated in the following categories:

Category December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Mawer Canadian Bond Fund 'O' 94.10% 93.11%Mawer Global Bond Fund 'O' 5.90% 6.89%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves and debt securities held by the underlying funds in which this Fund hold units, by maturity.

Sensitivity analysisThe sensitivity analysis below reflects how net assets would have been affected by changes in interest rates. Management has determined that a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points is reasonably possible, considering the economic environment in which the Fund operates. The table below sets out the change on the Fund's net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of a reasonably possible increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The impact has been estimated by calculating the fair value changes of the fixed-interest debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, and assumes that all other variables remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018100 basis point riseChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (104,885) (83,095)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (2.32)% (2.37)%100 basis point declineChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) 123,435 95,823% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units 2.73% 2.73%

Currency riskThe Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via underlying fund investments denominated in a variety of foreign currencies. Changes in the value of the foreign currencies vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

At the reporting date, the carrying values of the Fund's net financial assets and financial liabilities held in individual foreign currencies, including the total currency risk of the underlying funds held, are expressed in Canadian dollars and as a percentage of its net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (NAV) were as follows:

Other price riskThe Fund invests in unlisted open-ended investment funds as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Those unlisted open-ended investment funds held 62.9% of its investments in exchange traded equity investments at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - 60.1%).

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (142,033) (105,387)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (3.14)% (3.00)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe risk management strategy for the Fund is to invest primarily in debt obligations of high credit quality issuers and to limit the amount of credit exposure with respect to any one corporate issuer.

At the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, has the following credit quality:

Debt Security Rating December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018AAA 36.88% 37.76%AA 29.16% 34.98%A 19.91% 16.89%BBB 14.05% 10.37%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category.

As at the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, was concentrated in the following Funds and categories:

Category December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Mawer Global Bond Fund 'O' 6.09% 7.18%Federal Bonds 30.36% 30.00%Provincial Bonds 18.56% 25.31%Corporate Bonds 44.99% 37.51%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves and debt securities held by the underlying funds in which this Fund holds units, by maturity.

Sensitivity analysisThe sensitivity analysis below reflects how net assets would have been affected by changes in interest rates. Management has determined that a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points is reasonably possible, considering the economic environment in which the Fund operates. The table below sets out the change on the Fund's net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of a reasonably possible increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The impact has been estimated by calculating the fair value changes of the fixed-interest debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, and assumes that all other variables remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018100 basis point riseChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (32,020) (26,316)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (2.31)% (2.36)%100 basis point declineChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) 37,594 30,357% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units 2.71% 2.72%

Currency riskThe Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via investments denominated in a variety of foreign currencies, including foreign currencies of the underlying funds held. Changes in the value of the foreign currencies vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

At the reporting date, the carrying values of the Fund's net financial assets and financial liabilities held in individual foreign currencies, including the total currency risk of the underlying funds held, are expressed in Canadian dollars and as a percentage of its net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (NAV) were as follows:

Other price riskThe Fund invests in 52.3% exchange traded investments and 7.2% unlisted open-ended investment funds at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - 51.6% exchange traded investments and 6.4% unlisted open-ended investment funds).

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (41,189) (32,387)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (2.97)% (2.90)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund's credit risk is concentrated in investments in the underlying funds in which this Fund invests in. These are primarily domestic and foreign bonds as presented on the Schedule of Investments of the underlying fund.

At the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, has the following credit quality:

Debt Security Rating December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018AAA 33.59% 33.48%AA 36.38% 41.81%A 18.48% 16.44%BBB 11.55% 8.27%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category.

As at the reporting dates, the Fund's exposure to debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, was concentrated in the following categories:

Category December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Mawer Canadian Bond Fund 'O' 76.20% 74.22%Mawer Global Bond Fund 'O' 23.80% 25.78%Total Fixed Income 100.00% 100.00%

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves and debt securities held by the underlying funds in which this Fund holds units, by maturity.

Sensitivity analysisThe sensitivity analysis below reflects how net assets would have been affected by changes in interest rates. Management has determined that a fluctuation in interest rates of 100 basis points is reasonably possible, considering the economic environment in which the Fund operates. The table below sets out the change on the Fund's net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units of a reasonably possible increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The impact has been estimated by calculating the fair value changes of the fixed-interest debt securities, excluding short-term reserves, and assumes that all other variables remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018100 basis point riseChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (29,674) (21,003)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (2.17)% (2.24)%100 basis point declineChange in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) 34,718 24,097% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units 2.54% 2.57%

Currency riskThe Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via investments denominated in a variety of foreign currencies, including foreign currencies of the underlying funds held. Changes in the value of the foreign currencies vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Increased or decreased (000's) 43,036 29,203% of the Fund's value 3.15% 3.11%

At the reporting date, the carrying values of the Fund's net financial assets and financial liabilities held in individual foreign currencies, including the total currency risk of the underlying funds held, are expressed in Canadian dollars and as a percentage of its net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (NAV) were as follows:

Other price riskThe Fund invests in 61.3% exchange traded investments at December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - 57.9% exchange-traded investments).

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (41,872) (27,201)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (3.06)% (2.90)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments measured at fair valueThe table below analyzes financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statements of financial position. The Fund does not have any level 3 fair value measurements and there were no significant transfers between levels during 2019 and 2018.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities and therefore does not have significant credit risk.

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category. The Fund does not have exposure to debt securities and therefore does not have significant concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 130,096 123,8151 - 3 years - -3 - 5 years - -Greater than 5 years - -Total 130,096 123,815

Sensitivity analysisThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities, and therefore the sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is not applicable.

Currency riskThe Fund invests primarily in Canadian companies. As at the reporting date, all of the companies in this Fund were Canadian companies. However, some of the companies in this Fund have operations outside Canada which may lead to transactional and/or translational currency risk to those companies.

The Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via investments denominated in U.S. dollars. Changes in the value of the U.S. dollar vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

At the reporting date, the carrying values of the Fund's net financial assets and financial liabilities held in individual foreign currencies expressed in Canadian dollars and as a percentage of its net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (NAV) were as follows:

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018

Currencies (000's)Total Cash and

Investments Percentage of NAVTotal Cash and

Investments Percentage of NAVU.S. dollars 40,869 1.26% - -Total 40,869 1.26% - -

Other price riskThe Fund invests in exchange-traded equities as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (155,306) (127,884)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (4.79)% (4.76)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments measured at fair valueThe table below analyzes financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statements of financial position. The Fund does not have any level 3 fair value measurements and there were no significant transfers between levels during 2019 and 2018.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities and therefore does not have significant credit risk.

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category. The Fund does not have exposure to debt securities and therefore does not have significant concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 20,724 41,5251 - 3 years - -3 - 5 years - -Greater than 5 years - -Total 20,724 41,525

Sensitivity analysisThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities, and therefore the sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is not applicable.

Currency riskThe Fund invests primarily in Canadian companies. As at the reporting date, all of the companies in this Fund were Canadian companies. However, some of the companies in this Fund have operations outside Canada which may lead to transactional and/or translational currency risk to those companies. The exposure to the Fund is immaterial.

Other price riskThe Fund invests in exchange-traded equities as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (70,865) (54,143)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (4.93)% (4.78)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities and therefore does not have significant credit risk.

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category. The Fund does not have exposure to debt securities and therefore does not have significant concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 103,185 140,2681 - 3 years - -3 - 5 years - -Greater than 5 years - -Total 103,185 140,268

Sensitivity analysisThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities, and therefore the sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is not applicable.

Currency riskThe Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via investments denominated in U.S. dollars. Changes in the value of the U.S. dollar vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

At the reporting date, the carrying values of the Fund's net financial assets and financial liabilities held in individual foreign currencies expressed in Canadian dollars and as a percentage of its net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (NAV) were as follows:

MAWER MUTUAL FUNDSMawer U.S. Equity Fund

Other price riskThe Fund invests in exchange-traded equities as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (193,921) (150,748)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (4.87)% (4.77)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments measured at fair valueThe table below analyzes financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statements of financial position. The Fund does not have any level 3 fair value measurements and there were no significant transfers between levels during 2019 and 2018.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities and therefore does not have significant credit risk.

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category. The Fund does not have exposure to debt securities and therefore does not have significant concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Funds' exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 155,589 221,9401 - 3 years - -3 - 5 years - -Greater than 5 years - -Total 155,589 221,940

Sensitivity analysisThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities, and therefore the sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is not applicable.

Currency riskThe Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via investments denominated in a variety of foreign currencies. Changes in the value of the foreign currencies vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

Other price riskThe Fund invests in exchange-traded equities as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (342,692) (293,698)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (4.87)% (4.80)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments measured at fair valueThe table below analyzes financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statements of financial position. The Fund does not have any level 3 fair value measurements and there were no significant transfers between levels during 2019 and 2018.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities and therefore does not have significant credit risk.

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category. The Fund does not have exposure to debt securities and therefore does not have significant concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 240,239 177,4531 - 3 years - -3 - 5 years - -Greater than 5 years - -Total 240,239 177,453

Sensitivity analysisThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities, and therefore the sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is not applicable.

Currency riskThe Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via investments denominated in a variety of foreign currencies. Changes in the value of the foreign currencies vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

Other price riskThe Fund invests in exchange-traded equities as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (148,961) (118,096)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (4.62)% (4.64)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments measured at fair valueThe table below analyzes financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statements of financial position. The Fund does not have any level 3 fair value measurements and there were no significant transfers between levels during 2019 and 2018.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities and therefore does not have significant credit risk.

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category. The Fund does not have exposure to debt securities and therefore does not have significant concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 206,946 262,7801 - 3 years - -3 - 5 years - -Greater than 5 years - -Total 206,946 262,780

Sensitivity analysisThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities, and therefore the sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is not applicable.

Currency riskThe Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via investments denominated in a variety of foreign currencies. Changes in the value of the foreign currencies vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

Other price riskThe Fund invests in exchange-traded equities as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (266,177) (187,439)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (4.80)% (4.65)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments measured at fair valueThe table below analyzes financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statements of financial position. The Fund does not have any level 3 fair value measurements and there were no significant transfers between levels during 2019 and 2018.

Fund Specific Notes to the Financial Statements

Analysis of credit qualityThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities and therefore does not have significant credit risk.

Concentration of credit riskConcentration risk arises as a result of concentration of exposures within the same category. The Fund does not have exposure to debt securities and therefore does not have significant concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Fund maintains a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity days of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Fund's value.

Interest rate riskThe Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The following table is a summary of the Fund's exposure to debt securities, including short-term reserves, by maturity.

Debt instrument by Maturity Date(000's) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Less than 1 year 3,407 2,6261 - 3 years - -3 - 5 years - -Greater than 5 years - -Total 3,407 2,626

Sensitivity analysisThe Fund does not have direct investments in debt securities, and therefore the sensitivity analysis on interest rate risk is not applicable.

Currency riskThe Fund's primary exposure to currency risk is via investments denominated in a variety of foreign currencies. Changes in the value of the foreign currencies vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar, which the Fund's unit value is valued in, could have either a positive or negative effect upon the net asset value independently of the underlying investments. The Fund does not attempt to actively hedge potential currency risk.

The table below sets out the effect on the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a possible weakening of foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar by 5%. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

Other price riskThe Fund invests in exchange-traded equities as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The table below sets out the effect on net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units of a reasonable possible weakening in the individual exchange-traded equity market prices of 5% at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The analysis assumes that all other variables in particular interest and foreign currency rates remain constant.

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018Change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (000's) (4,229) (2,889)% change in net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units (4.80)% (4.76)%

A strengthening in the individual equity market prices of 5% would have resulted in an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above.

Fair value hierarchy – financial instruments measured at fair valueThe table below analyzes financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized. The amounts are based on the values recognized in the statements of financial position. The Fund does not have any level 3 fair value measurements and there were no significant transfers between levels during 2019 and 2018.

MAWER MUTUAL FUNDSNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

1. REPORTING ENTITYMawer Mutual Funds are domiciled in Canada. The address of the Funds’ registered office is 600, 517 – 10th Ave. S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2R 0A8. The Funds have been established by way of a Declaration of Trust under the laws of Alberta by State Street Trust Company Canada (the “Trustee”), as trustee, effective June 15, 2015. Previously, the trustee of the Funds was The Royal Trust Company.

The Funds comprise the Mawer Canadian Money Market Fund, Mawer Canadian Bond Fund, Mawer Global Bond Fund, Mawer Balanced Fund, Mawer Tax Effective Balanced Fund, Mawer Global Balanced Fund, Mawer Canadian Equity Fund, Mawer New Canada Fund, Mawer U.S. Equity Fund, Mawer International Equity Fund, Mawer Global Small Cap Fund, Mawer Global Equity Fund, and Mawer Emerging Markets Equity Fund, (individually a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). They are open-ended mutual funds invested in different types of investments, depending upon their investment objectives, such as cash, equity securities, and bonds issued by companies listed on major domestic, U.S., and global stock exchanges.

The investment activities of the Funds are managed by Mawer Investment Management Ltd. (the Manager) and the administration of the Funds is delegated to State Street Fund Services Toronto Inc. and International Financial Data Services (Canada) Limited (the Administrators).

2. BASIS OF ACCOUNTINGThese financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’). The Funds' significant accounting policies under IFRS are presented in Note 11. These annual financial statements were authorized for issue by the Manager's Board of Directors on March 4, 2020.

3. FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCYThese financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Funds.

4. USE OF JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATESIn preparing these financial statements, management has made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected.

(a) Judgments

Determination of functional currency

“Functional currency” is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Fund operates. If indicators of the primary economic environment are mixed, then management uses its judgment to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effect of the underlying transactions, events, and conditions. Although the Funds may have investments and transactions in a variety of currencies, the majority of the Funds’ investments and transactions are denominated in Canadian dollars. Investor subscriptions and redemptions are received and paid in Canadian dollars across all Funds. Accordingly, management has determined that the functional currency of the Funds is the Canadian dollar.

(b) Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Measurement of fair values

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in future years is included in Note 6 and relates to the determination of fair value of financial instruments.

5. FINANCIAL RISK REVIEWThis note presents information about the Funds’ exposure to each of the financial risks. For information on the Funds’ financial risk management framework, see Note 9.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation or commitment that it has entered into with the Fund, resulting in a financial loss to the Fund. The Funds are exposed to credit risk principally on corporate debt securities. The risk management strategy for the Funds is to invest primarily in debt obligations of high credit quality issuers and to limit the amount of credit exposure with respect to any one corporate issuer.

Credit risk is mitigated through diversification and by investing primarily in rated instruments or instruments issued by rated counterparties of credit rating at least BBB. The Funds receive monthly rating updates, which are reviewed accordingly. In instances where a holding’s credit rating has fallen below BBB, the Manager will dispose of the holdings, as soon as is practical. At the end of the current year there were no debt securities rated below BBB.

101

MAWER MUTUAL FUNDSNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018 continued

The fair value of debt securities includes consideration of the credit worthiness of the debt issuer. The carrying amount of debt securities investments as presented on the Schedule of Investment Portfolio represents the maximum credit risk exposure as at December 31st. This also applies to other assets as they have a short-term to settlement.

All transactions in listed securities are settled and/or paid for upon delivery using approved brokers. The risk of default is considered minimal as delivery of securities sold is only made once the broker has received payment. Payment is made on purchases once the broker has received the securities. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

There were no significant concentrations of credit risk to counterparties at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. No individual investment, other than investments in other Mawer Funds and investments in the Mawer Canadian Money Market Fund, exceeded five percent of the net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Funds’ short-term reserves are held mainly in cash and Government of Canada Treasury Bills, which are rated R-1 (high) and therefore do not have significant credit risk. The Manager monitors the financial position of the Funds daily.

Receivable for investments sold are balances due from brokers and represent sales transactions awaiting settlement. Credit risk relating to unsettled transactions is considered small as all transactions in listed securities are settled and/or paid for upon delivery using approved brokers.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that a Fund will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivery of cash or another financial asset.

The Manager’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Funds are exposed to daily cash redemptions of redeemable units. Therefore, the Funds invest the majority of their assets in investments that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed. The Funds have the ability to borrow up to 5% of net assets from the Funds’ custodian for the purpose of funding redemptions. The related costs of borrowing are based on overdraft rates of prime plus 2% and charged directly to the Fund.

To manage short-term cash flow requirements, the Funds maintain a portion of invested assets in liquid short-term notes with a term to maturity of less than 30 days that typically represents up to 10% of the Funds’ value.

All liabilities, other than outstanding units are due on demand or within three months.

The Manager is entitled to receive a management fee in respect of each Series A Unit in each Fund paid within five days following the month for which fees become payable. For redemption of units, the Funds have a contractual obligation to pay within two days after the day on which the net asset value is determined. Actual volume of redemptions varies from day to day.

(c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment or its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in the market or market segment, will affect the Funds’ income or the fair value of financial instruments. All securities present a risk of loss of capital.

The Funds’ strategy for management of market risk is through careful selection of securities within the parameters of the investment strategy. The price of a money market security is affected by individual company developments and by general economic and financial conditions including interest rate levels and movements. The value of all other securities, in particular equity securities, changes with stock market conditions. These conditions are also affected by general economic and market conditions.

(i) Interest rate risk

The Funds are exposed to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of their financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. For money market securities, during periods of rising interest rates, the interest income generated by the Fund will generally increase and during periods of falling interest rates, the interest income generated by the Fund will generally decrease. For fixed income securities, during periods of rising interest rates, the market value of the Fund’s existing fixed income securities will generally decrease and during periods of falling interest rates, the market value of the Fund’s existing fixed income securities will generally increase.

For money market securities, interest rate risk is mitigated by limiting the average term of the investments to no more than 180 days, and no more than 90 days when calculated on the basis that the term of a floating rate security is the period remaining to the date of the next rate setting.

The current operating strategy to mitigate interest rate risk for debt securities is to vary duration only within narrow limits compared to that of the benchmark.

The internal procedures require the investment manager to manage interest rate risk on a daily basis in accordance with the policies and procedures in place. The current portfolio is managed within pre-defined interest rate sensitivity to the mandated benchmark. The interest rate sensitivity of the specific mandate is measured by modified duration. A Fund’s interest rate risk is monitored on a daily basis by the investment manager’s fixed income team. If the interest rate risk is not in accordance with the investment policy or guidelines of the Fund, then the investment manager is required to rebalance the portfolio as quickly as possible after the determination of such occurrence.

MAWER MUTUAL FUNDSNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018 continued

(ii) Currency risk

The Funds invest in financial instruments and enter into transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Consequently, the Funds are exposed to risk that the exchange rate of the functional currency relative to other foreign currencies may change in a manner that has an adverse effect on the fair value or future cash flows of that portion of the Fund’s financial assets or financial liabilities that is denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar.

The Funds’ currency risk is managed on a continuous basis by the Manager in accordance with the policies and procedures in place. The primary risk management framework is to maintain broadly diversified exposure to a variety of currencies, supported by a thorough understanding of how currency price changes impact the value of the financial securities held. The Funds’ currency positions and exposures are monitored on a continuous basis by the Manager and are adjusted when deemed appropriate.

(iii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of the financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment or its issuer or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.

Price risk is managed by the Manager by appropriate diversification of individual securities. The Manager employs a long-term holding period to allow for investor recognition or corporate growth.

The internal procedures require the Manager to manage price risk on a daily basis. This is managed through daily monitoring of stock prices for equity investments within the portfolios and comparing these levels to what we believe the fair value range is for these investments. We also monitor sector exposures and have a risk management process in place that is conducted by the Manager's Chief Investment Officer.

If the price risk is not in accordance with the investment policy or guidelines of the Funds, then the Manager will attempt to rebalance the portfolio within a timeframe that mitigates the risk of capital impairment and the impact from market price movements.

The Manager monitors the concentration of risk for equity and debt securities. There were no significant concentrations of risk to issuers at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and no exposure to any individual issuer exceeded 5% of the net assets attributable to unitholders of redeemable units with the exception of Mawer Balanced Fund which is 100% invested in units of the Funds.

All investments in listed debt securities are fixed-income instruments that have a variety of maturities. The Funds expect price fluctuations for these investments to arise principally from interest rate or credit risk. As a result, the Funds are not subject to significant other price risk on these investments.

6. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS(a) Valuation techniques

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices. For all other financial instruments, the Funds determine fair values using other valuation techniques. The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

For financial instruments that trade infrequently and have little price transparency, fair value is less objective, and requires varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions, and other risks affecting the specific instrument.

The Funds measure fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:

• Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.

• Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Observable prices are usually available in the market for listed debt and equity securities. The availability of observable market prices reduces the need for management judgment and estimation and reduces the uncertainty associated with the determination of fair values. The availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending on the products and markets and is prone to changes based on specific events and general conditions in the financial markets.

The Funds may hold exchangeable securities which are valued on a formula based on the underlying exchange-traded security. The Funds may also engage in private placements where a temporary hold is placed on trading the security. In the instance where the cost

MAWER MUTUAL FUNDSNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018 continued

of the private placement is less than the market value of the freely traded security, the private placement is valued using amortization. In the instance where the amortized value of private placement becomes greater than the market value of the freely traded security, the value of the private placement is the market value of the freely traded security. At December 31, 2019, all securities held by the Funds were publicly traded. As at December 31, 2018, all securities were publicly traded with the exception of Oslo Bors VPS which was restricted from selling until August 31, 2019.

(b) Financial instruments not measured at fair value

The financial instruments not measured at fair value through profit or loss are cash, subscriptions receivable, receivable for investments sold, interest, and other receivable, dividends receivables, bank indebtedness, accrued expenses, management fee payable, redemptions payable, accounts payable for investments purchased, and distributions payable. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate fair value.

7. WITHHOLDING TAX EXPENSENet income and net realized capital gains of each Fund are distributed to unitholders each year with a view to ensure that each Fund will not be liable for ordinary income tax. Certain dividend income received from non-Canadian financial instruments is subject to withholding taxes imposed in the country of origin. During the year, the average withholding tax rate was 15% (2018 – 15%).

8. NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE TO HOLDERS OF REDEEMABLE UNITSUnitholders have the right to redeem all or any part of the units registered at the net asset value of the respective series thereof on any business day. The net asset value per unit is calculated on financial instruments quoted in an active market using closing prices. There is no difference between net assets calculated in accordance with IFRS and net assets calculated for purposes of pricing.

9. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORKThe Funds maintain positions in a variety of financial instruments in accordance with its investment management strategy as disclosed in the Funds’ annual simplified prospectus and as set out in the Schedules of Investment Portfolio.

The Funds’ Managers have been given discretionary authority to manage the assets in line with the Funds’ investment objectives. Compliance with the target asset allocations and the composition of the portfolio are monitored by the Manager’s fixed income and equity teams on a weekly basis. In instances where the portfolio has diverged from target asset allocations, the Manager is obliged to take action to rebalance the portfolio in line with the established targets as quickly as possible.

(a) Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the processes, technology, and infrastructure supporting the Funds’ activities with financial instruments, either internally within the Fund or externally at the Funds’ service providers, and from external factors other than credit, market, and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of investment management behaviour.

Each Fund's objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the limiting of financial losses and damage to their reputation with achieving their investment objectives of generating returns to investors.

The primary responsibility for development and implementation of controls over operational risk rests with the Manager’s Board of Directors. This responsibility is supported by the development of overall standards for the management of operational risk, which encompasses the controls and processes at the service providers. The Manager has a written, legally binding contract with each service provider that includes the expectations of the parties to the outsourcing arrangement. Service agreements are reviewed annually to ensure they continue to address ongoing and changing regulatory requirements.

The Board of Directors’ assessment of the adequacy of the controls and processes in place at the service providers with respect to operational risk is carried out in a manner suited to the service being provided and the provider of the services. The Manager records the monitoring process and addresses concerns with the provider as they arise.

All of the assets of the Funds are held by State Street Trust Company Canada. The bankruptcy or insolvency of the Funds’ custodian may cause the Funds’ rights with respect to the securities held by the custodian to be limited. The Manager conducts due diligence analysis including an assessment of the service provider’s reputation, financial stability, and its ability to deliver services in accordance with securities laws and other legal requirements and reviews the independent Report on Controls on internal controls annually.

(b) Capital management

The redeemable units of the Funds provide an investor with the right to require redemption for cash at a value proportionate to the investor’s share in a Fund’s net assets at each valuation date and are classified as liabilities (see Note 8). The Funds’ objectives in managing the redeemable units are to ensure a stable base to maximize returns to all investors, and to manage liquidity risk arising from redemptions. The Funds’ management of the liquidity risk arising from redeemable units is discussed in Note 5 (b).

11. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESThe Funds have consistently applied the following accounting policies to all years presented in these financial statements.

(a) Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate at that date. Foreign exchange on investments are included in foreign exchange gains (loss) on cash in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate at the date on which the fair value was determined.

(b) Interest

Interest income and expense, including interest income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized in profit or loss. The interest for distribution purposes shown on the statements of comprehensive income (loss) represents the coupon interest received by the Funds accounted for on an accrual basis. The Funds do not amortize premiums paid or discounts received on the purchase of fixed income securities except for zero coupon bonds which are amortized on a straight-line basis.

(c) Realized gains/losses and unrealized appreciation/depreciation

Realized gain/loss on sale of investments and unrealized appreciation/depreciation in investments are determined on an average cost basis. Average cost does not include amortization of premiums or discounts on fixed income securities.

The realized gain (loss) from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss represents the difference between the carrying amount of a financial instrument at the beginning of the reporting year, or the transaction price if it was purchased in the current reporting year, and its sale or settlement price.

The unrealized gain (loss) represents the difference between the carrying amount of a financial instrument at the beginning of the year, or the transaction price if it was purchased in the current reporting year, and its carrying amount at the end of the year.

(d) Dividend income and dividend expense

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the right to receive payment is established. For quoted equity securities, this is usually the ex-dividend date. For unquoted equity securities, this is usually the date on which the shareholders approve the payment of a dividend.

(e) Fees and commission expenses

Fees and commissions are recognized in profit or loss as the related services are performed. Commission costs are referred to as transaction costs in profit or loss.

(f) Tax

The Funds are qualified as “mutual fund trusts” under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and, accordingly, are not taxed on that portion of their taxable income that is paid or allocated to unitholders. As well, tax credits (based upon redemptions and realized and unrealized gains during the year) may be available that would make it possible to retain net capital gains in the Funds without any income taxes being incurred. Occasionally, more income is distributed than is earned by the Funds. This excess distribution is called a “return of capital” and is not taxable to the unitholders.

The Funds pay out sufficient net income and net realized capital gains so that they will not be subject to income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in these financial statements. Net income (interest and dividends, net of expenses) in the Mawer Global Balanced Fund, Mawer Balanced Fund, Mawer Tax Effective Balanced Fund, Mawer Global Bond Fund, Mawer Canadian Bond Fund, and the Mawer Canadian Money Market Fund, is paid to unitholders monthly. Net income in the Mawer International Equity Fund, Mawer U.S. Equity Fund, Mawer Global Equity Fund, Mawer Global Small Cap Fund, Mawer Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Mawer Canadian Equity Fund, and the Mawer New Canada Fund is paid to unitholders annually. Net capital gains, when distributed, are paid to unitholders before the end of the year. To the extent, if any, tax may be payable, the amounts are usually recoverable in the subsequent year.

Some foreign dividend and interest income received by the Funds is subject to foreign withholding taxes imposed in certain countries of origin. Income that is subject to such tax is recognized gross of the taxes and the corresponding withholding tax is recognized as withholding tax expense in profit or loss.

(g) Financial assets and financial liabilities

The classification and measurement of financial instruments is determined based on the business model as well as cash flow characteristics. Except for the Mawer Canadian Money Market Fund, the Manager assessed the Funds' business model for all financial assets and financial liabilities and determined that the focus is on fair value information and uses that information to assess the assets’ performance and to make decisions. The collection of contractual cash flows is only incidental to achieving the business model’s objective. Therefore, fair value through profit or loss is the most appropriate measurement and presentation of the Funds' financial assets and financial liabilities. For the Mawer Canadian Money Market Fund, the Fund designates its investments in fixed income securities at fair value in order to eliminate a measurement inconsistency, as the obligation for net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units is measured at fair value through profit or loss. The following accounting policies apply with respect to financial assets and financial liabilities:

(i) Recognition and initial measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized on the trade date in the Statements of Financial Position, which is the date on which the Funds become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the date on which they are originated.

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, with transaction costs recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets or financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value plus transactions costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are subsequently measured as fair value through profit or loss with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Comprehensive Income.

(ii) Classification

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:

• Derivative financial instruments.

• Debt securities and equity investments.

Financial assets at amortized cost:

• Cash, subscriptions receivable, receivable for investments sold, interest and other receivable, dividends receivable.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss:

• Securities sold short, derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost:

• Accrued expenses, management fees payable, redemptions payable, accounts payable for investments purchased, distributions payable, bank indebtedness.

(iii) Redeemable units

The Funds have multiple series of redeemable units that do not have identical features and therefore do not qualify as equity under IAS 32, Financial Instruments. The redeemable units, which are classified as financial liabilities and measured at redemption amount, provide investors with the right to require redemption, subject to liquidity, for cash at a unit price based on the Funds’ valuation policies at each redemption date. The units represent the residual interest in the Funds.

(iv) Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Fund has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.

When available, the Funds measure the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as ‘active’ if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The Funds' measure instruments quoted in an active market at closing price. If there is no activity during the day’s trading session the average of the bid/ask price is compared to the last traded price for reasonability. If the variance is equal to or exceeds 10% the price defaults to the last traded price otherwise the average of the bid/ask price is used.

If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Funds determine the value of any security on the basis of such price or yield equivalent quotations (which may be public quotations or may be obtained from major market makers) as the Manager determines best reflects its fair value.

The Funds recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting year during which the changes have occurred.

(v) Amortized cost measurement

The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount recognized and the maturity amount, minus any reduction for impairment.

(vi) Impairment

The financial assets at amortized cost are subject to loss allowances measured using the expected credit loss (“ECL”) model. Loss allowances are measured on either of the following bases: 12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The Fund's measure loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs given the nature of the financial assets subject to the impairment model. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Funds expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

(vii) Derecognition

The Funds derecognize a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Fund neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset or the carrying amount allocated to the portion of the asset that is derecognized and the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognized in profit or loss. Any interest in such transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Funds is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

The Fund may enter into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets or a portion of them. If all or substantially all of the risks and rewards are retained, then the transferred assets are not derecognized. Transfers of assets with retention of all or substantially all of the risks and rewards include sale and repurchase transactions.

The Funds derecognize a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

(viii) Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Funds have a legal right to offset the amounts and it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Income and expenses are presented on a net basis for gains and losses from financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and foreign exchange gains and losses.

12.NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTEDThe Funds have determined there are no new standards material to the Funds' financial statements arising from IFRS issued but not yet effective.
