Calgary-based Mawer Investment Management Ltd. has launched a new equity fund that will provide investors with exposure to large- and small-capitalization companies in emerging markets.

Mawer Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s focus on small-cap companies will differentiate it from other mutual funds and ETFs that invest in the emerging markets as many look for the largest companies in the region, according to an announcement the firm issued on Tuesday.

“We focus on large- and small cap-companies with strong business models, excellent management teams and attractive stock valuations,” says Peter Lampert, Mawer’s portfolio manager for the new fund, in a statement.
