Mawer Launches Private Equity Fund
CALGARY, Alberta, July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mawer Investment Management Ltd. (Mawer) today launched the Mawer Private Equity Fund (the Fund), bringing its established private equity strategy to Mawer Private Wealth clients.
The Fund builds on Mawer's private equity track record, which was established with the launch of Mawer Partners LP (MPLP) in February 2022. MPLP provides accredited investors with access to growth and buyout private equity investments across primary funds, secondaries, co-investments, and direct deals. The new Fund expands availability to registered accounts and integrates the strategy directly into Mawer's discretionary platform, with a lower minimum investment of $25,000. The Fund is managed by Portfolio Managers Peter Lieu, CFA and Paul Moroz, CFA, who also manage Mawer Partners LP.
"Evaluating business quality and management teams is a discipline Mawer has developed over 50 years in public markets, and it translates directly to private equity. The Mawer Private Equity Fund gives our Private Wealth clients a straightforward way to invest in a traditionally complex asset class, with a simpler and attractive fee structure." — Peter Lieu, CFA, Portfolio Manager, Private Investments
