Mawer plans Singapore expansion

Mawer Investment Management Ltd. is expanding its global presence to include a location in Singapore as of August 2013.

While Mawer has been investing successfully on a global basis for more than 30 years, the company believes this will enhance its ability to do so by providing a much greater understanding of the Asian region in general.

It will also enable more direct access to companies for research, monitoring and meeting purposes, and allow Mawer to have 24-hour coverage of global events.

Peter Lampert, an international equity analyst who has been with the company for five years, will be relocating from Mawer’s Calgary location to Singapore. His focus will be exclusively on research.
