Wins 12th investment award in 10 years

TORONTO, Feb. 6, 2013 /CNW/ - Trimark Investments, part of Invesco Canada Ltd., was honoured once again at the annual Canadian Lipper Fund Awards ceremony held last night in Toronto. Taking top spot in the Global Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund category over 3 years, Trimark Global Small Companies Class was named best fund out of 24 funds.

The Lipper Fund Awards pay tribute to those funds that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance, relative to their peers.

"This latest recognition from Lipper is further evidence that Trimark's disciplined, value-oriented investment style continues to drive performance that is among the best in the Canadian investment industry," said Peter Intraligi, President, Invesco Canada. "Through some extremely challenging markets the Trimark Investments team's unwavering commitment to our time-tested discipline is clearly paying off for investors."

This Lipper win is the most recent in a number of investment awards bestowed on the wider Trimark Investments team over the years, and the twelfth for the Trimark Small-Cap Equities team in the past decade ¹.

"In an environment like today's, where uncertainty is rampant, global investing is more important than ever," said Rob Mikalachki, Trimark Investments Head of Small-Cap Equities and lead manager on Trimark Global Small Companies Class. "It gives you the flexibility to search jurisdictions anywhere in the world to find the very best investment ideas; an approach that has proven to be a winning strategy for delivering lasting value to our investors."

With Trimark Global Small Companies Class, Mikalachki, Virginia Au and Jason Whiting invest in a focused portfolio of exceptional small-cap companies throughout the world with sustainable competitive advantages and demonstrated growth potential.

This is the second win in recent months for the team, after Trimark U.S. Small Companies Class was named best U.S. Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund at the Morningstar Canadian Investment Awards in November 2012.
