Implemented investment solutions

Outsourcing investment activities enables trustees to focus on strategic pension issues

Today's trustees demand more from their investment arrangements. Many now see the advantages of using a fiduciary management or delegated consulting approach.

Mercer's implemented investment solutions could provide several major benefits to trustees, including:

Enhanced performance	Better governance
Better management of risk	Greater cost savings
Improved efficiency	Faster decision making to exploit market opportunities

Our range of implemented investment solutions allows trustees to focus their time and skills where they matter most - establishing long-term strategic objectives and setting overall risk and return parameters. Thereafter, trustees can delegate day-to-day investment decision making and execution to Mercer, including:

Establishment of the right mix between matching and growth assets

Allocation to a diversified range of growth assets and also creating and implementing a tailored liability hedge programme

Ongoing selection and de-selection of independent, specialist investment managers
