Mercer has been named “Multi-Manager of the Year” at the Money Management /Lonsec Fund Manager of the Year Awards on Thursday 1 May.
Leader of Australia’s investment management business Gary Burke said the award recognised the hard work of Mercer’s expert team and ability to increasingly demonstrate to clients they can add value via their manager selection and innovative portfolio design strategies.
“The market has demanded an increased level of sophistication in multi-manager portfolio development and Mercer has been able to rise to meet this challenge.
“One of the key reasons we’ve won this prestigious award is the fact that our performance is enhanced by our ability to leverage our global investment research capability via our Australian based team which tailors portfolios for Australian investors,” Mr Burke said.
Mercer’s investment management team is highly credentialed including three former heads of research.
“Our team is innovative. We are prepared to back new strategies early and identify next generation managers,” said Mr Burke.
“We’ve demonstrated our innovation adopting alternative asset strategies early and in our strong preference for a smaller number of higher conviction managers in our portfolios.
“We have an excellent performance track record in comparison to our peers,” Mr Burke said.
Mercer’s investment management business is global and specialises in designing and managing multi-manager investment products.
