Mercer’s investment consulting business has been named Global Investment Consultant of the Year at the Financial News 2009 Awards for Excellence in Institutional Asset Management. The Financial News’ specialist asset management editorial team selected a list of nominees for all 25 award categories. The final winners were subsequently chosen by a panel of over 50 judges including consultants, fund management executives and marketers from across Europe. Mercer came out on top for the seventh consecutive year.
The award recognises the strength of Mercer’s investment consultancy services and the breadth and depth of its global resource. In the last year the firm’s Financial Strategy Group and the Mercer Sentinel® Group have guided an increasing number of clients through risk and back-office operations reviews – both highly pertinent considering the recent economic turmoil. The firm’s implemented consulting business, established three years ago, continued its strong growth by taking on a number of new clients.
Andrew Kirton, global head of Mercer’s investment consulting business, said: “Last year’s unprecedented market conditions created many challenges for our clients and this award is really a testament to the strength and calibre of our people, who worked hard to guide them through this uncertainty. We are delighted to have won the award which, as well as being a clear signal of our leading market position, is a recognition of our collective efforts.”
Commenting on this year’s awards ceremony, William Hutchings, asset management editor of Financial News, said: “The Financial News Awards bring together many of the key players in Europe’s evolving institutional asset management industry. This year the Awards have also recognised the increasing importance of sustainable investing and the most influential woman in asset management. All of this year's winners have delivered outstanding results in their respective fields during a year of unprecedented global economic instability and should be congratulated on their achievements.”
