Mercer is named Risk Management Firm of the Year at the 2009 European Pensions Awards


UK
London, 13 July 2009

 

Mercer has won the Risk Management Firm of the Year category at the 2009 European Pensions Awards, organised by European Pensions magazine. The award was presented to Mercer for its role in helping pension funds across Europe develop new and robust risk management strategies tailored to the challenges they faced throughout 2008. A panel of judges, consisting of 22 senior names from the European pensions industry, voted Mercer the winner.

 

David Fogarty, European head of Mercer’s Financial Strategy Group, commented: “We are delighted to have won this award. It reflects the European pension industry’s confidence in our risk management advice.”

 

“Last year’s unprecedented global financial market volatility confirmed our view that having a robust risk management strategy is critical for any pension fund. We remain conscious of the challenging environment facing our clients and have worked to ensure they get the best solution for their particular needs.”

The group brings together Mercer’s expertise in investment strategy, banking products, insurance research and longevity solutions to provide an integrated approach to pension cost and risk management.
