Mercer’s Investment Beliefs

Our world-renowned investment process is underpinned by five core beliefs – each tailored to provide clients with sophisticated solutions that suit their individual objectives.

  • Risk management

    We believe in the merits of genuine diversification and that asset allocation is the most important decision an investor can make.

  • Active management

    Active management is a skill and our investment manager research process can improve the likelihood of identifying skilful investment managers. We also offer a number of passively managed funds.

  • Dynamic asset allocation

    Implementing medium-term asset allocation changes in response to changing market conditions can add value and/or mitigate risk in a portfolio.

  • Operational efficiency

    Investment returns can be enhanced by having a monitoring and governance framework that focuses on evaluating and quantifying investment efficiency.

  • Sustainability

    Taking a sustainable investment view may create and preserve long-term investment capital.
