Our DC Consultants put your scheme's members first

Defined contribution advice must deliver quantifiable value to you and your members. We do this by measuring, tracking and analysing interventions and communicating clearly with members and stakeholders. For example, when conducting a member communication campaign, we measure who has accessed the communication and how many took action. We can measure the outcomes and use this insight to improve future initiatives.

While your scheme’s DC relationship manager is ultimately responsible for the DC recommendations, advice and actions, it is important that they bring in Mercer’s wider expertise and insight when required to help achieve your and your members’ objectives. We bring in the right DC consultants at the right time. Whether it is our award-winning Responsible Investment team, our 200-person-strong global research network, communication experts or other teams offering insights, advice and execution, your DC advisor can access the right expertise for you in the right timescales to avoid issues, provide solutions and take advantage of opportunities.

Sometimes you might require a full spectrum of DC consulting advice. At other times, you may need specialist input and execution. Whether it is a regulatory point of view on ESG or DC pension provision change, climate change impact, or a DC MOT health check, we are flexible in working with you. You will have access to our comprehensive view, supporting you throughout the entire journey of the members and scheme.
