Mercer's investment tools
What is MercerInsight?
MercerInsight is a suite of analytical tools developed to aid pension funds, government agencies, wealth managers, multi-managers and Mercer consultants, in selecting managers, implementing mandates, producing client reports and making informed investment decisions using Mercer’s intellectual capital. Additionally, MercerInsight allows investment managers to increase their visibility to this broad audience.
Designed in an age where information drives decisions, MercerInsight is designed to provide clients with a wide ranging, variety of investment data. Mercer continually works to improve the quality, availability and delivery of this information.
Please see below for the range of tools available.
MercerInsight MPA™ - Manager Performance Analytics
An evolution in performance analysis tools, MercerInsight MPA enables a comprehensive analysis of an investment manager’s performance against its peers, the Mercer median or a relevant index over time, and is used by plan sponsors, wealth managers, government agencies, manager of managers and over 250 investment management firms.
MercerInsight PST™ - Portfolio Structuring Tool
MercerInsight PST is a global, online, collaborative consulting software tool designed to help users perform asset allocation and portfolio structuring studies and decisions in a unified framework using mean-variance optimisation. The tool provides a high degree of control over the asset and portfolio characteristics at each stage during its construction.
The power of MercerInsight PST lies in its ability to integrate easy to use software with our intellectual capital in a seamless manner.
The software can be used with either your own proprietary assumptions, on capital markets and portfolio alpha returns or with Mercer's assumptions, providing you with direct access to Mercer's intellectual capital.
Mercer GIMD™ - Global Investment Manager Database
Mercer GIMD is a truly global investment manager database designed primarily for the institutional market. It is a proprietary online database allowing investment managers to market to a global investor base with assets under management of US$ 3 trillion. The database acts as an online request for proposal, allowing managers to store all types of manager information; firm-wide demographic details, investment product details and performance returns. It also provides a base for Mercer researchers to conduct over 2,000 manager visits each year, enabling them to produce research and ratings on manager’s investment products for our consultants and GIMD subscribers to view.
The database is ever expanding, with over 3,700 investment manager entries and over 20,000 investment products. The entries are maintained by the investment managers themselves with regional helpdesks available to provide support if required.
