Companies are used to addressing the myriad of challenges they face and still achieving success outcomes. So are we. Mercer’s clients have access to a wide range of specialist advisers, allowing them to benefit from our range of expertise — all under one roof. Mercer constantly innovates, which means our solutions evolve to meet the changing needs of our clients.
Whether you’re starting out on a journey in order to set objectives or looking to take the final step, there are a number of ways Mercer can help:
TOOLS & RESEARCH
• Our state-of-the-art modelling tools (link to PFaroe) illustrate the costs and risks of various funding scenarios.
• Our Innovation, Policy and Research group works full time to research the impact of economic trends on funding and liaises with the government and the Pensions Regulator on pension policy.
• Our regular valuation survey (link to press release) helps sponsors to understand how their funding approaches compare to their peers’ and the market in general.
ADVICE
• Our team of specialists integrates seamlessly across funding, investment and covenant.
• We consider a range of liability management options as a way to mitigate funding requirements, reduce risk and contributions, and provide better outcomes for members.
• Our asset-backed financing specialists were some of the first to advise on asset-backed financing vehicles as a way to mitigate funding and cash requirements. Our expertise in this area means we can develop solutions that benefit sponsors and trustees alike.
SOLUTIONS
• Our Cash-Flow-Driven Financing (CDF) solution (link to CDF page) has won awards for the most innovative integrated funding and investment solution.
• Our DB Buyout Zone package aligns the administration, funding and investment of your scheme with a goal of reaching buyout within three to five years.
• Partnering with our sister company, Marsh (link to Marsh site), we have brokered a number of surety bond structures to provide sponsors with lower cash contributions and trustees with additional security.
