ENDOWMENTS AND FOUNDATIONS CONSULTING

Mercer leverages more than 20 years of endowment and foundation consulting experience, globally based manager research and a flexible implementation approach to help clients reach their investment goals.

We currently serve over 170 endowments and foundations, ranging in size from $2 million to close to $2 billion in assets.

With this client base we have developed broad expertise on the issues that endowments and foundations face, including asset allocation, spending rules, governance structures, alternative investment program development and integration of spending, gifts and investment earnings models.
 

OUR TEAM

Many of our senior staff previously served as Chief or Senior Investment Officers at several universities and other plan sponsors. In addition, our senior investment professionals have been represented, or currently serve, on more than 20 non-profit investment committees and boards, including five chairmanships.

Mercer is a leading global provider of investment services, and offers customized guidance at every stage of the investment decision, risk management and investment monitoring process. We have been dedicated to meeting the needs of clients for more than 30 years, and we work with the fiduciaries of pension funds, foundations, endowments and other investors in some 35 countries. We assist with every aspect of institutional investing (and retail portfolios in some geographies), from strategy, structure and implementation to ongoing fiduciary management.
