Mercer, the global consultant, has been granted a Hong Kong licence from the Securities & Futures Commission, allowing it sell global investment solutions to local professional investors. 

These implemented investment solutions include portfolio construction and funds management using Mercer’s own suite of multi-manager investment funds and options, which range from equities to real assets such as property and infrastructure, to alternatives, fixed interest and cash.

“With the Type 1 licence, we want to help institutional investors in this region access a range of assets globally to build more diverse and robust investment portfolios so that they are better able to deal with market volatility and achieve their investment objectives,” said Stephen Roberts, Mercer’s regional business leader, investments, Asia-Pacific.

Mercer manages more than $US58 billion and advises on more than $US5 trillion globally.
