Mercer has launched a new strategic asset allocation approach for its multi-manager funds. The new approach will provide investors with better protection against future periods of extreme market volatility, while offering competitive returns. Mercer has employed a new process that delivers a ‘two-dimensional’ classification of assets, which in turn offers a more sophisticated classification of investment risk. The new asset allocation follows a strategic review last year and takes effect from March 1.
