Mercer appoints new global head of infrastructure

Mercer has appointed Toby Buscombe as its new global head of infrastructure investments, global head of investment research.

Buscombe joined Mercer in 2011 as infrastructure leader for EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) after more than a decade's experience in direct investment focused on infrastructure, other real assets and private equity.

"The infrastructure team at Mercer is a robust specialist group within Mercer's Investments business and the appointment of Toby, with more than a decade's worth of direct investment experience focused on infrastructure, other real assets and private equity, is a reflection of the group's professionalism and bench strength," said Mercer's Deb Clarke.

Buscombe was most recently a partner and head of Europe for global alternatives adviser and asset manager Access Capital Advisers.

Buscombe succeeds Karen Chester, who has been appointed a Commissioner of the Australian Productivity Commission.

"Karen's appointment to this important Australian government position, where she will be jointly leading an economic reform agency that has been given a far-reaching mandate by the new Australian government, reflects favorably on the calibre of personnel at Mercer, where our professionals are of interest to Governments seeking to fill roles at such a senior level," Clarke said.
