Mercer has secured a significant new mandate, announcing this week that it has signed a seven-year administration services agreement with corporate fund Mercy Super.
Mercy Super has 12,000 members, assets of $700 million and covers Brisbane’s Mater Hospital and related businesses associated with Mercy Partners.
Mercer said the fund would be its largest Queensland client, with the fund transitioning to Mercer by 1 April.
The super fund announced that Gregory has been appointed to its executive leadership team, taking on the fresh role of chief advice officer.
The deputy governor has warned that, as super funds’ overseas assets grow and liquidity risks rise, they will need to expand their FX hedge books to manage currency exposure effectively.
Super funds have built on early financial year momentum, as growth funds deliver strong results driven by equities and resilient bonds.
The super fund has announced that Mark Rider will step down from his position of chief investment officer (CIO) after deciding to “semi-retire” from full-time work.
