The high volume research (HVR) service provides a high level review of funds, rather than the traditional full manaer research reports and aims to help advisers identify issues with the funds into which they are considering investing client money.
The high volume monitoring (HVM) service aims to detect material changes to funds that could have an impact on outcomes.
According to the firm the services are more accessible versions of its traditional consulting model and are already being used by a number of clients. It anticipates a full roll-out in Q3 2013, and the launch comes at a time when the firm said it is seeing growing client demand in its wealth management services.
Following the launch of the services, the firm will unveil the Mercer adviser portal (MAP) which offers advisers access to forward-looking, research and analytical tools to help improve the performance of their client’s assets.
