Through MFW, our research team scores their view of the Fund’s prospects from 1 (low) to 5 (high) stars. As Environmental Social Governance (ESG) factors are increasingly important, a separate rating on the integration of ESG factors within the investment process is also provided as a score from 1 (high) to 4 (low).
Private banks, family offices, wealth managers, individual investors, and financial advisers can access Mercer FundWatch ratings when making investment fund selection decisions.
We believes the probability of identifying alpha is enhanced by using a manager research process that is research driven, repeatable, evidence based and flexible.
Each rating takes a team of researchers and analysts to generate, producing sophisticated analysis that is presented in a quick and easily accessible format.
