Mercer SmartPath™

An Investment Strategy For The Future


 

Mercer SmartPath helps your members achieve an adequate retirement income that is aligned to their lifestyle and needs by:

- Managing the complexity inherent with the increase in choice post-April 2015.
- Providing flexibility for you to adapt the framework to match the profile of your members.
- Enabling employees to target their preferred outcome as they approach retirement.

Defined contributions — refined for your organization

How It Works

Mercer SmartPath provides controlled choice while delivering appropriate investment strategies for each of the three at-retirement options — cash, drawdown or an annuity:

- The scheme decides which destination is most appropriate for their members and this is selected as the default.
- Members are invested in a growth fund dynamically managed by Mercer which aims for long-term capital growth.
- Employees then select their desired outcome as they approach retirement and are better equipped to make this choice.
