DENVER, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mercer Global Advisors Inc. ("Mercer Advisors"), a national Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) firm, today announced that the firm has been recognized for the "Best ESG Investment Offering" in the 2022 Private Asset Management (PAM) Awards. This award marks the fifth-year in a row that Mercer Advisors has been recognized in the PAM awards with a winning initiative.
The PAM Awards* exist to recognize the top investment professionals, wealth advisers, legal firms, consultants and other key service providers in the private asset management space. Mercer Advisors came out on top in a very competitive and crowded field of major players in the ESG Investing marketplace.
Mercer Advisors' ESG Offering:
Mercer's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) offering enables clients to customize their investment portfolios based on their individual preferences and beliefs. There are no additional platform or AUM fees for having access to this level of customization. Mercer Advisors' veteran investment team incorporates ESG factors into the manager selection process and partners with the largest asset managers in the world to develop solutions and reporting frameworks to meet the growing ESG demands of high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) investors. The resulting portfolios are low-cost, tax-efficient, and truly customized solutions that are tailored to ESG investors' needs, tastes, and preferences. "We've seen enormous interest and engagement from our clients in our ESG capabilities. Once clients understand that these are decisions that they can make, not decisions somebody else makes for them, and that we've designed a program that doesn't cost them more, they get excited about the possibilities," said Don Calcagni, Chief Investment Officer.
Mercer 2030 – Mercer's Commitment to Sustainable Growth and Development:
This award-winning ESG offering is part of Mercer Advisors' commitment to the "2030 Sustainable Growth and Development Corporate Initiative," Mercer Advisors' company-wide program to fulfill the mission of becoming a sustainable organization while contributing positively to the communities it serves through a "Quadruple Bottom Line."
As part of the ambitious agenda for the United Nations Sustainable Growth and Development (UNSGD) framework, Mercer Advisors has identified 4 specific UNSDG goals that the company and its employees will focus on that align with its values as a firm and its commitment to providing the highest level of client service. These include Innovation and Responsible Growth; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI); Sustainable Environment; and Gender Equity.
"We are delighted and honored with this continued recognition from the industry for our investment offerings," said Dave Welling, CEO of Mercer Advisors. "Sustainability is a core theme of our commitment to our clients and community, and we look forward to continuing to expand our work in the ESG space."
