Smart Design
 

Mercer SmartPath is an innovative approach to delivering retirement incomes – one that recognises that superannuation isn’t just there to create wealth, but to deliver an adequate and sustainable income throughout each members’ retirement.

We’ve designed Mercer SmartPath to meet members’ needs as they age. Members are placed in a fund based on their date of birth. The funds are grouped into five-year age bands. Younger members commencing their retirement savings journey will start with an allocation of approximately 90% growth assets. As they get older, they will automatically and gradually ‘glide’ from a growth-oriented investment strategy to a balanaced investment strategy. Mercer closely manages the investment strategy for each age band, having careful consideration of likely risk tolerance, liquidity needs, opportunities for tax efficiency and income requirements.

The Mercer SmartPath Funds combine Mercer’s best ideas across all aspects of investment strategy design and implementation. The Mercer SmartPath glidepath, shown below, works not just to but through retirement to help members achieve an adequate and sustainable retirement income.
