New York, October 13, 2016 - Mercer, a global consulting leader in advancing health, wealth and careers, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies (NYSE: MMC) today announced a partnership with FactSet, a leading provider of integrated financial information and analytical applications. As part of the partnership, Mercer will offer its MercerInsight performance data and analytics to FactSet’s North American clients on the FactSet platform.

Among a wide array of products, MercerInsight, a cloud-based platform for asset managers, provides performance data and analytics (formerly Mercer Manager Performance Analytics (“MPA”)) on over 29,000 strategies across multiple traditional and alternative asset classes to its subscribers. Through this new partnership, FactSet customers in the United States and Canada have the ability to subscribe to the Mercer performance data and analytics and integrate such information directly with local databases or analytic tools already available in their workflow on the FactSet platform.

“We are excited to offer our clients the same performance data and analytics available to MercerInsight subscribers, leveraging Mercer’s extensive investment consulting experience to enhance FactSet’s offering in the institutional market,” explained Drew Cronin, VP, Director of Analytics Strategy at FactSet.  “This partnership expands on our multi-asset class solution, providing broad coverage of both traditional and alternative asset managers."

MercerInsight performance data and analytics is a web-based performance evaluation tool that enables comprehensive analysis of institutional track records versus competitors’ track records, “Mercer universes”, or market indices. These analytical capabilities of MercerInsight, in combination with professional charts and graphs, make this a powerful presentation package for investment managers in communicating with their investors.

“FactSet’s high quality customer service and its ability to seamlessly integrate data within the customer's workflow are only a few of the reasons we are excited about the FactSet partnership,” said David Eisenberg, Director of Client Consulting, Mercer Investments, “Having our peer universes and analytics available through FactSet is a major benefit to investment managers and clients working to better position and evaluate their investment products.”
