The acquisition will be used by Mercer to build upon Hammond’s position as the third largest investment consulting firm serving endowments and foundations in the US.

When we are competing in Europe and Asia for Endowment & Foundation or Sovereign Wealth Funds, Hammond's experience will be beneficial because of their research capabilities and depth of expertise.”
