Mercer has expanded its investment team with three senior appointments. Adam Lane and Jemma Beattie will join the investment advisory team to meet growing demand from clients looking to refine their de-risking journey and investment strategies.
Meanwhile, Alexa Shanks will join as head of intermediary relations, a newly created role, with responsibility for working with the third party evaluators (TPEs) that recommend and evaluate fiduciary managers.
All three new hires join as principals and will report to Dan Melley, head of UK investments at Mercer.
Lane joins from PWC where he led the investment practice. He has over 15 years’ experience in cash flow driven investment strategies as well as local authority experience.
Beattie joins from Hymans Robertson where she was an investment consultant and qualified actuary. She has almost 15 years’ experience with strong journey planning, LDI and risk transfer experience.
Shanks joins from Invesco where she was a consultant relations director. Prior to this she was an institutional client director at Insight Investment.
Melley says: “All three appointments position us well for our growth trajectory in both investment advisory and delegated solutions.”
