12% is a lot for members to smile about
With returns of 12%1 for the majority of members in Mercer SmartPath®, Mercer Super has outperformed many of our largest competitors and delivered strong results for members in FY 2023.2
How we did it:
Despite the world’s central banks battling inflation with higher interest rates, share markets continued to rally, encouraged by declining inflation numbers and the prospect of a soft economic landing. And let’s not forget the solid contribution from our unlisted infrastructure and property assets.
These returns show the power of sticking to our long-term investment strategy. Despite global economic growth slowing, our investment strategy has stood the test of time and ultimately that’s making a real difference in our members’ lives.
Welcome to a brighter financial future!
