Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Mercer Aspire Active Global Equity Unhedged.

Active Global Equity Unhedged invests in a diversified mix of international equities. The fund can hold stocks across regions such as North America, Europe ex-UK, Asia-Pacific ex-Japan, the UK and Japan. Its portfolio is actively managed and includes large global companies such as Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Apple.

Active Global Equity Unhedged uses an active, multi-manager approach run by Mercer Global Investment Europe Limited. Specialist active managers are selected, regularly monitored and replaced where necessary, and Mercer regularly reviews the allocations to managers and underlying equities. This means the fund’s holdings can change over time as Mercer adjusts the portfolio.

Active Global Equity Unhedged is aimed at people with more than seven years to retirement and/or those willing to accept rises and falls in value in pursuit of long-term growth. The fund is designed for investors who can stay invested for the long term and tolerate equity market volatility. Active Global Equity Unhedged is therefore more suited to growth-focused investors than those seeking capital stability.

Active Global Equity Unhedged stands out for its specialist multi-manager structure and Mercer’s ongoing oversight of both managers and allocations. The fund also seeks to promote environmental characteristics under Article 8 of the SFDR. In plain language, that means it includes sustainability considerations, although only part of the portfolio is assessed against EU environmental sustainability criteria.

Active Global Equity Unhedged highlights inflation risk, currency risk and manager risk. Inflation risk means rising prices can reduce what the investment returns can buy over time; currency risk means exchange-rate movements can affect returns when investing internationally. Manager risk means the fund could be hurt if the selected managers make poor decisions or underperform.
