Mercer, a global leader in redefining the world of work,
reshaping retirement and investment outcomes, and unlocking real
health and well-being, and a business of Marsh McLennan (NYSE:
MMC), has named Max Messervy Head of Sustainable Investment (SI),
Americas. Max will work across Mercer’s Investment & Retirement
business to help bring Mercer’s expertise and scale to uncover top
sustainable investment opportunities for its clients around the
world.
“Today, 36 percent of workers worldwide are looking for their
organization to offer socially responsible and
environmentally-friendly investing options in their company’s
retirement plans, according to Mercer’s 2022 Global Talent Trends
study. Combined with continuing regulatory change, particularly in
the US from the Department of Labor and the Securities Exchange
Commission, investors and plan sponsors need to be constantly
thinking about how to meet the changing demands of their
stakeholders as well as their regulatory obligations. Amid a
growing market for sustainable investment strategies, investors are
looking for robust approaches to managing the risks of climate
change and other ESG issues. They also need to understand how to
invest and avoid greenwashing when evaluating ESG products,” said
Max Messervy.
Mercer’s award-winning Sustainable Investment (SI) team has over
20 dedicated professionals and 45 with integrated SI capabilities
globally.1 Across Mercer’s Outsourced Chief Investment Officer
(OCIO) practice globally to date, Mercer has committed more than
USD $80B of diversified funds to net-zero targets and implemented
USD $30B in dedicated sustainable investment solutions, across 13
products. Additionally, outside the US, Mercer’s Private Investment
Partners (PIP) strategies have deployed capital over the past eight
years as part of its dedicated Global Impact strategy2. In the US,
PIP VI3, the sixth vintage in Mercer’s PIP series, also featured a
newly created fund, “Leap”, which is a dedicated diversity, equity
and inclusion-focused (DE&I) strategy available to US
investors.
“Mercer’s clients understand the increasing pressure to balance
their fiduciary obligations with the interests of broader
stakeholders and new ESG and climate-related regulations,” Messervy
added. “The shift from voluntary, investor-led sustainability
approaches towards greater regulatory scrutiny of sustainable
investment practices will impact investors of all sizes across all
sectors.”
Based in Boston, Max will be responsible for sustainable
investments for clients across North and South America and report
to Jo Holden, Global Head of Investment Research, Mercer.
“Since joining Mercer in 2018, Max has helped dozens of clients
navigate the shifting regulatory and stakeholder pressures around
sustainable investment issues,” said Jo Holden. “His diverse
experience with private, government, and not-for-profit sectors
will be valuable in helping asset owners as they pursue strong
risk-adjusted returns in an increasingly complex environment.”
Max previously held the role of Senior Consultant in Mercer’s US
Sustainable Investment team, serving as a strategic advisor on
sustainable investment strategies, climate change, and impact
investment approaches throughout investment processes. Prior to
joining Mercer, Max spent nearly four years working in the
Insurance practice at Ceres in Boston, a leading not-for-profit
sustainability advocacy organization, and worked in various
capacities with Canadian federal and provincial governments. Max
holds a Master of Public Policy from the Luskin School of Public
Affairs at UCLA, and an Honors Religious Studies degree from McGill
University.
Mercer’s climate transition advice and Analytics for Climate
Transition (ACT) tool has been used by nearly thirty clients
representing about USD $800B in assets globally since its launch in
November 2020. The company also actively participates in the US and
UK Investment Consultants Sustainability Working Group (ICSWG)
initiatives and many global climate and sustainability industry
initiatives.
Mercer is a business of Marsh McLennan, which has made the

to support the transition to a low carbon economy.
