Mercer has won the key implemented consulting mandate with TAL Superannuation (TASL).
TAL announced the mandate this week, stating it had appointed Mercer for six years following the results of a tender process completed earlier this year.
Confirming the appointment, TAL Group chief executive and managing director, Brett Clark said TAL Superannuation’s independent appointment of Mercer would support the fund to continue delivering sustainable returns to its members.
“The tender process confirmed Mercer’s deep expertise in the superannuation sector as well as the high calibre of their people and processes,” he said.
Clark said that while a number of quality candidates were considered in the tender process, Mercer had been judged to best meet TASL’s requirements.
Mercer will begin its role form 1 October.
