Mercer’s dedicated health care investment consulting practice partners with health care institutions to integrate investment strategy with operating and financial objectives. We take an enterprise-wide view of your financial situation in order to allocate capital to its highest return opportunity and manage risk holistically.
We know that health care organizations today are faced with tough financial management decisions as they contend with health care reform legislation and changes to the health care delivery model. Our research combines this day-to-day experience consulting with clients and understanding their needs with our global outlook on investments and markets. Whether you’re engaging in a merger or acquisition, making significant changes to your investment strategy, or consolidating short-term needs with a long-term vision, we can help provide you with a holistic understanding of the market environment and how it could affect your organization’s investments.

While each investment portfolio has its own return objective and risk constraints, comprehensive planning considers how portfolios may impact each other.
