Mercer expands to Parramatta
Mercer's financial advice business has expanded to Parramatta to tap into Sydney's rapidly growing west.
The firm said they would be more accessible to financial advice customers in Western Sydney and would be able to better service the needs of the firm's growing Mercer Super Trust client base.
Mercer financial advice leader (Pacific), Michelle Smith, said "we are committed to improving the prosperity of Australians, and the expansion to Parramatta places us at the geographical heart of Sydney and major business, government and commercial hub".
"For our clients this means access to on-the-ground financial advisers, tapped into a global network of researchers and investment experts currently advising on $190 trillion of assets worldwide," she said.
The advice provided by the team includes wealth accumulation strategies, wealth protection strategies, and the intergenerational transfer of wealth.
