About

Mercer Global Advisors serves individuals and families as well as small business owners, plan sponsors, foundations, non-profits, and endowments, providing discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services alongside financial, tax, retirement and estate planning and family office services. The firm delivers retirement plan consulting, charitable and non-profit advisory, and other specialized services through client agreements and custodial/clearing arrangements.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and emphasizes globally diversified, risk-appropriate portfolios with multi-factor tilts and regular rebalancing. Portfolios are implemented using a mix of low-cost ETFs and index funds, separate account managers, direct indexing, and, where suitable, interval and private funds via platforms such as Orion; Mercer also offers packaged programs (Market Series, Multifactor Series, Income Series) and tax-management options.

Mercer publishes client education content and audio programming (podcasts) and runs firm-wide events and initiatives (for example, an InvestHERs summit sponsored by Dimensional Fund Advisors and internal Academies/National Symposiums), a capability that is less common among large enterprise advisers. The firm also integrates affiliated service lines and platforms — including Mercer Advisors Tax Services (MATS), Mercer Advisors Private Asset Management and the Aspen Partners private‑fund platform, affiliated insurance and broker‑dealer entities, an attorney‑led estate planning option (ASLG), and a Wellthy caregiving concierge offering for qualifying clients — and runs an active acquisition strategy to onboard advisor teams and legacy client programs.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
