Mercer Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2022

1. Organization
  Mercer Funds (the “Trust”) consists of the following seven series: Mercer US Large Cap Equity Fund (“Large Cap”), Mercer US Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund (“Small/Mid Cap”), Mercer Non-US Core Equity Fund (“Non-US Core Equity”), Mercer Core Fixed Income Fund (“Core Fixed”), Mercer Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund (“Opportunistic Fixed”), Mercer Emerging Markets Equity Fund (“Emerging Markets”) and Mercer Global Low Volatility Equity Fund (“Global Low Volatility”) (each a “Fund,” and collectively referred to as the “Funds”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust established on March 11, 2005. The Trust is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Mercer Investments LLC (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser manages each Fund using a “manager of managers” approach by selecting one or more sub-advisers (each a “Sub-adviser,” and collectively referred to as the “Sub-advisers”) to manage each Fund's assets. The Funds are open-end investment companies and accordingly follow the open-end investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946: Financial Services — Investment Companies.
  Under the 1940 Act, each Fund is classified as diversified.
  The investment objectives of the Funds are:
    
Fund   Investment Objective
Large Cap   Long-term total return, which includes capital appreciation and income
Small/Mid Cap   Long-term total return, comprised primarily of capital appreciation
Non-US Core Equity   Long-term total return, which includes capital appreciation and income
Core Fixed   Total return, consisting of both current income and capital appreciation
Opportunistic Fixed   Long-term total return, which includes capital appreciation and income
Emerging Markets   Long-term total return, which includes capital appreciation and income
Global Low Volatility   Long-term total return, which includes capital appreciation and income
Each Fund has registered and is authorized to offer interests in four classes of shares: Adviser Class, Class I, Class Y-2 and Class Y-3. The principal difference between the classes of shares is the level of shareholder service, marketing and administrative fees borne by the classes. As of September 30, 2022, Class Y-3 shares were outstanding in each of the Funds and Class I shares were outstanding in the Non-US Core Equity and Core Fixed.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
  The following are significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

  (a) Security Valuation
  Each Fund’s investments are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day when the NYSE is open. Portfolio securities and exchange-traded funds listed on an exchange normally are valued at the last sale or official closing price on the day on which the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price using prices as of the close of trading. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are generally valued on the exchange considered by the Adviser or the applicable Sub-adviser as the primary market for such securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price; other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price available prior to valuation (other than short-term investments, which are valued as described below). The Funds may invest in securities that are traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities will be converted into U.S. dollar equivalents based on the exchange rate in effect at a uniform time on each business day. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair-valued securities. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
  Certain fixed-income securities may be valued based upon appraisals received from an independent pricing service using a computerized matrix system or based upon appraisals derived from information concerning the securities or similar securities received from a recognized dealer or dealers in those securities. It should be recognized that judgment often plays a greater role in valuing thinly traded securities, as well as bonds and other securities with few dealer quotations, than is the case with respect to securities for which a broader range of dealer quotations and last-sale information is available. Each such determination is based on consideration of relevant factors, and judgment is made by or at the direction of the Board. Each Fund values its investments for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Each Fund may value short-term investments that will mature within 60 days or less by using pricing service quotations or at amortized cost, provided that such amortized cost approximates market value.
  Derivative financial instruments, such as futures contracts or options contracts that are traded on a national securities exchange, are stated at the last reported sale or settlement price on the day of valuation. Futures traded on inactive markets are valued using broker quotations. OTC derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency contracts, options contracts, synthetic futures, or swaps agreements, derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of an independent pricing service providers or broker/dealer quotations. Depending on the derivative type and the terms of the derivative, the value of the derivative financial instruments is assigned by independent pricing service providers using a series of techniques, which may include pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, volatilities, dividends and exchange rates.
  Bank loans are valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, yield curves, prepayment speeds, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institutional size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
  The Board has delegated its responsibility for valuing portfolio securities to the Adviser, subject to continuing Board oversight. The Adviser has appointed a Valuation Committee that is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day process of valuing portfolio securities. With respect to portfolio securities for

  which market quotations are not readily available or (in the opinion of the Adviser or the applicable Sub-adviser) do not otherwise accurately reflect the fair values of the securities, the Valuation Committee will value such securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board. In that regard, at September 30, 2022, substantially all foreign equity securities held by Non-US Core Equity, Emerging Markets and Global Low Volatility were fair valued using valuations provided by an independent valuation service consistent with the valuation procedures approved by the Board.
  The application of fair value pricing represents a good faith determination based on specific procedures performed under the supervision of the Board. Due to the subjective nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that the Fund could realize the fair value assigned to the security if the Fund were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per share. The Fund’s value for a particular security may be different from the last quoted market price.
  The Funds follow a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value.  The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
Level 1 — quoted prices unadjusted in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The assets and liabilities shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities related to investments purchased for “to-be-announced” (“TBA”) commitments or when-issued securities approximate fair value and are determined using Level 2 inputs, as of September 30, 2022.  The assets and liabilities shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities related to cash collateral held at broker for futures contracts and swap contracts are determined using Level 1 inputs as of September 30, 2022. 
At September 30, 2022, Large Cap and Small/Mid Cap held long-term investments whose value was determined using Level 1 inputs, with corresponding major categories as shown in the Schedule of Investments, as well as the “Mutual Fund - Securities Lending Collateral” and the “Futures Contracts” sections whose values were determined using Level 1 inputs.

Netting Agreements and Collateral Requirements
In order to better define contractual rights under derivative contracts and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, a sub-adviser may, on behalf of a Fund, enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with certain collateral held and/or posted and create a net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Absent an event of default by the counterparty or termination of the agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across the transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. The right to offset and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the Fund's credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Fund under the applicable transactions, if any. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund's net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of their ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash

collateral held at broker or cash collateral due to broker, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by or received by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required, which is determined each day at the close of business of the Fund, typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under an ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement and any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Fund on the next business day. Typically, the Fund and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
The Funds are required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowings transactions that are eligible for offset or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. The Funds' derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by risk are presented in the tables above. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Only forward foreign currency contracts, OTC swaps and OTC options assets and liabilities are subject to master netting agreements. An exception to this, Opportunistic Fixed is not a party to an ISDA master agreement with Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
The following tables present the Funds' derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a Master Netting Agreement (“MNA”) and net of related collateral received by the Funds for assets or pledged by the Funds for liabilities as of September 30, 2022.

* In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the derivative asset or liability due to overcollateralization.
(b)  Securities transactions and related investment income
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income, net of applicable withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date, if later. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, and is adjusted for amortization of premium and discounts for debt securities. Income is not recognized, nor are premium and discount amortized on securities for which collection is not expected.  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the respective country's tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds determine the classification of distributions received as return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income on inflation indexed securities is accrued daily based upon an inflation-adjusted principal.  Additionally, any increase in the principal or face amount of these securities is recorded as interest income. In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities is determined on the identified-cost basis.
(c)  Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and bank balances as well as short-term investments with a maturity of less than three months from the acquisition date.
A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in short-term debt securities (including repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements) of corporations, the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and banks and finance companies, which may be denominated in any currency.
A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in shares issued by money market mutual funds. A Fund also

may invest in collective investment vehicles that are managed by an unaffiliated investment manager, pending investment of the Fund’s assets in portfolio securities. When unusual market conditions warrant, a Fund may make substantial temporary defensive investments in cash equivalents, up to a maximum of 100% of the Fund's net assets. Cash equivalent holdings may be in any currency. When a Fund invests for temporary defensive purposes, such investments may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
(d)  Securities lending
A Fund may lend its portfolio securities to qualified broker/dealers and financial institutions pursuant to agreements, provided: (1) the loan is secured continuously by collateral marked to market daily and maintained in an amount at least equal to the current fair value of the securities loaned; (2) the Fund may call the loan at any time and receive the securities loaned; (3) the Fund will receive any interest or dividends paid on the loaned securities; and (4) the aggregate fair value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed 33 1/3% of the total assets of the Fund. Collateral will consist of U.S. and non-U.S. securities, cash equivalents or irrevocable letters of credit. A liability for cash collateral is reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As with other extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in collateral in the event of default or insolvency of a borrower of a Fund’s portfolio securities. A Fund may not retain voting rights on securities while they are on loan.
Certain Funds may from time to time participate in a securities lending program under which the Funds’ custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”), acting as securities lending agent, is authorized to lend the Funds' portfolio securities to qualified broker/dealers and financial institutions that post appropriate collateral. The Custodian has agreed to indemnify the Funds in case of default of any security borrower.
Securities on loan are fully collateralized and the collateral was equal to or exceeded the securities on loan at September 30, 2022. If the market value of the collateral at the close of trading on a business day is less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at the close of trading on that day, the borrower shall be required to deliver, by the close of business on the following business day, an additional amount of collateral so that the total amount of posted collateral is equal to at least 100% of the market value of all the loaned securities as of such preceding day. Cash collateral is invested in the State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Premier Class. The Custodian receives a portion of the interest earned on any reinvested collateral. The market value of securities on loan to borrowers and the value of collateral held by the Funds with respect to such loans at September 30, 2022 were as follows:
  Market Value of
Loaned Securities
  Value of
Cash Collateral
  Value of

(e)  Swaps
Swap contracts are derivatives in the form of a contract or similar instrument, which is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. A Fund may engage in swaps, including, but not limited to, interest rate, currency, credit default, index, and total return swaps, and the purchase or sale of related caps, floors, collars, and other derivative instruments. A Fund expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of the portfolio, to modify the portfolio’s duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, or to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible.
Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) with respect to a notional amount of principal. Up-front payments received or made are reflected as “up-front net premiums received” or “up-front net premiums paid”, respectively, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Currency swaps involve the exchange of cash flows on a notional amount based on changes in the values of referenced currencies.
208


Mercer Funds

September 30, 2022

The credit default swaps may have as reference obligations one or more securities that are not currently held by a Fund. The protection “buyer” in a credit default swap agreement is generally obligated to pay the protection “seller” an upfront or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event, such as a default, on a reference obligation has occurred. If a credit event occurs, the seller generally must pay the buyer the “par value” (full notional value) of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity described in the swap, or the seller may be required to deliver the related net cash amount, if the swap is cash settled. A Fund may be either the buyer or seller in the transaction. If a Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund may recover nothing if the swap is held through its termination date. However, if a credit event occurs, the buyer generally may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity whose value may have significantly decreased. As a seller, a Fund generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
The spread of a credit default swap is the annual amount the protection buyer must pay the protection seller over the length of the contract, expressed as a percentage of the notional amount. When spreads rise, market perceived credit risk rises and when spreads fall, market perceived credit risk falls. Wider credit spreads and decreasing market values, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and an increased market perception that there is a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values, as well as the annual payment rates, serve as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk.
In a total return swap, the buyer receives a periodic return equal to the total return of a specified security, securities or index for a specified period of time. In return, the buyer pays the counterparty a fixed or variable stream of payments, typically based upon short-term interest rates, possibly plus or minus an agreed upon spread. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of exchange rates, interest rates, securities, or the index.
Swaps do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive.
The equity swaps in which a Fund may invest involve agreements with a counterparty. The return to the Fund on any equity swap contract will be the total return on the notional amount of the contract as if it were invested in the stocks comprising the contract index in exchange for an interest component based on the notional amount of the agreement. The Fund will only enter into an equity swap contract on a net basis, i.e., the two parties’ obligations are netted out, with the Fund paying or receiving, as the case may be, only the net amount of the payments. Payments under an equity swap contract may be made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term.
Whether a Fund’s use of swaps or swap options will be successful in achieving the Fund’s investment objective will depend on the Sub-adviser’s ability to predict correctly whether certain types of investments are likely to produce greater returns than other investments. Moreover, a Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap contract in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap counterparty. The Funds will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness.
209


Mercer Funds

September 30, 2022

If there is a default by the counterparty to an uncleared swap, a Fund will be limited to contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. There is no assurance that a swap counterparty will be able to meet its obligations pursuant to a swap or that, in the event of a default, a Fund will succeed in pursuing contractual remedies. A Fund thus assumes the risk that it may be delayed in, or prevented from, obtaining payments owed to it pursuant to a swap. However, the amount at risk is, subject to some exceptions, generally only the net unrealized gain, if any, on the swap not the entire notional amount. The Sub-adviser that enters into the swap will closely monitor, subject to the oversight of the Board, the creditworthiness of swap counterparties in order to minimize the counterparty risk of swaps.
Because swaps are two party contracts that may be subject to contractual restrictions on transferability and termination, and they may have terms of greater than seven days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid and subject to a Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. However, the Trust has adopted procedures pursuant to which the Adviser may determine that swaps (including swap options) are liquid under certain circumstances. To the extent that a swap is not liquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted in July 2010. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act sets forth a regulatory framework for certain OTC derivatives, such as swaps. The Dodd-Frank Act requires certain swap transactions to be executed on registered exchanges or through swap execution facilities, cleared through a regulated clearinghouse, and publicly reported. In addition, many market participants who were not previously required to register are regulated as swap dealers or major swap participants, and are, or will be, subject to certain minimum capital and margin requirements and business conduct standards.
Certain standardized swaps, including certain U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated interest rate and credit default index swaps, are subject to mandatory clearing, which interposes a central clearing house as the counterparty to each participant's swap, and exchange-trading. Additional swap asset classes are expected to be subject to mandatory clearing and exchange-trading in the future. The counterparty risk for cleared derivatives is generally considered to be lower than for uncleared derivatives, but cleared contracts are not risk-free. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Funds' ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.
Central clearing and exchange trading is only required for trading certain instruments, although central clearing and exchange trading for additional instruments is expected to be implemented by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) until the majority of the swaps market is ultimately subject to both. In addition, uncleared swaps that are subject to regulatory collateral requirements could adversely affect a Fund’s ability to enter into swaps in the OTC market. The establishment of a centralized exchange or market for cleared swap transactions may not result in swaps being easier to value or trade. However, swap dealers, major swap participants, and swap counterparties may experience other new and/or additional regulations, requirements, compliance burdens, and associated costs. The legislation and rules promulgated may exert a negative effect on a Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective, either through limits or requirements imposed on the Fund or its counterparties. Specifically, position limits imposed on a Fund or its counterparties may affect that Fund’s ability to invest in futures, options, and swaps in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies. The requirements prescribed by the Dodd-Frank Act may increase the cost of a Fund’s investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect the ability of the Funds to buy or sell derivatives.
In a cleared swap transaction, the Fund typically will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared

derivative transaction. Cash margin is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral held at broker on open swap contracts. Swap agreements are marked to market daily. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a variation margin payable or receivable for the change in value as appropriate on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Only certain derivative transactions are currently eligible for clearing by clearinghouses.
A Fund will accrue for interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded as interest payable or receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap contracts, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap contracts on the Statements of Operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap contracts (swap contracts, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities).
Swap agreements are marked to market daily. The change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.
The swaps in which a Fund may engage may include instruments under which one party pays a single or periodic fixed amount(s) (or premium), and the other party pays periodic amounts based on the movement of a specified index. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of swaps is typically the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life to the extent that such amount is positive, plus the cost of entering into a similar transaction with another counterparty, if possible.
The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Like most other investments, swaps are subject to the risk that the market value of the instrument will change in a way detrimental to a Fund’s interest. A Fund bears the risk that Sub-adviser will not accurately forecast future market trends or the values of assets, reference rates, indices, or other economic factors in establishing swap positions for the Fund. If a Sub-adviser attempts to use a swap as a hedge against, or as a substitute for, a portfolio investment, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that the swap will have or will develop imperfect or no correlation with the portfolio investment. This could cause substantial losses for the Fund. While hedging strategies involving swap instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in other Fund's investments. If the Sub-adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of market values, interest rates, and currency exchange rates, the investment performance of the Fund would be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique were not used.
During the period ended September 30, 2022, Opportunistic Fixed used swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposure or to manage interest fluctuation and credit exposure. See the Opportunistic Fixed Schedule of Investments for a listing of open swaps as of September 30, 2022.
(f)  Futures
A futures contract is a contractual agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity or financial instrument at a predetermined price on a stipulated future date. A Fund may enter into contracts for the purchase or sale for future delivery of securities, indices and foreign currencies. Futures contracts may be opened to protect against the adverse effects of fluctuations in security prices, interest rates, or foreign exchange rates without actually buying or selling the securities or foreign

currency. A Fund also may enter into futures contracts as a low cost method for gaining or reducing exposure to a particular currency or securities market without directly investing in those currencies or securities.
A purchase of a futures contract means the acquisition of a contractual right of a Fund to obtain delivery of the securities or foreign currency underlying the contract at a specified price on a specified future date. When a futures contract is sold, the Fund incurs a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency underlying the contract at a specified price on a specified date. 
When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it must deliver to the futures commission merchant selected by the Fund an amount referred to as “initial margin.”  This amount is maintained by the futures commission merchant in a segregated account at the futures commission merchant. Thereafter, a “variation margin“ may be paid by the Fund to or drawn by the Fund from such account in accordance with controls set for such accounts, depending upon changes in the price of the underlying securities, or currencies, subject to the futures contracts, and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as a variation margin payable or receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund recognizes gains and losses on futures contracts in addition to the variation margin, which gains and losses are considered realized at the time the contracts expire or close. 
A Fund may enter into futures transactions on domestic exchanges and, to the extent such transactions have been approved by the CFTC for sale to customers in the United States, on foreign exchanges. In addition, a Fund may sell stock index futures in anticipation of, or during a market decline to attempt to offset the decrease in the market value of the Fund’s common stocks that might otherwise result, and the Fund may purchase such contracts in order to offset increases in the cost of common stocks that it intends to purchase. Unlike other futures contracts, a stock index futures contract specifies that no delivery of the actual stocks making up the index will take place. Instead, settlement in cash must occur upon the termination of the contract.
In entering into futures contracts and options on futures contracts, there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Funds. The counterparty for futures contracts and options on futures contracts traded in the United States and on most foreign futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of its members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some foreign exchanges), it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will be able to meet its obligations to the Funds.
While certain futures contracts provide for the delivery of securities, deliveries usually do not occur. Contracts are generally terminated by entering into offsetting transactions.
Where the futures market is not as developed or where the regulations prevent or make it disadvantageous to trade futures, Emerging Markets will utilize synthetic futures as part of the country selection strategy implementation. A synthetic future generally is an uncleared agreement resembling a total return swap transaction in which a Fund will commit to receive positive or negative returns on one or more specified equity index futures contracts in exchange for an agreed upon payment by the Fund to the counterparty. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the total return swap, the Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty. These are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations.
During the period ended September 30, 2022, Large Cap, Small/Mid Cap, Non-US Core Equity, Emerging Markets and Global Low Volatility used futures to equitize cash. Core Fixed and
212


Mercer Funds

Opportunistic Fixed used futures to adjust interest rate exposure and replicate government bond positions. Emerging Markets also used futures to create passive index exposure to certain domestic emerging market country indices in the Fund. See each Fund's Schedule of Investments for a listing of open futures contracts as of September 30, 2022.
(g)  Options
The Funds may purchase and sell (write) put and call options on debt securities, currencies and indices to enhance investment performance, manage duration, or protect against changes in market prices. The Funds may also buy and sell combinations of put and call options on the same underlying security, currency or index. Short (sold) options positions will generally be hedged by the Funds with cash, cash equivalents, current portfolio security holdings, or other options or futures positions. 
The Funds may enter into swap options (“swaptions”). A swaption is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation), in return for payment of a premium, to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel, or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, at some designated future time on specified terms. Each Fund may sell (write) and purchase put and call swaptions.  Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund generally will incur a greater degree of risk when the Fund writes a swaption than the Fund will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, the Fund’s risk of loss is limited to the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the swaption expire unexercised. However, when a Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the option, the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement.
When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the Fund writes a put option, it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying security.
Whether an option which a Fund has written expires on its stipulated expiration date or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the cost basis of the lots sold are decreased by the premium originally received. When a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Realized gains (losses) on purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments.
A Fund's use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Fund's exposure to market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price of the underlying securities, currencies and interest rates.
During the period ended September 30, 2022, Opportunistic Fixed used options for tail risk hedging (i.e., hedging strategies designed to protect against large unexpected market movements) and to manage currency, interest rate, duration and volatility exposure. See the Fund's Schedule of Investments for the listing of options as of September 30, 2022.
213

September 30, 2022

(h)  Forward foreign currency contracts
The Funds may purchase or sell currencies and/or engage in forward foreign currency transactions in order to expedite settlement of portfolio transactions and to manage currency risk.
Forward foreign currency contracts are traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades. The Funds will account for forward contracts by marking-to-market each day at current forward contract values. The change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time the contract was closed.
The Funds will only enter into forward contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of securities denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when a Fund enters into a non-cash settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund will maintain segregated assets in an amount equal to the contract’s full, notional value. When a Fund enters into a cash-settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund will maintain segregated assets in an amount equal to the net amount owed by the Fund. However, currency contracts with respect to identical currencies, with the same counterparty and same settlement date may be netted against each other and, in such cases, a Fund will maintain segregated assets in an amount equal to the net amount owed by the Fund, in accordance with the Trust’s Segregation and Offsetting Position Procedures. If the additional segregated assets placed in the segregated account decline, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund’s commitments with respect to such contract. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably.
During the period ended September 30, 2022, Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed used forward foreign currency contracts for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, efficient portfolio management, enhancing total returns, or as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset. Non-US Core Equity used forward foreign currency contracts to hedge, cross hedge or to actively manage the currency exposures in the Fund. See the Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed Schedules of Investments for a listing of open forward foreign currency contracts as of September 30, 2022.
(i)  Foreign currency translation
The books and records of each Fund are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates have been included in the unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translations within each Fund's Statement of Operations. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amount actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuations in exchange rates between the purchase settlement date and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gains and losses on investment transactions.

(j)  When-issued securities/TBA securities
Purchasing securities on a “when-issued” basis is a commitment by a Fund to buy a security before the security is actually issued. A Fund may purchase securities offered on a “when-issued” or “forward delivery” basis such as TBA securities. When so offered, the price, which is generally expressed in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is made, but delivery and payment for the when-issued or forward delivery securities take place at a later date. During the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the purchaser to the issuer and no interest on the when-issued or forward delivery security accrues to the purchaser. While when-issued or forward delivery securities may be sold prior to the settlement date, it is intended that a Fund will purchase such securities with the purpose of actually acquiring the securities unless a sale appears desirable for investment reasons. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued or forward delivery basis, the Fund will record the transaction and reflect the value of the security in determining the Fund's NAV. The market value of when-issued or forward delivery securities may be more or less than the purchase price. Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or forward delivery securities transactions, including the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, and the issuer’s failure to issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to declines in the value of the securities prior to settlement date. 
A Fund may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Portfolio’s other assets. TBA forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation”. See the Schedules of Investments for TBA and when-issued securities held as of September 30, 2022.
(k)  Real estate investment trusts
The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which pool investors’ funds for investment, primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests.  A REIT is not taxed on income distributed to its shareholders or unitholders if it complies with regulatory requirements relating to its organization, ownership, assets and income, and with a regulatory requirement to distribute to its shareholders or unitholders at least 90% of its taxable income for each taxable year. 
A shareholder in a Fund, by investing in REITs through the Fund, will bear not only the shareholder’s proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund, but also, indirectly, the management expenses of the underlying REITs.  REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders or unitholders, and may be subject to defaults by borrowers and to self-liquidations.  In addition, the performance of a REIT may be affected by its failure to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income, or the REIT’s failure to maintain exemption from registration under the 1940 Act.  Dividends representing a return of capital are reflected as a reduction of cost and/or as a realized gain when the amount of the return of capital is conclusively determined.  See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for REIT securities held as of September 30, 2022.
(l)  Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities
The Funds may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities represent an interest in a pool of mortgages. Asset-backed securities are structured like mortgage-backed securities, but instead of mortgage loans or interests in mortgage loans, the underlying assets may include such items as motor vehicle installment sales or installment loan contracts, leases of various types of real and personal property, and receivables from credit card agreements. The value of
215

September 30, 2022

some mortgage or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
One type of stripped mortgage-backed security has one class receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for the IOs are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the cost basis of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. See the Schedule of Investments for mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities held by Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed as of September 30, 2022.
(m)  Bank loans
Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed may invest in bank loans, which include institutionally-traded floating rate securities generally acquired as an assignment from another holder of, or participation interest in, loans originated by a bank or financial institution (the ‘‘Lender’’) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the Lender of payments from the borrower. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the loan agreement. At September 30, 2022, Opportunistic Fixed had the following unfunded loan commitments:
Borrower   Par   Cost   Value   Unrealized
Gain (Loss)
Athenahealth, Inc.   $17,391   $17,391   $15,626   $(1,765)
Thermostat Purchaser III, Inc.   49,431   49,540   46,218   (3,322)
VT Topco, Inc.   22,598   10,130   9,750   (380)
    $89,420   $77,061   $71,594   $(5,467)
(n)  Indexed securities
The Funds may invest in indexed securities where the redemption values and/or coupons are linked to the prices of other securities, securities indices, or other financial indicators. The Funds use indexed securities to increase or decrease their exposure to different underlying instruments and to gain exposure to markets in which it may be difficult to invest through conventional securities. Indexed securities may be more volatile than their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.

(o)  Taxes and distributions
The Funds intend to qualify each year as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). The Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized short-term and long-term gains, if any, after giving effect to any available capital loss carryovers for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, no provision for U.S. federal and state income or excise tax is necessary.
As of September 30, 2022, the cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes and gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation in value of investments and derivatives were as follows:
  Federal
Income Tax
Cost
  Tax Basis
Unrealized
Appreciation
  Tax Basis
Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net
Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
Large Cap $1,096,973,015   $119,789,346   $(159,142,308)   $ (39,352,962)
Small/Mid Cap 1,520,817,208   163,612,478   (207,398,814)   (43,786,336)
Non-US Core Equity 3,571,809,294   52,054,282   (711,789,470)   (659,735,188)
Core Fixed 1,641,794,389   487,988   (217,056,870)   (216,568,882)
Opportunistic Fixed 1,184,223,200   3,142,647   (162,891,475)   (159,748,828)
Emerging Markets 1,649,921,112   32,113,990   (444,311,532)   (412,197,542)
Global Low Volatility 1,110,347,271   82,113,693   (147,172,005)   (65,058,312)
The temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are primarily due to wash sale loss deferrals, investments in passive foreign investment companies, redemption in kind and other basis adjustments. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These differences primarily relate to swap income, gains and losses from passive foreign investment companies and other basis adjustments during the period ended September 30, 2022.
The Funds’ policy is to declare and pay distributions from net investment income and net realized short-term and long-term gains at least annually. All distributions are paid in shares of the Funds, at NAV, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash distributions. A Fund may distribute such income dividends and capital gains more frequently, if necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise taxes on the Funds. The amount of any distribution will vary, and there is no guarantee that a Fund will pay either income dividends or capital gains distributions.
(p)  Allocation of expenses and income
The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual Fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated among the applicable Funds, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of each applicable Fund.
(q)  Redemption fees
While none of the Funds’ classes have initial or contingent deferred sales charges on purchases of Fund shares, redemptions of Fund shares held less than 30 days may be assessed a 2% short-term trading fee and recorded as paid-in capital.

3. Credit agreement
  The Trust entered into a Credit Agreement on behalf of the Funds (“the Agreement”) with a bank pursuant to a committed, unsecured revolving line of credit through December 8, 2022. Borrowings for each Fund under the Agreement are limited to the lesser of $50,000,000 or 33 1/3% of a Fund’s Adjusted Net Assets provided borrowings did not exceed, in the aggregate, $50,000,000. Under the terms of the Agreement the Trust pays an annual commitment fee at the rate 0.25% per year on the difference between the total line of credit and the average daily amount of borrowings outstanding. Interest is charged to the Funds based on its borrowings at a variable rate equal to 1% plus the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Overnight Bank Funding Rate. The Funds did not borrow under the Agreement during the period ended September 30, 2022.
4. Indemnities
  In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that require them to provide a variety of representations or general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
5. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
  As of September 30, 2022, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement.  Pursuant to the investment management agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee for managing the Fund’s investments at an annual rate of:
    
  Investment Advisory Fee* on Net Assets
  Average net assets
up to
$750 million
  Average net assets
in excess of
$750 million up to
$1 billion
  Average net assets
in excess of
$1 billion
Large Cap 0.53%   0.51%   0.46%
Small/Mid Cap 0.90%   0.88%   0.83%
Non-US Core Equity 0.75%   0.73%   0.68%
Core Fixed 0.35%   0.33%   0.28%
Opportunistic Fixed 0.80%   0.78%   0.73%
Emerging Markets 0.80%   0.78%   0.73%
Global Low Volatility 0.75%   0.73%   0.68%
    
* Consists of the total advisory fee payable by the Funds to the Adviser. The Adviser is responsible for paying the subadvisory fees.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, until at least July 31, 2023, to waive any portion of its management fee that exceeds the aggregate amount of the sub-advisory fees that the Adviser is required to pay to a Fund's Sub-adviser. This contractual fee waiver agreement may only be changed or eliminated with the approval of the Fund's Board. The fees waived by the Adviser pursuant to this expense waiver agreement are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Adviser. The fees waived are shown in the Advisory fee waiver line in the Statements of Operations.
The Adviser provides certain internal administrative services to the Adviser Class, Class I and Class Y-2 shares of the Funds, for which the Adviser receives a fee of 0.15%, 0.15% and 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Adviser Class, Class I and Class Y-2 shares of the Funds, respectively. These internal administrative services include attending to shareholder correspondence, assisting with the processing of purchases and redemptions of shares, preparing and disseminating information and
218


Mercer Funds

September 30, 2022

documents for use by beneficial shareholders and monitoring and overseeing non-advisory relationships with entities providing services to the Adviser Class, Class I and Class Y-2 shares, including the transfer agent. As of September 30, 2022, only Non-US Core Equity and Core Fixed had Class I shares outstanding. As of September 30, 2022, there were no Advisor Class, Class I (except Non-US Core Equity and Core Fixed) or Class Y-2 shares of any of the Funds outstanding, and as such the Adviser did not receive any administrative services fees from those classes of those funds.
The Funds have adopted a plan of marketing and service, or “12b-1 plan,” to finance the provision of certain shareholder services to the owners of Adviser Class shares of the Funds. The plan provides for payments at annual rates (based on average net assets) of up to 0.25% of each Fund’s Adviser Class shares. There were no Advisor Class shares of any of the Funds outstanding as of September 30, 2022, and as a result, no 12b-1 fees were paid by any of the Funds for the period ended September 30, 2022.
6. Purchases and sales of securities

  In January 2021, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-01 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Scope (“ASU 2021-01”) as an update to Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) —Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) in order to make certain clarifications. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract
222


Mercer Funds

  modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management does not believe the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 will have a material impact on the financial statements.
  In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. The rule imposes new limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, replaces the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and requires funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and for the boards of such funds to appoint a derivatives risk manager. The effective date for the rule was February 19, 2021 and the compliance date for the new rule was August 19, 2022. Management has finalized its evaluation and determined there are no material impacts to the financial statements.
  In December 2020, the SEC adopted a rule addressing fair valuation of fund investments. The new rule sets forth requirements for good faith determinations of fair value, including related oversight and reporting obligations. The new rule also defines “readily available market quotations” for purposes of determining whether a fund should value a security at its market value (as opposed to fair value) under the 1940 Act, and the SEC noted that this definition would apply in all contexts under the 1940 Act. The effective date for the rule was March 8, 2021 and the compliance date for both the new rule and the associated new recordkeeping requirements was September 8, 2022. Management has finalized its evaluation and determined there are no material impacts to the financial statements.
9. Certain risks
  In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities or other instruments and may enter into transactions, and such activities subject each Fund to various risks, including fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations (credit risk). Investments in foreign securities involve certain risks, including foreign currency fluctuations and those related to political or economic instability.
  Additional risks associated with certain of the Funds’ investments are described above within the respective security type notes. A more complete description of risks is included in the Funds' prospectus and statement of additional information.
  The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the ongoing responses of the U.S. government and various state, local and foreign governments have adversely affected global business activities and have resulted in significant uncertainty in the global economy and volatility in financial markets. Given the significant global health, market, employment and economic impacts of COVID-19 and the uncertainty of its duration, the Funds cannot reliably predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on financial markets or its financial results.
  Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 and the resulting responses by the United States and other countries could increase volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and adversely affect regional and global economies. The United States and other countries have imposed broad-ranging economic sanctions on Russia, certain Russian individuals, banking entities and corporations, and Belarus, as a response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and may impose sanctions on other countries that provide military or economic support to Russia. The extent and duration of Russia’s military actions or future escalation of such hostilities, and the extent and impact of the resulting sanctions (including any retaliatory actions or countermeasures that may be taken by those subject to sanctions, including cyber-attacks) are impossible to predict, but could result in significant market disruptions, including in certain industries or sectors, such as the oil and natural gas markets, and may negatively affect global supply chains, inflation and global growth. These and any related events could
223


Mercer Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022

  have a significant impact on a Fund’s performance and the value of the Fund’s investments, even if the Fund does not have direct exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion.
  LIBOR Transition Risk: The market is in the process of transitioning away from a commonly used interest rate, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The terms of many investments, financings or other transactions to which a Fund may be a party have been historically tied to LIBOR, which may be a significant factor in determining a Fund’s payment obligations under a derivative investment, the cost of financing to a Fund or an investment’s value or return to a Fund. Although many LIBOR rates were phased out at the end of 2021, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. The process of transitioning to a new rate might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based investments.
10. Subsequent events
  Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through November 14, 2022, the date the financial statements were issued, for possible adjustment and/or disclosure in the Funds' financial statements. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require adjustment and/or disclosure in the Funds' financial statements through this date.

Renewal of the Investment Management Agreement for the Funds
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of the Mercer Funds (the “Trust”) held on June 8-9, 2022 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees, including those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Trust or Mercer Investments LLC, the Trust’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) (together, the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management agreement between the Adviser and the Trust (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with respect to each of the series of the Trust (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), consisting of: Mercer US Large Cap Equity Fund (the “Large Cap Fund”), Mercer US Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund (the “Small/Mid Cap Fund”), Mercer Non-US Core Equity Fund (the “Non-US Core Fund”), Mercer Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Emerging Markets Fund”), Mercer Global Low Volatility Equity Fund (the “Global Low Volatility Fund”), Mercer Core Fixed Income Fund (the “Core Fixed Income Fund”), and Mercer Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund (the “Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund”).
In considering the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed the information and materials furnished by the Adviser that were prepared for the Meeting, including: (i) the Investment Management Agreement with respect to the Adviser’s management of the assets of each Fund; (ii) information comparing each Fund’s performance over various time periods to the performance of a peer group and peer universe of registered investment companies (“funds”) determined by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent, nationally recognized provider of investment company data, to be generally comparable to the Fund and as contained in a report prepared by Broadridge (the “Broadridge Report”); (iii) information describing the nature, extent, and quality of the services that the Adviser provided to the Funds; the fees that the Adviser charged to the Funds for these services; and a comparison of those fees to the fees paid by a peer group of funds determined by Broadridge to be generally comparable to the Funds and as contained in the Broadridge Report; (iv) the Funds’ management fee waiver agreement (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”), which applies on a Fund-by-Fund basis and requires the Adviser to waive any portion of the management fee it is entitled to under the Investment Management Agreement with respect to each Fund that exceeds the aggregate amount of the subadvisory fees that the Adviser is required to pay to a Fund’s subadvisers (the “Subadvisers”) for the management of their allocated portions of the subject Fund; (v) information regarding the Adviser’s business and operations; financial position; portfolio management and leadership teams; and compliance program; (vi) information comparing each Fund’s operating expenses to those of the Fund’s peer group of funds

determined by Broadridge to be generally comparable to the Funds and as contained in the Broadridge Report; and (vii) information regarding the benefits that the Adviser derived (or may derive in the future) as a result of its relationship with the Funds. The Independent Trustees also considered presentations made by, and discussions held with, representatives of the Adviser, both at the Meeting and throughout the course of the year at regularly scheduled and special Board meetings. The Independent Trustees also evaluated the Adviser’s answers and responses to the questions and information requests contained in an information request letter (“Information Request Letter”) that was submitted to the Adviser on behalf of the Independent Trustees for use in connection with the contract renewal process, as well as certain follow-up responses that had been requested on behalf of the Independent Trustees by their independent legal counsel. 
During their review of this information, the Independent Trustees considered the factors that they deemed relevant with respect to the Adviser, including: the nature, extent, and quality of the services that were provided to the Funds by the Adviser; the Adviser’s investment management personnel and operations; the performance of the Funds; the Funds’ expense levels, including the effect of the Fee Waiver Agreement on Fund expenses; the fact that the Adviser was not realizing a direct profit from the investment advisory services it provides to the Funds under the Investment Management Agreement as a result of the Fee Waiver Agreement; and any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates of the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds. The Independent Trustees also considered the nature, extent, and quality of the non-advisory services that the Adviser and its affiliates provided to the Funds. Additionally, the Independent Trustees received assistance from, and met separately with, their independent legal counsel and were provided with a written description of their statutory responsibilities and the legal standards that are applicable to approvals of advisory agreements.
In their consideration of the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement, the Independent Trustees considered the following factors:
(a)  The nature, extent, and quality of the services that were provided by the Adviser.  The Independent Trustees reviewed the services that the Adviser had provided to the Funds. In connection with the investment advisory services that were provided to the Funds, the Independent Trustees considered the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of the Adviser’s portfolio management team and other investment personnel, and the extent of care and conscientiousness with which the Adviser personnel performed their duties. In this regard, the Independent Trustees considered that, while the Adviser focused primarily on the selection, evaluation, and oversight of the Funds’ Subadvisers, consistent with the Trust’s multi-manager structure, the Adviser had various other responsibilities as the Funds’ investment adviser, including: the provision of investment advice; the allocation of each Fund’s assets among multiple Subadvisers (including overseeing the process of transitioning assets among Subadviser(s)), and the fee negotiation process whereby the Adviser sought to achieve an appropriate and competitive level of fees and fee structure, and the Adviser’s continual monitoring of the ongoing appropriateness and competitiveness of each subadvisory fee and fee structure; the monitoring of each Subadviser’s investment performance and processes; the monitoring of each Subadviser’s compliance with the applicable Fund’s investment objective, policies, and limitations, including portfolio investment guidelines; the review of each Subadviser’s portfolio security brokerage and trading practices, as well as the use of derivatives or other complex financial instruments; the implementation of certain risk management programs; and oversight of general Fund compliance with relevant law.
The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s ability and willingness to identify instances where there was a need to add a new Subadviser, to replace a current Subadviser, to reallocate Fund assets among current Subadvisers, to utilize a new strategy of a current Subadviser, or to implement a combination of these measures, as well as the Adviser’s ability to effect such changes promptly and
227


Mercer Funds
Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

efficiently. In considering the services provided by the Adviser in connection with the review, selection, evaluation and monitoring of Subadvisers for the Funds, the Independent Trustees noted the fact that the Adviser has access to, through its other business divisions, significant manager research and related services that an investment adviser to a fund complex of similar size as the Funds might not otherwise be able to provide.
The Independent Trustees discussed the Trust’s multi-manager structure, and the services required by the Trust under that structure, as compared to an investment company without multiple subadvisers. The Independent Trustees also evaluated the nature, extent, and quality of the non-investment advisory and administrative services that were provided to the Funds by the Adviser, such as supervision of the Funds’ third-party service providers. The Independent Trustees considered the scope and substance of the Adviser’s regulatory and compliance policies, procedures, and systems. The Independent Trustees evaluated the Adviser’s capabilities in providing the administrative, legal and compliance services needed to support management of the Funds, and the information that regularly had been provided by the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer to the Trustees at prior Board meetings. The Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser’s willingness both to add personnel and to replace existing personnel, as the Funds have grown, in order to ensure that appropriate staffing levels were maintained.
Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Independent Trustees determined that the Funds benefited from the nature, extent, and quality of these services, as well as the Adviser’s ability to continue to provide these services based on the Adviser’s experience, operations, and resources and concluded that they supported the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser. 
(b)  The costs of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds.  The Independent Trustees compared each Fund’s contractual and actual management fee and expense ratio (i.e., actual total expenses) to other investment companies considered to be in the Fund’s respective peer group (as identified by Broadridge in the Broadridge Report). The Independent Trustees noted that actual management fees and actual total expenses of Class Y-3 shares of each Fund fell within the first quintile of each Fund’s respective peer group (i.e., the quintile with the lowest expenses). The Independent Trustees also considered the Fee Waiver Agreement and its effect on the Adviser’s actual management fee and the Funds’ expense ratios and further considered that the Adviser intended to renew the Fee Waiver Agreement for another year through at least July 31, 2023. The Independent Trustees noted the Adviser’s explanation that it does not manage other funds, including registered investment companies, or other client accounts that are comparable to the Funds and, therefore, the Adviser could not provide relevant information regarding the Adviser’s fees for servicing such funds or accounts.
The Independent Trustees considered the entrepreneurial risk undertaken by the Adviser in managing and operating the Trust and the Funds and they considered the Adviser’s commitment to the continued successful operation of the Funds. Regarding the level of profitability being realized by the Adviser in connection with its management of the Funds, the Independent Trustees took note of the Adviser’s explanation that the Adviser was not realizing a direct profit from the investment advisory services it provides to the Funds as a result of the Fee Waiver Agreement. The Independent Trustees also discussed the Adviser’s ongoing costs in operating the Funds. The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s ongoing initiative to negotiate reduced fee schedules for certain of the Subadvisers, which results in a benefit to the Funds and their shareholders under the Fee Waiver Agreement to the extent that such subadvisory fees are reduced.
228

Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

The Independent Trustees also considered the other relationships that the Adviser and its affiliates have with the Trust, and any ancillary  or “fall-out” benefits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the Adviser’s relationship with each Fund, as described in the Adviser’s responses to the questions and information requests contained in the Information Request Letter, as well as in the comments of the Adviser’s personnel at the Meeting. The Independent Trustees recognized that, because of the Trust’s multi-manager structure, the Adviser did not place portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds, and, thus, the Adviser did not receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that executed the Funds’ portfolio transactions. In addition, the Independent Trustees noted that the Adviser, as a policy, did not receive any services paid for by Fund soft dollar commissions. As such, the Independent Trustees took note of the fact that the Adviser did not derive any benefits from any Fund portfolio transactions, which benefits were enjoyed by certain Subadvisers.
The Independent Trustees took into consideration the Adviser’s discussion of the ancillary benefits that the firm (along with its affiliates) may realize by managing the Funds, to the extent that potential investors view the Adviser and its affiliates as providing a diverse array of investment products, and managing different asset classes, which were available through multiple investment vehicles, as well as the benefits to the Adviser stemming from its ability to negotiate global fee arrangements from time to time with certain of the Subadvisers that manage (or an affiliate manages) other accounts for the Adviser or its affiliates. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Adviser will provide or procure, as applicable, certain non-distribution related shareholder administrative services pursuant to the Shareholder Administrative Services Plan for the Adviser Class shares, Class I shares and Class Y-2 shares of the Funds (the “Shareholder Services Plan”) and the Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Administrative Services Agreement between the Adviser and the Funds (the “Administrative Services Agreement”), and that the Adviser would be entitled to receive compensation from the Adviser Class, Class I and Class Y-2 shares of the Funds for acting in that capacity. The Independent Trustees acknowledged that no compensation had been paid to date for Adviser Class and Class Y-2 shares of the Funds, as there currently were no Adviser Class or Class Y-2 shares outstanding, and noted the shareholder administrative servicing fees paid to the Adviser with respect to Class I shares. The Independent Trustees considered that compensation paid or to be paid to the Adviser under the Administrative Services Agreement would be accrued from the fees paid under the Shareholder Services Plan. The Independent Trustees also considered that, in return for this compensation, the Adviser would be responsible for, among other things, attending to shareholder or shareholder-related correspondence and inquiries, assisting with exchanges and the processing of purchases and redemptions of shares, maintaining account records, processing dividend payments and preparing and distributing documents for shareholder use. As such, the Independent Trustees concluded that these benefits or potential benefits that would accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates by virtue of their relationships with the Funds appeared to be reasonable.
(c)  The extent to which economies of scale were realized as each Fund grew, and whether fee levels reflected these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders.  The Independent Trustees took into consideration the fact that the advisory fee schedule for each Fund currently includes breakpoints at the levels of $750 million in assets and also at $1 billion in assets. The Independent Trustees noted that, as a result of the Fee Waiver Agreement, any decreases in the advisory fee for a particular Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement resulting from the Fund passing certain asset level thresholds would not result in a decrease in the fee paid by that Fund under the current Fee Waiver Agreement, which requires that the Adviser waive any portion of its management fee that exceeds the aggregate fees paid to a Fund’s Subadvisers.

(d)  The investment performance of each Fund and the Adviser.  The Independent Trustees considered the investment performance of each Fund and evaluated Fund performance in the context of the Trust’s multi-manager structure, and the unique considerations that this structure requires. The Independent Trustees considered whether the Funds operated within their investment objectives and styles and considered each Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Adviser continues to be proactive in seeking to replace and/or add Subadvisers, to reallocate assets among Subadvisers, and to implement new investment Subadviser strategies, with a view to improving Fund performance over the long term. 
While consideration was given to the Adviser’s performance reports and discussions at prior Board meetings, and performance reports provided by the Adviser to the Board between Board meetings, particular attention was given to the Broadridge Report prepared specifically for the Meeting.
In reviewing the performance of the Funds, the Independent Trustees considered the performance of each Fund over various measurement periods ended March 31, 2022. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the Adviser’s expectations for the acceptable performance of each Fund.
With respect to their review of the performance results of each of the Funds, the Independent Trustees took into consideration the following: 
1.  Large Cap Fund.  In the case of the Large Cap Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five- and ten-year measurement periods placed it in the fifth, second, fourth, fifth, fourth and fourth quintiles, respectively, of its peer universe. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Large Cap Fund’s performance for each of the six measurement periods placed it in the fifth, second, fifth, fifth, fourth and fifth quintiles, respectively, of its peer group. With regard to the performance of the Large Cap Fund relative to its peer group, the Independent Trustees noted that the Adviser, in an effort to reduce risk and improve performance consistency, had recommended, and the Board approved, the appointment of Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”), Polen Capital Management, L.L.C. (“Polen”) and Delaware Investments Fund Advisers, a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (“Macquarie”), in 2019 to replace certain prior subadvisers. The Independent Trustees further took into consideration the Adviser’s explanation that the relative performance of the Large Cap Fund was due, in part, to the Large Cap Fund’s value-oriented positioning.
2.  Small/Mid Cap Fund.  In the case of the Small/Mid Cap Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five- and ten-year measurement periods placed it in the third, third, second, second, first and third quintiles, respectively, of its peer universe. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Small/Mid Cap Fund’s performance for each of the six measurement periods placed it in the third, third, second, second, third and fifth quintiles, respectively, of its peer group. With regard to the performance of the Small/Mid Cap Fund relative to its peer group, the Independent Trustees noted that the Adviser, in an effort to improve performance, had recommended, and the Board had approved, the appointment of River Road Asset Management, LLC (“River Road”) in 2019 to replace a prior subadviser. The Independent Trustees further took into consideration the Adviser’s explanation that River Road was recommended due to its favorable attributes and complementary role for the Small/Mid Cap Fund’s portfolio structure. 
3.  Non-US Core Fund.  In the case of the Non-US Core Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five- and ten-year measurement periods placed it in the first quintile for the ten-year measurement period and in the second quintile for each of the other measurement periods of its peer universe. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Non-US Core Fund’s performance for each of the six measurement periods placed it in the first, second, second, second, second and first quintiles, respectively, of its peer group.

4.  Emerging Markets Fund.  In case of the Emerging Markets Fund, which had commenced operations in May of 2012, the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year and since inception measurement periods placed it in the third quintile for the one-year measurement period and in the fourth quintile for each of the other measurement periods of its peer universe. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Emerging Markets Fund’s performance for each of the six measurement periods placed it in the second quintile for the one-year measurement period, in the third quintile for the two-year measurement period and in the fifth quintile for each of the other measurement periods of its peer group. With regard to the performance of the Emerging Markets Fund relative to its peer group, the Independent Trustees noted that the Adviser, in an effort to improve performance, had recommended, and the Board had approved, the appointment of Origin Asset Management LLP (“Origin”) in 2019 to replace a prior subadviser. The Independent Trustees further took into consideration the Adviser’s explanation that Origin was recommended due to its favorable attributes and complementary role for the Emerging Market Fund’s portfolio structure. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Adviser, in order to provide exposure to China equities, had recommended, and the Board approved, the appointments of Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“SIMNA Inc.”) and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited (“SIMNA Ltd.”) (sub-subadviser) in 2020 as additional Subadvisers. The Independent Trustees further took into consideration that the Adviser, in an effort to improve the Emerging Markets Fund risk/return profile, recommended, and the Board approved, the appointments of BennBridge US LLC (“BennBridge”) and Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”) in 2021 to replace certain prior subadvisers. 
5.  Global Low Volatility Fund.  In case of the Global Low Volatility Fund, which had commenced operations in November of 2012, the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year and since inception measurement periods placed it in the fifth quintile for the one-year measurement period and in the first quintile for each of the other measurement periods of its peer universe. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Global Low Volatility Fund’s performance for the one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year periods was in the fourth quintile for the one-year measurement period and in the first quintile for each of the other measurement periods of its peer group. The Independent Trustees noted that, in an effort to improve the Global Low Volatility Fund’s risk/return profile, the Adviser had recommended, and the Board had approved, the appointment of Ninety One North America, Inc. (“Ninety One”) in 2021.
6.  Core Fixed Income Fund.  In the case of the Core Fixed Income Fund, the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the one-, two-, three-, four-, five- and ten-year measurement periods placed it in the second quintile for the one-year measurement period, in the third quintile for the two-year measurement period and in the first quintile for each of the other measurement periods of its peer universe. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Core Fixed Income Fund’s performance for each of the six measurement periods placed it in the second, third, first, second, second and first quintiles, respectively, of its peer group.
7.  Opportunistic Fixed Income.  In the case of the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund, which had commenced operations in August of 2013, the Independent Trustees noted that performance for the one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year and since inception measurement periods placed it in the fourth, third, fourth, fifth, fourth and fifth quintiles, respectively, of its peer universe. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund’s performance for each of the six measurement periods placed it in the fourth quintile for the two-year measurement period and in the fifth quintile for each of the other measurement periods of its peer group. With regard to the performance of the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund relative to its peer group, the Independent Trustees noted that, in order to address the Fund’s performance, the Adviser had terminated T. Rowe
231


Mercer Funds

Price Associates, Inc. and T. Rowe Price International Limited in their roles as a prior subadviser and sub subadviser, respectively, to the Fund in 2020. In connection with their consideration of the performance results for the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund, the Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser’s explanation that the Fund was designed by the Adviser to serve a specific purpose and investment need and that the Fund does not have a peer group or universe that is comparable. The Board noted the Adviser’s explanation that the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund is classified in the Broadridge Report as a multi-sector fixed income fund, but that the Fund also has exposure to multi-asset credit (including high yield) and emerging markets debt, which may differentiate the Fund from certain of the funds included in its peer universe and peer group. The Independent Trustees further took into consideration the Adviser’s explanation that the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund had produced returns in line with the Adviser’s expectations given the diversified approach to portfolio construction and the prevailing drivers of returns in the market over the measurement periods.
In light of the foregoing considerations, the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser’s performance in managing each Fund indicated that the Adviser’s continued management will benefit the Funds and their shareholders. 
Conclusion.  Following further consideration of the foregoing factors, it was reported that no single factor was determinative to the decisions of the Independent Trustees. Based on these factors, and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Independent Trustees concluded that the management fee rates of the Funds continued to be supported by the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, as well as by the costs that were incurred and benefits that were gained by the Adviser in providing such services. It was noted that the Independent Trustees had taken into consideration the fees charged by the investment advisers to the investment companies included in the Funds’ peer groups as presented in the Broadridge Report. As a result, the Independent Trustees concluded that the approval of the Investment Management Agreement was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, and they approved the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement.

GMO, Origin, SIMNA Inc., SIMNA Ltd. (sub-subadviser), William Blair Investment Management, LLC, and Parametric (in the case of the Emerging Markets Fund); Acadian Asset Management LLC, Martingale Asset Management, L.P., Ninety One, Veritas Asset Management LLP, and Parametric (in the case of the Global Low Volatility Fund); BlackRock International Limited, Colchester Global Investors Limited, Loomis, Western Asset Management Company, LLC and Western Asset Management Company Limited (sub-subadviser) (in the case of the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund); and Income Research & Management, Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC and PGIM, Inc. (in the case of the Core Fixed Income Fund) (each a “Subadviser,” and together, the “Subadvisers”).
In considering the renewal of the Subadvisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered the information and materials from the Adviser that included, as to each Subadviser whose Subadvisory Agreement was being considered and each Fund: (i) the Subadvisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Subadviser; (ii) information regarding the review and due diligence process by which the Adviser selected, monitored, and evaluated the Subadviser, and recommended the Subadviser for Board approval; (iii) information describing the nature, extent, and quality of the services that the Subadviser provided to the respective Fund, and the fees that the Subadviser charged the Adviser for these services; (iv) the Fee Waiver Agreement, which requires the Adviser to waive any portion of the management fee it is entitled to under the Investment Management Agreement with respect to each Fund that exceeds the aggregate amount of the subadvisory fees that the Adviser is required to pay to a Fund’s Subadvisers for the management of their allocated portions of the subject Fund; (v) information regarding the Subadviser’s business and operations, financial condition, portfolio management team, and compliance program; (vi) information regarding the Subadviser’s brokerage and trading policies and practices; (vii) the Subadviser’s performance in managing its allocated portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio; (viii) the Subadviser’s historical performance returns managing a similar investment mandate (as applicable), and a comparison of performance returns of the allocated portion of the Fund managed by the Subadviser to a relevant index; and (ix) the Adviser’s detailed monitoring and reporting of Subadviser performance on qualitative and quantitative factors.
In addition, the Independent Trustees considered presentations made by, and discussions held with, representatives of the Adviser and representatives of various Subadvisers, both at the Meeting and throughout the course of the year at Board meetings, as applicable. During their review of this information, the Independent Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the Subadvisers’ answers and responses to applicable information requests contained in a questionnaire. The Independent Trustees considered the factors that they deemed relevant with respect to each Subadviser, including: the nature, extent, and quality of the services that were provided to the applicable Fund by the Subadviser; the Subadviser’s investment management style and investment decision-making process; the Subadviser’s historical performance record managing its allocated portion of the Fund’s portfolio, as well as managing pooled investment products similar to the applicable Fund (as applicable); the qualifications and experience of the employees at the Subadviser who were responsible for the day-to-day management of the allocated portion of the Fund; and the Subadviser’s staffing levels and overall resources. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the nature and extent of the oversight duties performed by the Adviser in connection with each of the Subadvisers, which includes extensive investment management and compliance due diligence with respect to the management and operations of each of the Subadvisers. Additionally, the Independent Trustees received assistance from, and met separately with, their independent legal counsel and were provided with a written description of their statutory responsibilities and the legal standards that are applicable to approvals of advisory agreements.

In particular, and as to each Fund and to each Subadviser, the Independent Trustees considered the following factors:
(a)  The nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services that were provided by the Subadvisers.  The Independent Trustees reviewed the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services that each Subadviser had provided to the applicable Fund. The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s active role as a manager of managers, which included, among other items, monitoring and evaluating the performance of the Subadvisers, recommending that Subadvisers that have not performed as expected either be replaced or their allocated portion of the Fund’s portfolio be reduced. The Independent Trustees considered the specific investment management process that was employed by each Subadviser in managing the assets that were allocated to the Subadviser (which had been discussed with each Subadviser previously); the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of the Subadviser’s management and other personnel responsible for the portfolio management of the allocated portion of the applicable Fund; the financial position of the Subadviser; information regarding the Subadviser’s regulatory and legal compliance policies and procedures; and the Subadviser’s brokerage practices. The Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser’s review, selection, and due diligence process with respect to each Subadviser, and the Adviser’s favorable assessment and conclusion as to the nature, extent, and quality of the subadvisory services that were provided by the Subadviser. The Independent Trustees determined that each Fund would continue to benefit from the quality and experience of the portfolio managers of each Fund’s Subadvisers.
Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Independent Trustees concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the subadvisory services that were provided by each Subadviser, as well as each Subadviser’s ability to continue to provide these services based on its experience, operations, and resources, were adequate and appropriate, and had benefited, and will continue to benefit, the applicable Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees concluded that these factors supported the continuation of the Subadvisory Agreements with the Subadvisers.
(b)  The costs of the services provided and the profits realized by the Subadviser and its affiliates from the Subadviser’s relationship with the Funds.  The Independent Trustees considered the review, selection, and due diligence process employed by the Adviser in deciding to recommend each Subadviser as a Subadviser to the respective Fund. The Independent Trustees took account of the Adviser’s reasons for concluding that the compensation payable to each Subadviser for its services to the Funds was competitive, fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the services furnished to the Fund, and the Adviser’s recommendation at the Meeting that the Subadvisers be continued, including in light of the fact that the Subadvisers’ fees would be indirectly borne by the respective Funds and their shareholders.
The Independent Trustees considered the expected impact of the subadvisory fees on the Funds’ overall operating expenses, given the Fee Waiver Agreement. In addition, since the fees paid by the Adviser to each Subadviser were the result of arm’s-length bargaining between unaffiliated parties, the relevance of each Subadviser’s profitability was considered by the Independent Trustees in that context. The Independent Trustees took into account the Adviser’s ongoing monitoring of the appropriateness and competitiveness of each subadvisory fee and fee structure, the Adviser’s assessment that the subadvisory fee rates charged by each Subadviser reflected a reasonable fee arrangement, and the Adviser’s continued initiative to negotiate reduced subadvisory fee schedules with the Subadvisers, which benefits the Funds and their shareholders due to the Fee Waiver Agreement to the extent that such subadvisory fees are reduced. The Independent Trustees also considered the information supplied by each Subadviser that presented data regarding the fees charged to other comparable clients of the Subadviser (as applicable). Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Independent Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent,
234


Mercer Funds
Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

and quality of the services that were provided, the fees paid to each Subadviser with respect to the Fund assets that were allocated to the Subadviser appeared to be within a reasonable range in relation to the services to be provided by each Subadviser.
(c)  Ancillary Benefits.  The Independent Trustees considered whether there were any ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that may accrue to the Subadvisers as a result of their relationships with the Funds. As part of their review, the Independent Trustees noted that certain Subadvisers may experience benefits due to their relationships with the Funds, which include reputational and marketing benefits, and may direct Fund brokerage transactions to certain brokers to obtain research and other services. However, the Independent Trustees noted that the Subadvisers were required to select brokers who met the Funds’ requirements for seeking best execution, and that the Adviser monitored and evaluated the Subadvisers’ trade execution with respect to Fund brokerage transactions on a quarterly basis and provided reports to the Board on these matters. The Independent Trustees concluded that these benefits or potential benefits that would accrue to the Subadvisers by virtue of their relationships with the Funds appeared to be reasonable.
(d)  The extent to which economies of scale were realized as each Fund grew, and whether fee levels reflected sharing of these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders.  With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Trustees considered each Subadviser’s fee schedule for providing services to the applicable Fund and noted that several of the Subadvisory Agreements included breakpoints that would reduce the Subadviser’s fee as the allocated portion of the applicable Fund (and/or certain assets globally with respect to the Adviser and its affiliates) managed by the Subadviser (and/or an affiliate with respect to other account assets) increased. It was noted that the benefit of breakpoints would indirectly go to the Funds and their shareholders, given the Fee Waiver Agreement.
(e)  The investment performance of the Funds and the Subadvisers.  The Independent Trustees considered whether each Subadviser operated within the applicable Fund’s investment objective and style and consistent with the Subadviser’s investment strategy to support the Fund’s multi-manager structure and approach and noted each Subadviser’s record of compliance with the Fund’s relevant investment restrictions and guidelines. The Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser’s conclusions, and the reasons supporting the Adviser’s conclusions, that the performance record of each Subadviser, including on an absolute basis and relative to each Subadviser’s benchmark index over different time periods, supported the approval of its Subadvisory Agreement.
Conclusion.  Following full consideration of the foregoing factors, it was reported that no single factor was determinative to the decisions of the Independent Trustees. Based on these factors, along with the determinations of the Adviser at the conclusion of its review and due diligence process and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Independent Trustees concluded that the fee rate for each Subadviser continued to be supported by the services that were provided by each of the Subadvisers to the Funds, as well as by the information available on costs that were incurred and benefits that were gained by the Subadvisers in providing such services. As a result, the Independent Trustees concluded that the approval of the Subadvisory Agreements was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders and approved the renewal of each of the Subadvisory Agreements.

Mercer Funds
Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees and certain exchange fees and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in the Funds’ prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The first line in the table for each Fund shows the actual account values and actual fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund from April 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = $8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Operating Expenses Incurred column as shown below for your Class. The second line in the table for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line in the table of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.
