NEWS RELEASE

MMC REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, August 2, 2005-Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (MMC) today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. Consolidated revenues for the quarter increased 2 percent to $3.1 billion. Net income was $166 million, or $.31 per share, compared with $389 million, or $.73 per share, in last year's second quarter. For the six months of 2005, consolidated revenues rose 1 percent to $6.3 billion. Net income was $300 million, or $.56 per share, compared with $835 million, or $1.56 per share, last year. Current year results include charges for restructuring, employee retention, and incremental regulatory and compliance expenses. Excluding noteworthy items, earnings per share would have been $.43 and $.95, respectively, for the second quarter and six months of 2005, compared with $.73 and $1.69, respectively, for the same periods of 2004.

Michael G. Cherkasky, president and chief executive officer of MMC, said: "Although much of our focus has been on the restructuring and turnaround at Marsh, we have made significant strides across all of MMC's businesses to position the company for long-term profitable growth. A number of our businesses had very strong results this quarter, such as Kroll, Mercer Management Consulting, and Mercer Oliver Wyman. Within Mercer Human Resource Consulting, there is increased demand for bundled solutions in retirement and benefits outsourcing, and the early response by U.S. clients to the launch of Mercer Global Investments products has been excellent. At Putnam, investment performance continues to improve, mutual fund redemptions are stable, and sales initiatives in both retail and institutional channels are showing promise. At Marsh, we are proud of the tremendous job our colleagues are doing in a very complex operating environment. We are working on all fronts to bring our costs in line with revenues and implement business reforms that we believe are setting the new standard in the industry for transparency and compliance as we continue to deliver world-class risk management advice and services to clients."

Risk and Insurance Services

Risk and insurance services revenues declined 11 percent in the second quarter to $1.5 billion. Underlying revenues, which exclude acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign exchange, declined 13 percent. During the quarter, the insurance marketplace saw continued reductions in commercial premium rates. These conditions are expected to continue through the end of this year.

Marsh's risk management and insurance broking revenues of $1 billion in the second quarter were 18 percent lower compared with last year. Excluding the effect of market services revenues, underlying revenues declined 8 percent, an improvement of 3 percentage points from the first quarter of 2005.

Guy Carpenter's revenues declined 9 percent in the second quarter to $192 million, or 11 percent on an underlying basis. The effects of higher risk retention by clients and lower premium rates in the reinsurance marketplace were offset partially by new business. These conditions are likely to continue through the remainder of the year.

Related insurance services revenues rose 23 percent in the second quarter to $303 million, an increase of 17 percent on an underlying basis. Performance was excellent in all businesses for both the quarter and the first half of the year, with particularly strong growth reported by claims management, which increased revenues 30 percent in the quarter.

Risk Consulting and Technology

Kroll reported revenues of $267 million in the second quarter, with double-digit revenue growth over prior-year pre-acquisition levels. The technology services group achieved strong performance in legal technologies, background screening, and mortgage-related service offerings. The corporate advisory and restructuring practice, which is part of Kroll's consulting services group, also recorded double-digit revenue growth.

Consulting

Consulting revenues increased 6 percent in the second quarter to $963 million, or 3 percent on an underlying basis.

Mercer is now managing the combined operations of Marsh's U.S. employee benefits business and Mercer's health and benefits business. Segment financial information for the first quarter of this year and each quarter of 2004 has been adjusted to reflect the combined results, as shown in the attached supplemental schedule on page 14.

Mercer Human Resource Consulting's revenues increased slightly in the quarter to $687 million. Revenue trends for Mercer's retirement, HR services, and human capital businesses improved in the second quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter.

Mercer's specialty consulting businesses reported continued strong performance. Revenues increased 22 percent to $229 million, or 19 percent on an underlying basis, reflecting particularly strong growth at Mercer Management Consulting, Mercer Oliver Wyman, and NERA Economic Consulting.

Investment Management

Putnam's revenues in the second quarter declined 13 percent to $377 million. Average assets under management during the second quarter were $196 billion, compared with $216 billion in the second quarter of 2004. Mutual fund net redemptions in the second quarter tracked this year's first quarter. Institutional net redemptions were significantly lower in the second quarter-the best results in two years. Total assets under management on June 30, 2005 were $195 billion, comprising $132 billion of mutual fund assets and $63 billion of institutional assets.

Other Items

The restructuring announced at the end of 2004 has been completed, with annualized cost savings totaling $400 million. About two-thirds of the savings relate to risk and insurance services. As previously disclosed, the anticipated cost to implement the 2005 restructuring is $370 million. This restructuring, which affects primarily risk and insurance services, should be completed by early next year and is expected to yield $375 million in annual savings, of which $30 million was realized in the second quarter.

MMC shareholders approved in May the offering to permit employees to exchange certain deeply underwater stock options for new options covering fewer shares. Effective July 1, employees exchanged 42 million stock options, or over 90 percent of eligible grants, for 16 million new stock options in a value-for-value exchange, thereby retiring almost 26 million stock options.

MMC's consolidated effective tax rate of 30.7 percent in the second quarter reflects the favorable resolution of audit issues and the impact of charges for restructuring, employee retention, and incremental regulatory and compliance expenses deducted at higher rates than the ongoing effective rate of 35 percent.

Segment Reclassification

MMC has reclassified prior period amounts to reflect organizational changes that affected MMC's reportable segments. The following changes are reflected in the segment data presented above:

Risk Consulting and Technology, a new reportable segment effective January 1, 2005, includes Kroll, Inc., which was acquired by MMC in July 2004 and portions of risk consulting business previously managed by Marsh.

Putnam's defined contribution administration business was transferred from Investment Management to Human Resource Consulting. Approximately 75% of the revenues earned by Mercer HR from this transferred business is paid by Putnam. Putnam receives fees for investment management and administrative services, which are recorded as revenue. A fee related to administrative services is recorded as an expense by Putnam and as revenue by Mercer HR. The inter-company revenue and expense are eliminated in consolidation.

Management of Marsh's U.S. employee benefits business was transferred from Risk Management and Insurance Broking to Human Resource Consulting.

Notes

Underlying revenue measures the change in revenue, before the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, using consistent currency exchange rates. Underlying revenue for risk management and insurance broking decreased 20% in the second quarter, including a 12% decline related to market services agreements; and for the risk and insurance services segment underlying revenue decreased 13% in the second quarter including a 9% decline related to market services agreements.

Effective October 1, 2004 MMC agreed to eliminate contingent compensation agreements with insurers. 2005 results include market services revenue of $39 million related to collections of amounts earned on placements made prior to October 1, 2004, which had not previously been accrued.

Interest income on fiduciary funds amounted to $36 million and $30 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
