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 (the “1940 Act”). Mercer Investments LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the investment advisor to the Funds. The Advisor 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, 2021, each Fund had Class Y-3 shares outstanding. As of September 30, 2021, only Non-US Core Equity had Class I shares outstanding. No other classes of shares are outstanding as of September 30, 2021.

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 Advisor 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 New York Stock Exchange. 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 Advisor, subject to continuing Board oversight. The Advisor 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 Advisor 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, 2021, 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, 2021. 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, 2021.

At September 30, 2021, 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 the Funds, 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 Funds 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, the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds’ credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Funds 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 Funds fail to meet the terms of their ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Funds 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 Funds and the counterparty.

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds 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 the Funds, 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 Funds, 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 Funds on the next business day. Typically, the Funds and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt 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.

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, 2021.

^(b)  Represents the net amount payable to the counterparty in the event of default.

^*  In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the derivative asset or liability due to overcollateralization.

(b)  Security 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 Fund 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, 2021. 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, 2021 were as follows:

	Market Value of Loaned Securities		Value of Cash Collateral		Value of Non-Cash Collateral

(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.

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.

206

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

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 the Funds may invest involve agreements with a counterparty. The return to the Funds 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 Funds will only enter into an equity swap contract on a net basis, i.e., the two parties’ obligations are netted out, with the Funds 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.

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 Advisor 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 new 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 the 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 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, 2021, Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed used swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposure or to manage credit exposure. See the Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed Schedules of Investments for a listing of open swaps as of September 30, 2021.

(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, a Fund incurs a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency underlying the contract at a specified price on a specified date.

209

Mercer Funds

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

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 a Fund to or drawn by a 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 a 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 Fund. 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 Fund.

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, 2021, Large Cap, Small/Mid Cap, Non-US Core Equity, Emerging Markets and Global Low Volatility used futures to equitize cash. Core Fixed and 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, 2021.

(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 the 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 the Fund has written expires on its stipulated expiration date or the 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.

The Funds’ 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, 2021, Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed used options for tail risk hedging and to manage currency, interest rate, duration and volatility exposure. See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of options as of September 30, 2021.

(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.

211

Mercer Funds

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

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, 2021, 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 and Emerging Markets used forward foreign currency contracts to hedge, cross hedge or to actively manage the currency exposures in the Funds. See the Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed Schedules of Investments for a listing of open forward foreign currency contracts as of September 30, 2021.

(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, 2021.

(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, 2021.

(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

213

Mercer Funds

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

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 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 Schedules of Investments for mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities held by Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed as of September 30, 2021.

(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, 2021, Opportunistic Fixed had the following unfunded loan commitments:

Borrower	Par		Cost		Value		Unrealized Gain (Loss)
Focus Financial Partners, LLC	$	91,875	$	91,875	$	91,519	$	(356	)
Precision Medicine Group, LLC		126,923		125,193		127,062		1,869
VT Topco, Inc.		60,000		60,000		59,987		(13	)
Western Dental Services Inc.		79,200		79,200		79,258		58
	$	357,998	$	356,268	$	357,826	$	1,558

(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, 2021, 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	$	1,166,795,839	$	406,199,823	$	(17,578,233	)	$	388,621,590
Small/Mid Cap		1,370,715,268		441,171,895		(38,794,047	)		402,377,848
Non-US Core Equity		3,147,024,211		621,153,846		(118,623,705	)		502,530,141
Core Fixed		1,316,315,230		32,044,058		(13,826,817	)		18,217,241
Opportunistic Fixed		896,684,633		20,376,323		(23,643,700	)		(3,267,377	)
Emerging Markets		1,328,189,192		199,557,236		(101,464,218	)		98,093,018
Global Low Volatility		982,064,788		222,871,590		(22,830,783	)		200,040,807

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, 2021.

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 9, 2021. Borrowings for

215

Mercer Funds

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

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, 2021.

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, 2021, the Advisor provides investment advisory services to each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement. Pursuant to the investment management agreement, each Fund pays the Advisor 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 Advisor. The Advisor is responsible for paying the subadvisory fees.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least July 31, 2022, to waive any portion of its management fee that exceeds the aggregate amount of the subadvisory fees that the Advisor is required to pay to the Funds’ Sub-advisers. This contractual fee waiver agreement may only be changed or eliminated with the approval of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. The fees waived by the Advisor pursuant to this agreement are not subject to reimbursement by the Funds to the Advisor. The fees waived are shown in the Advisory fee waiver line in the Statements of Operations.

The Advisor provides certain internal administrative services to the Adviser Class, Class I and Class Y-2 shares of the Funds, for which the Advisor 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 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, 2021, only Non-US Core Equity had Class I shares outstanding (since

216

Mercer Funds

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

July 22, 2021). As of September 30, 2021, there were no Advisor Class, Class I (except Non-US Core Equity) or Class Y-2 shares of any of the Funds outstanding, and as such the Advisor 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, 2021, and as a result, no 12b-1 fees were paid by any of the Funds for the period ended September 30, 2021.

6. Purchases and sales of securities

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments for the period ended September 30, 2021, were as follows:

	Long-Term U.S. Government Securities			Other Long-Term Securities

8. Recent accounting pronouncements

In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01 (“ASU 2021-01”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. ASU 2021-01 is an update of ASU 2020-04. The ASU 2021-01 update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this update are effective immediately through December 31, 2022, for all entities.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04 on the Funds’ financial statements.

In October 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” (“ASU 2020-08”). ASU 2020-08 is an update of Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, which amends the amortization period of certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. ASU 2020-08 updates the amortization period for callable debt securities to be amortized to the next call date. For purposes of this update, the next call date is the first date when a call option at a specified price becomes exercisable. Once that date has passed, the next call date is when the next call option at a specified price becomes exercisable, if applicable. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 for public business entities. For all other entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the implication, if any, of the additional disclosure requirements and its impact on the Funds’ 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 worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, that began in early 2020 has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world and has increased market volatility. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets may magnify factors that affect the Funds’ performance. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration of this uncertainty. The effects of this pandemic may materially impact the value and performance of the Funds, their ability to buy and sell investments and their ability to achieve the investment objectives. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of the Funds’ investments cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

LIBOR Transition Risk: A commonly used interest rate, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), may no longer be calculated after 2021. 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 will be phased out at the end of 2021 as originally intended, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be

220

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

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 15, 2021, 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 9-10, 2021 (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 advisor (the “Advisor”) (together, the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the renewal of the investment management agreement between the Advisor 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 Advisor that were prepared for the Meeting, including: (i) the Investment Management Agreement with respect to the Advisor’s management of the assets of each Fund; (ii) information describing the nature, extent, and quality of the services that the Advisor provided to the Funds; the fees that the Advisor charged to the Funds for these services; and a comparison of those fees to the fees paid by a peer group of other investment companies having investment objectives similar to the investment objectives of the Funds, as contained in a report prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent, nationally recognized provider of investment company data (the “Broadridge Report”); (iii) the Funds’ management fee waiver agreement (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”), which requires the Advisor 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 Advisor is required to pay to a Fund’s Subadvisors for the management of their allocated portions of the subject Fund; (iv) information regarding the Advisor’s business and operations; financial position; portfolio management team; and compliance program; (v) information comparing each Fund’s operating expenses to those of the Fund’s peer group of other registered investment companies with investment objectives similar to the investment objectives of the Fund, and that were identified by Broadridge in the Broadridge Report; (vi) information comparing each Fund’s performance to the performance of the Fund’s peer group of other investment companies with investment objectives similar to the investment objective of the Fund, as identified in the Broadridge Report; and (vii) information regarding the benefits that the Advisor enjoyed (or may enjoy 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

223

Mercer Funds

Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

Advisor, both at the Meeting and throughout the course of the year at regularly scheduled and special Board meetings. The Independent Trustees also evaluated the Advisor’s answers and responses to the questions and information requests contained in the 15(c) Information Request Letter that was submitted to the Advisor 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. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered presentations made by, and discussions held with, representatives of the Advisor.

During their review of this information, the Independent Trustees considered and analyzed the factors that they deemed relevant with respect to the Advisor, including: the nature, extent, and quality of the services that were provided to the Funds by the Advisor; the Advisor’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 Advisor 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 Advisor and its affiliates of the Advisor’s relationship with the Funds. The Independent Trustees also considered the nature, extent, and quality of the non-advisory services that the Advisor 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 Advisor.  The Independent Trustees reviewed the services that the Advisor 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 Advisor’s portfolio management team and other investment personnel, and the extent of care and conscientiousness with which the Advisor personnel performed their duties. In this regard, the Independent Trustees considered that, while the Advisor focused primarily on the selection, evaluation, and oversight of the Funds’ Subadvisors, consistent with the Trust’s multi-manager structure, the Advisor also had extensive other responsibilities as the Funds’ investment advisor, including: the provision of investment advice; the allocation of each Fund’s assets among multiple Subadvisors (including overseeing the process of transitioning assets among Subadvisor(s)), and the fee negotiation process whereby the Advisor sought to achieve an appropriate and competitive level of fees and fee structure, and the Advisor’s continual monitoring of the ongoing appropriateness and competitiveness of each subadvisory fee and fee structure; the monitoring of each Subadvisor’s investment performance and processes; the oversight of each Subadvisor’s compliance with the applicable Fund’s investment objective, policies, and limitations, including portfolio investment guidelines; review of portfolio security brokerage and trading practices, as well as the use of derivatives or other complex financial instruments; implementation of risk management programs; and oversight of general portfolio compliance with relevant law.

The Independent Trustees considered the Advisor’s ability and willingness to identify instances where there was a need to add a new Subadvisor, to replace a current Subadvisor, to reallocate Fund assets among current Subadvisors, to utilize a new strategy of a current Subadvisor, or to implement a combination of these measures, as well as the Advisor’s ability to promptly, efficiently, and economically effect such changes. The Independent Trustees also noted the services provided by the Advisor in connection with the review, selection, evaluation and monitoring of Subadvisors for the Funds. The Independent Trustees considered the fact that the Advisor is capable of providing, through

224

Mercer Funds

Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

its other business divisions, significant manager research and related services to the Funds that an investment advisor 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 Subadvisors. 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 Advisor, such as the supervision of the Funds’ third-party service providers. The Independent Trustees considered the scope and substance of the Advisor’s regulatory and compliance policies, procedures, and systems. The Independent Trustees evaluated the Advisor’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 Advisor’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 Advisor’s ability to continue to provide these services based on the Advisor’s experience, operations, and resources and concluded that they supported the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement with the Advisor.

(b)  The costs of the services provided and the profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Funds.  The Independent Trustees compared each Fund’s contractual and actual management fee and expense ratio to other investment companies considered to be in the Fund’s respective peer group (as identified by Broadridge in its Report) and noted each Fund’s rankings. The Independent Trustees also considered the Fee Waiver Agreement and its effect on the Advisor’s actual management fee and the Funds’ expense ratios and further considered that the Advisor intended to renew the Fee Waiver Agreement for another year through July 31, 2022. The Independent Trustees noted the Advisor’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 Advisor could not provide relevant information regarding the Advisor’s fees for servicing such funds or accounts.

The Independent Trustees considered the entrepreneurial risk undertaken by the Advisor in managing and operating the Trust and the Funds and they considered the Advisor’s commitment to the continued successful operation of the Funds. Regarding the level of profitability being realized by the Advisor in connection with its management of the Funds, the Independent Trustees took note of the Advisor’s explanation that the Advisor 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 Advisor’s ongoing costs in operating the Funds. The Independent Trustees considered the Advisor’s ongoing initiative to negotiate reduced fee schedules for certain of the Subadvisors, 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.

The Independent Trustees also considered the other relationships that the Advisor and its affiliates have with the Trust, and any ancillary benefits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with each Fund, as described in the Advisor’s responses to the questions and information requests contained in the 15(c) Information Request Letter, as well as in the comments of the Advisor’s personnel at the Meeting. The Independent Trustees recognized that, because of the Trust’s multi-manager structure, the Advisor did not place portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds, and, thus, the

225

Mercer Funds

Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

Advisor did not receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that executed the Funds’ portfolio transactions. In addition, the Independent Trustees noted that the Advisor, 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 Advisor did not derive any benefits from any Fund portfolio transactions, which benefits were enjoyed by certain Subadvisors.

The Independent Trustees took into consideration the Advisor’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 Advisor 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 Advisor stemming from its ability to negotiate global fee arrangements from time to time with certain of the Subadvisors. The Independent Trustees also noted that the Advisor 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 Advisor and the Funds (the “Administrative Services Agreement”), and that the Advisor 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 as there currently were no Adviser Class, Class I or Class Y-2 shares outstanding. The Independent Trustees considered that compensation to be paid to the Advisor 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 Advisor would be responsible for, among other things, attending to shareholder correspondence, 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 potential benefits that would accrue to the Advisor and its affiliates by virtue of their relationships to the Funds are reasonable and fair in comparison with the costs of providing the relevant services.

(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 Advisor waive any portion of its management fee that exceeds the aggregate fees paid to a Fund’s Subadvisors.

(d)  The investment performance of each Fund and the Advisor.  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 Advisor continues to be proactive in seeking to replace and/or add Subadvisors, to reallocate assets among Subadvisors, and to implement new investment Subadvisor strategies, with a view to improving Fund performance over the long term.

While consideration was given to the Advisor’s performance reports and discussions at prior Board meetings, particular attention was given to the Broadridge Report prepared specifically for the Meeting.

Mercer Funds

Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

In reviewing the performance of the Funds, the Independent Trustees considered the performance of each Fund over various measurement periods ended March 31, 2021, noting that the performance of the Large Cap Fund fell within the third quintile, the performance of the Small/Mid Cap Fund fell within the second quintile, the performance of the Non-US Core Fund fell within the first quintile, the performance of the Emerging Markets Fund fell within the first quintile, the Global Low Volatility Fund’s performance fell within the first quintile, the Core Fixed Income Fund’s performance fell within the first quintile and the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund’s performance fell within the fifth quintile of their respective performance universes for performance for the ten-year measurement period or since inception for those Funds that did not have ten years of performance. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the Advisor’s expectations for the acceptable performance of each Fund with respect to a range of quintiles.

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 first, second, third, second, second and third 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 the Fund’s performance in the first, third, fourth, third, fourth and fourth 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 Advisor 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 various Subadvisors.

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 quintile for the one-year period and in the second quintile for each of the other measurement periods, 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 the Fund’s performance in the third, second, third, third, third and fourth 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 Advisor had recommended, and the Board had approved, the appointment of River Road Asset Management, LLC (“River Road”) in 2019.

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 third, second, second, second, second and first quintiles, respectively, 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 the Fund’s performance in the third, third, first, first, first 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, fourth, fourth, fourth, fourth and first quintiles, respectively, of its peer universe. The Independent Trustees also considered that the Emerging Markets Fund’s performance for each of the six measurement periods placed the Fund’s performance in the third, fourth, fourth, fourth, fifth and first quintiles, respectively, 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 Advisor had recommended, and the Board had approved, the

227

Mercer Funds

appointment of Origin Asset Management LLP (“Origin”) in 2019; the appointments of Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. and Schroder Investment Management North America Limited in January 2021; and the appointments of BennBridge US LLC and Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC in March 2021.

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 performance for the one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year and since inception measurement periods placed it in the second, second, first, first, first and first quintiles, respectively, 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 first quintile for each of the measurement periods for its peer group. The Independent Trustees noted that, in an effort to improve the Global Low Volatility Fund’s risk/return profile, the Advisor had recommended, and the Board had approved, the appointment of Ninety One North America, Inc. 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 third quintile for the one-year 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 the Fund’s performance in the third, first, first, first, 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 third, third, fifth, fourth, third 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 its performance in the fourth, third, fifth, fifth, fourth and fifth quintiles, respectively, 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 Advisor had terminated T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and T. Rowe Price International Limited in their roles as Subadvisor and Sub-Subadvisor, respectively, to the Fund in April 2020. In connection with their consideration of the performance results for the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund, the Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s explanation that the Fund was designed by the Advisor 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 Advisor’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 Advisor’s explanation that the Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund had been successful in achieving its intended performance results consistent with the Advisor’s objective for the Fund.

On the basis of the foregoing, the Independent Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s performance in managing each Fund indicated that the Advisor’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 Advisor to the Funds, as

228

well as by the costs that were incurred and benefits that were gained by the Advisor in providing such services. It was noted that the Independent Trustees had taken into consideration the fees charged by the investment advisors 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.

Renewal of Certain Subadvisory Agreements for the Funds

At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered and approved the continuation of the subadvisory agreements (collectively, the “Subadvisory Agreements”) entered into by the Advisor and the following Subadvisors for the Funds: Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC, Macquarie, Jennison, O’Shaughnessy Asset Management, LLC, and Polen (in the case of the Large Cap Fund); GW&K Investment Management, LLC, Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis”), LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), River Road, and Westfield Capital Management Company, L.P. (in the case of the Small/Mid Cap Fund); American Century Investment Management, Inc., Arrowstreet Capital, Limited Partnership, LSV and Massachusetts Financial Services Company (in the case of the Non-US Core Fund); Origin and William Blair Investment Management, LLC (in the case of the Emerging Markets Fund); Acadian Asset Management LLC, Martingale Asset Management, L.P. and Veritas Asset Management LLP (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-subadvisor) (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 “Subadvisor,” and together, the “Subadvisors”).

In considering the renewal of the Subadvisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered the information and materials from the Advisor that included, as to each Subadvisor whose Subadvisory Agreement was being considered and each Fund: (i) the Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor; (ii) information regarding the review and due diligence process by which the Advisor selected, monitored, and evaluated the Subadvisor, and recommended the Subadvisor for Board approval; (iii) information describing the nature, extent, and quality of the services that the Subadvisor provided to the respective Fund, and the fees that the Subadvisor charged the Advisor for these services; (iv) the Fee Waiver Agreement, which requires the Advisor 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 Advisor is required to pay to a Fund’s Subadvisors for the management of their allocated portions of the subject Fund; (v) information regarding the Subadvisor’s business and operations, financial condition, portfolio management team, and compliance program; (vi) information regarding the Subadvisor’s brokerage and trading policies and practices; (vii) the Subadvisor’s performance in managing its allocated portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio; (viii) the Subadvisor’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

229

the Subadvisor to a relevant index; and (ix) the Advisor’s detailed monitoring and reporting of Subadvisor performance on qualitative and quantitative factors.

In addition, the Independent Trustees considered presentations made by, and discussions held with, representatives of the Advisor and representatives of various Subadvisors, 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 Advisor regarding the Subadvisors’ answers and responses to applicable information requests contained in the 15(c) Questionnaire. The Independent Trustees considered and analyzed the factors that they deemed relevant with respect to each Subadvisor, including: the nature, extent, and quality of the services that were provided to the applicable Fund by the Subadvisor; the Subadvisor’s investment management style and investment decision-making process; the Subadvisor’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 Subadvisor who were responsible for the day-to-day management of the allocated portion of the Fund; and the Subadvisor’s staffing levels and overall resources. The Independent Trustees also took into consideration the nature and extent of the oversight duties performed by the Advisor in connection with each of the Subadvisors, which includes extensive management and compliance due diligence with respect to the management and operations of each of the Subadvisors. Additionally, the Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from their independent legal counsel regarding legal standards in connection with their duties and responsibilities when approving advisory agreements.

In particular, and as to each Fund and to each Subadvisor, the Independent Trustees considered the following factors:

(a)  The nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services that were provided by the Subadvisors.  The Independent Trustees reviewed the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services that each Subadvisor had provided to the applicable Fund. The Independent Trustees considered the Advisor’s active role as a manager of managers, which included, among other items, monitoring and evaluating the performance of the Subadvisors, recommending that Subadvisors 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 Subadvisor in managing the assets that were allocated to the Subadvisor (which had been discussed with each Subadvisor previously); the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of the Subadvisor’s management and other personnel responsible for the portfolio management of the allocated portion of the applicable Fund; the financial position of the Subadvisor; information regarding the Subadvisor’s regulatory and legal compliance policies and procedures; and the Subadvisor’s brokerage practices. The Independent Trustees considered each Subadvisor’s infrastructure and whether it continued to support the Subadvisor’s investment strategy adequately. The Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s review, selection, and due diligence process with respect to each Subadvisor, and the Advisor’s favorable assessment as to the nature, extent, and quality of the subadvisory services that were provided by the Subadvisor. The Independent Trustees determined that each Fund would continue to benefit from the quality and experience of the portfolio managers of each Fund’s Subadvisors.

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 Subadvisor, as well as each Subadvisor’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 Subadvisors.

(b)  The costs of the services provided and the profits realized by the Subadvisor and its affiliates from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the Funds.  The Independent Trustees considered the review, selection, and due diligence process employed by the Advisor in deciding to recommend each Subadvisor as a Subadvisor to the respective Fund. The Independent Trustees took account of the Advisor’s reasons for concluding that the compensation payable to each Subadvisor for its services to the Funds was reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services furnished to the Fund, and the Advisor’s recommendation at the Meeting that the Subadvisors be continued, including in light of the fact that the Subadvisors’ 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 Advisor to each Subadvisor were the result of arm’s-length bargaining between unaffiliated parties, the relevance of each Subadvisor’s profitability was considered by the Independent Trustees in that context. The Independent Trustees took into account the Advisor’s ongoing monitoring of the appropriateness and competitiveness of each subadvisory fee and fee structure, the Advisor’s assessment that the subadvisory fee rates charged by each Subadvisor reflected a reasonable fee arrangement, and the Advisor’s continued initiative to negotiate reduced subadvisory fee schedules with the Subadvisors, 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 took note of the Advisor’s explanation that the Advisor was not realizing a direct profit from the investment advisory services it provides to the Funds as a result of the subadvisory fee arrangements and the Fee Waiver Agreement. The Independent Trustees also considered the information supplied by each Subadvisor that presented data regarding the fees charged to other comparable clients of the Subadvisor (as applicable). Based on their discussion, the Independent Trustees concluded that, in light of the quality and extent of the services that were provided, the fees paid to each Subadvisor with respect to the Fund assets that were allocated to the Subadvisor appeared to be within a reasonable range in relation to the services to be provided by each Subadvisor.

(c)  Ancillary Benefits.  The Independent Trustees considered whether there were any ancillary benefits that may accrue to the Subadvisors as a result of their relationships with the Funds. The Independent Trustees concluded that certain Subadvisors may direct Fund brokerage transactions to certain brokers to obtain research and other services. However, the Independent Trustees noted that the Subadvisors were required to select brokers who met the Funds’ requirements for seeking best execution, and that the Advisor monitored and evaluated the Subadvisors’ 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 the benefits accruing to the Subadvisors by virtue of their relationships with the Funds were reasonable based upon the level and quality of services provided.

(d)  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.  With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Trustees considered each Subadvisor’s fee schedule for providing services to the applicable Fund, and noted that several of the Subadvisory Agreements included breakpoints that would reduce the Subadvisor’s fee as the allocated portion of the applicable Fund (and/or certain assets globally with respect to the Advisor and its affiliates) managed by the Subadvisor 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 Subadvisors.  The Independent Trustees considered whether each Subadvisor operated within the applicable Fund’s investment objective and style and consistent with the Subadvisor’s investment strategy to support the Fund’s multi-manager

structure and approach, and noted each Subadvisor’s record of compliance with the Fund’s relevant investment restrictions and guidelines. The Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s conclusions, and the reasons supporting the Advisor’s conclusions, that the performance record of each Subadvisor, including on an absolute basis and relative to each Subadvisor’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 Advisor 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 Subadvisor continued to be supported by the services that were provided by each of the Subadvisors to the Funds, as well as by the information available on costs that were incurred and benefits that were gained by the Subadvisors 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.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)

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, 2021 through September 30, 2021. 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.
