Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
Mercer US Large Cap Equity Fund
Investment Objective and Benchmark
The investment objective of the Fund is long-term total return, which includes capital appreciation and income. The benchmark for the Fund is the Russell 1000® Index1.
Investment Strategy
The Fund invests principally in equity securities (such as common stock) issued by large capitalization U.S. companies. The Fund employs a “core equity” investment strategy by investing in both growth and value oriented equity securities. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments to gain market exposure on cash balances or to reduce market exposure in anticipation of liquidity needs.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund’s Y-3 share class performance was -10.94% compared to its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index, return of -8.39%. Performance for the Fund is reported net of fees and operating expenses while the benchmark returns do not include expenses of any kind as indexes are unmanaged and cannot be invested in directly.
The Sub-Advisers
As of March 31, 2023, the Fund employed six sub-advisers: Brandywine Global Investment Management LLC (Brandywine), O’Shaughnessy Asset Management LLC (OSAM), Polen Capital Management LLC (Polen), Jennison Associates LLC (Jennison), Delaware Investments Fund Advisers, a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (Macquarie), and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric).
Brandywine, a deep value manager, focuses on cheap stocks that trade at a significant discount to intrinsic value, with strong free cash flows and quality balance sheets.
OSAM is a yield focused quantitative value manager that seeks stocks that rank high based on valuation, quality and shareholder yield.
Polen is a concentrated quality growth manager, focused on finding high quality companies, with sustainable, above-average earnings growth.
Jennison is a growth manager who selects stocks with long-term competitive advantages that are growing earnings faster or longer than the broad market.
Macquarie is a quality value manager who invests in strong, high quality businesses with sound balance sheets and free cash flow generation.
Parametric utilizes exchange-traded futures to generate market exposure corresponding to the Fund’s benchmark.
Market Commentary and Fund Performance
Amidst a backdrop of rising inflation, liquidity tightening from the Federal Reserve and the war in Ukraine and its implications on the energy supply and prices, the U.S. market saw a sharp sell-off that started in the first quarter of 2022 and continued throughout much of the fiscal year. Volatility was persistent throughout the U.S. markets as a result of multi-decade high inflation prints and the Federal Reserve’s determination to fight it via tighter financial conditions. In the summer months, there was the perception that the Federal Reserve would pivot from its hawkish stance after inflation reached its peak sending the U.S. market on a strong rally. With the Fed reaffirming its hawkish stance in Jackson Hole in August, the rally ended and was followed by a sharp sell-off through the end of the summer and into the fall. In early October after the market reached oversold levels, another strong rally ensued through the end of November culminating with another sell-off in December through the end of 2022.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)
Mercer US Large Cap Equity Fund
After 2022 ended with widespread pessimism and investors had renewed optimism for 2023, the U.S. markets experienced a sharp rally in which companies that experienced severe volatility in 2022 saw a sharp reversal in momentum as their share prices soared in January. This beta2 rally quickly waned as inflation crept higher, the jobs report came in stronger than expected and hopes for a dovish Fed policy waned. In addition, Silicon Valley Bank, the bank of choice for many tech companies and entrepreneurs collapsed, which initiated a contagion effect on others such as Signature Bank. The banking failures and the sharp reversals in interest rate expectations became the main storyline of the first quarter in 2023.
Within the Russell 1000® Index, the Fund’s benchmark, the best performing sectors for the fiscal year were Energy 12.5%, Consumer Staples 1.0% and Industrials -0.2%. The worst performing sectors were Real Estate -19.5%, Consumer Discretionary -18.8% and Communication Services -18.1%. Information Technology, the largest sector in Russell 1000® Index returned -6.7%. Health Care, Utilities, Materials and Financials returned -3.9%, -6.0%, -8.1% and -14.1%, respectively.
The Mercer US Large Cap Equity Fund lagged the Russell 1000® Index for the period, with value oriented managers, Brandywine and OSAM, outperforming, and growth and higher quality managers, Jennison and Polen, underperforming their respective benchmarks. Macquarie, a quality value manager, moderately lagged its benchmark.
Jennison lagged the Russell 1000® Growth Index3 by 5.3%. Significant underperformance of higher growth, higher valuation stocks was a major headwind. The majority of underperformance came from security selection in Communication Services and Information Technology as well from being overweight in the Consumer Discretionary and Communication Services sectors. Overweight positions to Snap, Tesla, Atlassian and Crowdstrike were among the largest detractors from performance. On the positive side, the portfolio’s healthcare, semiconductor and luxury consumer exposure added to relative performance.
Polen lagged the Russell 1000® Growth Index by 6.0%. Significant underperformance resulted from weaker security selection and sector allocation. Specifically, stock selection within Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care detracted as did an overweight position in Communication Services. The portfolio’s lack of exposure to Consumer Staples and Industrials detracted from relative results. The largest detractors included Meta, DocuSign, and PayPal.
Macquarie underperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index4 by 0.4%. Macquarie’s underperformance was driven by security selection in a number of sectors such as Financials, Communication Services, Health Care, and Real Estate. Stronger security selection in Information Technology and Utilities were the largest positive contributors.
OSAM outperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index by 0.8%. Security selection in Information Technology, Health Care, Consumer Discretionary, and Energy led to outperformance. Security selection in Communication Services and Financials detracted. OSAM’s higher than index exposure to equities lower value multiples, such as price to earnings and price to cash flow, was a tailwind as companies with value characteristics tended to outperform during the period.
Brandywine outperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index by 1.4%. Security selection in Communication Services, Financials and Consumer Discretionary as well as being underweight to Real Estate were the largest positive contributors. Security selection in Materials and being underweight to Industrials detracted. Brandywine’s higher than index exposure to inexpensively priced equities was a tailwind as companies with value characteristics tended to outperform during the period.
Parametric utilizes exchange-traded futures to replicate the Fund’s benchmark, aiming to provide broad, passive, equity market exposure to the Fund’s liquidity sleeve, and seeking to create positive returns on assets that would have otherwise been earning cash or cash equivalent returns. Performance differences versus the benchmark are largely a result of cash flow effects related to daily subscription/redemption activity and through financing costs of futures relative to interest earned on cash.

Risk Considerations
The Fund invests in both growth stocks and value stocks. Growth stocks may be particularly sensitive to market conditions. Investing in value stocks involves the risk that an investment made in undervalued securities may not appreciate in value as anticipated or remain undervalued for long periods of time. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments such as exchange-listed equity futures contracts, which may cause the Fund to experience greater volatility and less liquidity. Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in market conditions and may amplify the risk of loss for the Fund.

Mercer US Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund
Investment Objective and Benchmark
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term total return, comprised primarily of capital appreciation. The benchmark for the Fund is the Russell 2500® Index1.
Investment Strategy
The Fund invests principally in equity securities issued by small-to-medium capitalization U.S. companies. The Fund employs a “core equity” investment strategy by investing in both growth and value oriented equity securities. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments to gain market exposure on cash balances or to reduce market exposure in anticipation of liquidity needs.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund’s Y-3 share class performance was -6.69% compared to its benchmark, the Russell 2500® Index, return of -10.39%. Performance for the Fund is reported net of fees and operating expenses while the benchmark returns do not include expenses of any kind as indexes are unmanaged.
The Sub-Advisers
As of March 31, 2023, the Fund employed six sub-advisers: Westfield Capital Management Company, L.P. (Westfield), GW&K Investment Management LLC (GW&K), Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (Loomis), LSV Asset Management (LSV), River Road Asset Management, LLC (River Road) and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric).
Westfield, a traditional growth manager, employs a fundamental, bottom-up approach, which seeks to identify reasonably priced stocks with high earnings growth potential. A bottom-up approach focuses on the analysis of individual stocks and de-emphasizes the significance of macroeconomic and market cycles with the assumption individual companies can do well even in an industry that is not performing, at least on a relative basis.
GW&K uses a bottom-up fundamental research process in order to identify high quality companies with sustainable long-term earnings growth rates.
Loomis looks to provide a lower volatility approach to high growth investing by seeking companies with high quality business models that have differentiated and sustainable growth opportunities.
LSV, a quantitative value manager, using mathematical and statistical methods, seeks deep value, out-of-favor companies with recent momentum. LSV avoids introducing any judgmental biases or behavioral weaknesses into their investment process.
River Road, a fundamental absolute value manager, seeks to buy stocks at a discount to their fair value and sell them at or in excess of that value, and focuses on purchasing companies that are priced at a modest discount to their absolute value and possess superior fundamental business characteristics.
Parametric utilizes exchange-traded futures to generate market exposure corresponding to the Fund’s benchmark.

This beta2 rally quickly waned as inflation crept higher, the jobs report came in stronger than expected and hopes for a dovish Fed policy waned. In addition, Silicon Valley Bank, the bank of choice for many tech companies and entrepreneurs collapsed, which initiated a contagion effect on others such as Signature Bank. The banking failures and the sharp reversals in interest rate expectations became the main storyline of the first quarter in 2023.
Within the Russell 2500® Index, the Fund’s benchmark, the best performing sectors for the fiscal year were consumer staples and industrials with returns of 1.5% and -1.4%, respectively. Underperforming sectors for the fiscal year were communication services and real estate, with returns of -24.1% and -21.5%, respectively. The top performing industries for the fiscal year were construction & engineering and beverages with returns of 18.6% and 15.05%, respectively. The underperforming industries for the fiscal year were office REITs and interactive media & services with returns of -52.0% and -41.2%, respectively.
The Mercer US Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund outperformed the Russell 2500® Index by 3.7% for the period. The Fund’s exposure to value, quality and lower beta profile were tailwinds towards performance for the year. Security selection, particularly in the industrials, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors contributed towards performance while selection in the information technology and real estate sectors detracted from performance for the fiscal year. From an allocation standpoint, the Fund’s underweight positions in the real estate and communication services sectors contributed towards performance while the Fund’s underweight positions in the energy and utilities sectors detracted from performance.
Westfield outperformed the Russell 2500® Growth Index3 by 4.7% for the fiscal year. In addition, their strong security selection in the industrials and information technology sectors contributed towards performance for the fiscal year. From an allocation standpoint, their underweight positioning in the consumer discretionary and communication services sectors coupled with their overweight positioning in the financials and industrials sectors also contributed towards performance. Westfield’s lack of exposure to the consumer staples sector detracted from performance for the fiscal year.
GW&K’s outperformed the Russell 2500® Index by 4.2% and it can be attributed to its exposure to higher quality and lower beta stocks. In addition, their strong security selection in the industrials, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors contributed towards their performance despite their selection in the information technology sector. From an allocation standpoint, their lack of exposure to the communication services sector combined with an underweight to financials contributed towards performance while their underweight positioning in the energy sector weighed on performance for the fiscal year.
LSV’s outperformance versus the Russell 2500® Value Index4 by 5.2% for the period was driven by their deeper value style being in favor, which is evident with their security selection across multiple sectors contributing towards performance. From an allocation standpoint, their underweight to the real estate sector combined with an overweight to the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors contributed towards performance despite their underweight to the industrials and energy sectors.
River Road’s outperformance versus the Russell 2500® Value Index by 7.9% for the period was attributed to their lack of exposure to REITs and banks within the financials sector. In addition, their overweight in the industrials sector combined with their strong security selection in the financials sector contributed towards performance for the fiscal year.
Loomis’ exposure to quality growth coupled with their lower beta approach to high growth investing were tailwinds towards performance for the fiscal year despite their underperformance versus the Russell 2500® Growth Index by -0.57%. Despite their strong security selection in the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors, their security selection  in the information technology and health care sectors detracted from performance versus the Russell 2500® Growth Index. From an allocation standpoint, their lack of exposure to the real estate sector coupled with an overweight to the consumer staples and industrials sectors contributed towards performance, while their underweight to the energy sector weighed on performance for the full fiscal year.

Mercer Non-US Core Equity Fund
Investment Objective and Benchmark
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term total return, which includes capital appreciation and income. The benchmark for the Fund is the MSCI EAFE® Index1.
Investment Strategy
The Fund invests principally in equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies of any capitalization, located in the world’s developed and emerging capital markets. The Fund employs a “core equity” investment strategy that seeks to meet the Fund’s investment objective by investing in both growth- and value-oriented equity securities.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund’s Y-3 share class performance was -2.17% and the I share class performance was -2.47% compared to its benchmark return of -1.38%. Performance for the Fund is reported net of fees and operating expenses while the benchmark returns do not include expenses of any kind as indexes are unmanaged.
The Sub-Advisers
As of March 31, 2023, the Fund employed five sub-advisers: Arrowstreet Capital, Limited Partnership (Arrowstreet), American Century Investment Management, Inc. (American Century), Massachusetts Financial Services Company (MFS), LSV Asset Management (LSV) and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric).
Arrowstreet’s strategy seeks to outperform international equity benchmarks through a risk-controlled core approach. Arrowstreet combines sound investment intuition and research with rigorous quantitative tools to identify mispriced stocks around the world. Arrowstreet believes that the key to generating returns in excess of the benchmark involves evaluating the prospects of a security considering the characteristics of the stock itself (direct effects), characteristics of other related stocks (indirect effects) as well as attractiveness of the country and sector basket to which the stock belongs to.
American Century manages its portfolio based on an investment philosophy that companies exhibiting improving or accelerating growth will outperform the market over time. American Century constructs its portfolio through a bottom-up stock selection, which focuses on individual stock selection rather than macroeconomic and market cycles, within a risk aware framework. American Century’s thorough research process seeks to identify companies that are exhibiting an improvement or acceleration in growth where it believes that growth is sustainable but that the earnings power of the company is generally underestimated. American Century can opportunistically invest in emerging market stocks.
MFS’s investment process is based on a fundamental, bottom-up stock selection of high quality companies whose long-term value MFS believes is not adequately reflected in the stock price.
LSV utilizes a quantitative approach, which uses mathematical and statistical methods and seeks deep value stocks that have fallen out of favor with the market, but have recent momentum, either in terms of price or earnings. LSV believes that long-term results are achieved through systematic exploitation of judgmental biases and behavioral weaknesses that influence investor decisions. LSV aims to exploit these biases through the disciplined application of quantitative techniques to drive bottom-up security selection.
Parametric utilizes exchange-traded futures to generate market exposure corresponding to the Fund’s benchmark.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)
Mercer Non-US Core Equity Fund
Market Commentary and Fund Performance
2023 fiscal year was a turbulent period for capital markets. Multi-decade high inflation rates, fueled by very accommodative fiscal and monetary policy of the prior two years, supply chain disruptions and commodity price spikes, further escalated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, were front and center for policy makers and investors. In response to the stubbornly high inflation prints, global central banks initiated one of the most aggressive hiking cycles in decades. With rates rising sharply, the precipitous decline in equity markets which began in January of 2022 continued until October when the global markets bottomed and investor sentiment reached its trough. In contrast to the first half of the fiscal year, the second half experienced strong rallies as investors began to bet on moderating inflation, slowing interest rate hikes by central banks and a possibility of soft landing.
For the year ended March 31, 2023, U.S. equities, measured using the Russell 1000® Index2, declined by 8.39%. Compared to the U.S., international developed markets performed better, with the MSCI EAFE® Index (the Fund’s benchmark) decreasing by 1.38% over the period. The MSCI Emerging Markets® Index3 declined by 10.70% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2023. In local currency terms MSCI EAFE® Index and MSCI Emerging Markets® Index posted higher returns, as the US dollar appreciated compared to other major currencies.
Fears of looming recession and weak Chinese demand from the prolonged zero COVID policy put pressure on the commodity prices in the second half of the year, resulting in poor returns from commodity producing countries such as Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Canada, Australia and Brazil. These countries were among the best performers in the prior fiscal year. India and Taiwan which performed well during prior fiscal year also had weak returns. On the other hand, European equities with attractive valuations from prior year’s sharp underperformance showed best returns. Chinese equities, which were the worst performing major market in the 2022 fiscal year, rallied sharply in May-June and again between October and January, as the country officially emerged from COVID lockdown. However, on both occasions, these rallies were followed by sharp reversals, leaving Chinese equities with a 6.3% decline for the year.
Triggered by rising interest rates and expensive valuations, the sharp underperformance of companies with high earnings growth and higher profitability characteristics continued in the first three quarters of the fiscal year. In the fourth quarter, this trend reversed, making the underperformance of the growth versus value equities less pronounced. The persistent outperformance of energy stocks also reversed in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.  Smaller market capitalization companies were under significantly more pressure compared to mega and larger market capitalization companies. Momentum was the worst performing equity style across all major markets. For the year, value was the best performing investment style followed by lower volatility.
For the fiscal year, in Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) markets, energy 10.4%, consumer discretionary 5.6% and consumer staples 1.7% were the best performing sectors while real estate -20.0%, materials -6.2% and communication services -6.1% were the worst performers.
Arrowstreet outperformed the Fund’s benchmark by 1.6%. Arrowstreet’s tilt towards value stocks was a tailwind. Among largest positive contributors were being underweight to real estate and overweight to energy. Germany was the most significant country-level positive contributor in large part due to positive security selection in German consumer discretionary and financials sectors. Weaker security selection in health care, primarily due to negative selection in United Kingdom and Swiss health care names was a detractor. Additionally, being underweight to French consumer discretionary names also contributed negatively. Russia was the most significant country-level detractor due to strategy’s exposure to Russian energy stocks.
American Century lagged the Fund’s benchmark by 5.1%. Companies with high and accelerating earnings growth characteristics continued to experience sharp-selloff during the 2023 fiscal year; this environment was a major headwind for American Century. The majority of underperformance came from security selection in information technology, consumer discretionary, materials, industrials, and financials.

Mercer Non-US Core Equity Fund
MFS underperformed the Fund’s benchmark by 2%. Weak security selection within both materials and industrials detracted from relative results. Being underweight to the energy sector further weakened relative performance. Conversely, an overweight exposure to consumer staples and strong security selection within the information technology sector strengthened relative results. The strategy’s relative currency exposure, resulting primarily from differences between the strategy’s and its benchmark’s exposures to holdings of securities denominated in foreign currencies also contributed to relative performance.
LSV outperformed the Fund’s benchmark by 1.2%. LSV’s tilt towards lower market capitalization stocks was a headwind; higher than benchmark exposure to value stocks was a tailwind. Stronger security selection in industrials and financials were largest positive contributors. Security selection in health care and consumer discretionary were main detractors.
Parametric utilizes exchange-traded futures replicating the Fund’s benchmark, aiming to provide broad, passive, equity market exposure to the Fund’s liquidity sleeve, and seeking to create positive returns on assets that would have otherwise been earning cash or cash equivalent returns. Performance differences versus the benchmark are largely a result of cash flow effects related to daily subscription/redemption activity and through financing costs of futures relative to interest earned on cash.
Risk Considerations
The Fund invests in foreign and emerging market securities which involves certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity. Emerging markets may be more volatile and less liquid than more developed markets and therefore may involve greater risks. Investments made in small and mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid due to limited resources or product lines and more sensitive to economic factors. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments such as exchange-listed equity futures contracts, which may cause the Fund to experience greater volatility and less liquidity. Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in market conditions and may amplify the risk of loss for the Fund.

Mercer Core Fixed Income Fund
Investment Objective and Benchmark
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide total return, consisting of both current income and capital appreciation. The benchmark for the Fund is the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond™ Index1.
Investment Strategy
The Fund invests principally in investment grade fixed income securities, including government securities, corporate bonds and securitized bonds, such as mortgage and asset-backed securities. The Fund may also invest in non-investment grade bonds (sometimes called high yield or junk bonds), non-U.S. dollar denominated bonds, and bonds issued by issuers located in emerging capital markets. The Fund may also invest in certain derivative instruments, such as options, futures, and swap agreements. The Fund may engage in transactions in derivatives for a variety of purposes, including changing the investment characteristics of its portfolio, enhancing total returns or as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying asset.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund’s Y-3 share class performance was -5.20% compared to its benchmark return of -4.78%. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund’s I share class performance was -5.42% compared to its benchmark return of -4.78%. Performance for the Fund is reported net of fees and operating expenses while the benchmark returns do not include expenses of any kind as indexes are unmanaged.
The Sub-Advisers
As of March 31, 2023, the Fund employed three sub-advisers: Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC (Manulife), Income Research & Management (IR&M) and PGIM Fixed Income, a business unit of PGIM, Inc. (Prudential).
Manulife manages its allocated portion of the Fund by seeking to produce superior results through bottom-up active management of sector allocation and issue selection, combined with yield curve positioning. Duration is also managed in line with the benchmark. The investment team capitalizes on their disciplined investment process and adds value by following a relative value approach to sector allocation and issue selection while engaging in intensive fundamental credit research and identifying points on the yield curve with the greatest return potential.
IR&M manages its allocated portion of the Fund based on the belief that careful security selection and higher portfolio income provide superior returns over the long term. Portfolios are constructed using a disciplined, bottom-up investment approach to select attractive securities from the U.S. fixed income universe. A bottom-up approach focuses on the analysis of individual issuers and de-emphasizes the significance of macroeconomic and market cycles with the assumption individual companies can do well even in an industry that is not performing, at least on a relative basis.
Prudential manages its allocated portion of the Fund by seeking to maximize excess return opportunities from sustainable alpha2 sources, such as sector allocation and bottom-up security selection. This process is coupled with a diligent daily portfolio risk evaluation and monitoring process. Research-based security selection is a major source of added value and incorporates both fundamental analysis, by measuring a security’s intrinsic value to determine if undervalued or overvalued, as well as proprietary models, by using software and other means of analysis to gain a competitive edge, which identify relative value and detailed technical review of issuers across both benchmark and non-benchmark sectors, with an emphasis on credit-oriented sectors.
Market Commentary and Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2023, U.S. fixed income market returns, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond™ Index, were -4.78%, mainly driven by a move structurally higher in U.S. interest rates.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)
Mercer Core Fixed Income Fund
Rising consumer prices as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI)3 fed in to U.S. monetary policy action, creating the need for one of the most aggressive hiking cycles on record. U.S. inflation as measured by CPI hit a four-decade high of 9.1% in June 2022, with large increases in the cost of gasoline, shelter and food. During the fiscal year, the Fed hiked +50 basis points (bps)4 in May 2022, +75bps in June, July, September, and November 2022, +50bps in December 2022, +25bps in February 2023, and +25bps in March 2023 with the federal funds rate ending the period at 4.75-5%. As indication that Fed action is gaining traction, U.S. inflation eased in March 2023 with CPI rising 5.0% from a year earlier, marking the ninth straight monthly deceleration since the peak in June 2022.
Investment grade credit spreads ended the period at 138bps (1.38%), widening from their March 2022 level of 116bps (1.16%). Front end rates steadily climbed higher for the period, while the 10 and 30-year Treasuries peaked around November 2022 and have since come down. The 3-month T-Bill ended the period at a rate of 4.85%, 433bps higher than its March 2022 level of 0.52%. The 10-year Treasury ended the period at a rate of 3.48%, 116bps higher than its March 2022 level of 2.32%. Perhaps the biggest market signal thus far of tighter conditions and worrying growth outlook is the shape of the curve.  The spread between 10-year yields and 3-month yields was +180bps in March 2022, and now sits at an extreme inversion...-137bps.
The Fund’s return was negative in relative terms as it underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond™ Index for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The majority of underperformance was due to the Fund’s strategic overweight to spread sectors during a period when credit-sensitive sectors generally lagged, with the majority of underperformance occurring during the early stages of the period.
The respective performance results of each Sub-adviser was in line with expectations based on risk posture. Manulife has the largest share of the risk-allocation within the Fund. Manulife’s bias towards corporate credit and allocation to “higher quality” high yield bonds led the manager to underperform for the fiscal year.
Prudential had a marginally less aggressive allocation to spread sectors relative to Manulife, but was still overweight relative to the Fund’s benchmark. The majority of underperformance relative to the benchmark was due to the portfolio’s long spread risk position in the first quarter of the fiscal year as volatility in risk markets increased and spreads widened in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and growing concerns over stickier inflation.
IR&M outperformed the Fund’s benchmark over the trailing 12-month period. The bias towards higher quality corporate bonds as well as their tactical rotation of spread exposure led them to outperform.
Risk Considerations
The Fund is subject to the risks that the underlying bonds in its portfolio are subject to, including credit, prepayment, call and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, the value of bond prices will decline. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may expose the Fund to currency and exchange rate fluctuations, derivatives (such as futures, options, or swaps) and high yield bonds (also known as “junk” bonds). These investments may cause the Fund to experience greater volatility and less liquidity. Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in market conditions and may amplify the risk of loss for the Fund. The Fund may also experience high portfolio turnover, which may result in higher transaction costs and capital gains.

Mercer Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund
Investment Objective and Benchmark
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term total return, which includes capital appreciation and income. The Fund’s primary benchmark is the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global High Yield 2% Constrained Index Unhedged1. The Fund’s secondary benchmark2 is a blended benchmark consisting of 35% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Total Return Index Hedged3, 17.5% Bloomberg Global High Yield Index4, 10.5% JP Morgan CEMBI Diversified Index5, 7% S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index6, and 30% JP Morgan GBI-EM Diversified Index7.
Investment Strategy
The Fund invests principally in fixed income securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including those in emerging and frontier markets. The Fund invests in various strategic and tactical global bond market opportunities without limitations in geography, issuer type, quality and currency denomination. The Fund may invest in derivatives such as futures (including among others, interest rate futures), swaps (currency, interest rate, credit default and total return), forwards, options, and credit-linked notes. The Fund may engage in transactions in derivatives for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, efficient portfolio management, enhance total returns, or as a substitute for taking position in the underlying asset.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund’s Y-3 share class performance was -2.96% compared to its primary benchmark return of -2.47% and secondary benchmark return of -2.54%, Performance of the Fund is reported net of fees and operating expenses while the benchmark returns do not include expenses of any kind as indexes are unmanaged.
The Sub-Advisers
As of March 31, 2023, the Fund employed four sub-advisers, Western Asset Management Company, LLC and Western Asset Management Company Limited (as sub-subadviser) (together referred to as WAMCO), Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (Loomis), BlackRock International Limited (BlackRock), and Colchester Global Investors Limited (Colchester).
In managing its allocated portion of the Fund’s portfolio, Loomis invests in debt of issuers globally. Loomis produces country specific credit cycle views and forward looking financial market regimes as inputs to portfolio construction. Security selection is then carried out by the investment team with input from a team of credit analysts who maintain a comprehensive database of internal ratings. The investment team will also engage in active duration positioning although security and sector selections are identified as main drivers of performance.
In managing its allocated portion of the Fund’s portfolio, WAMCO employs an active, team-managed investment approach around a long-term, value-oriented investment philosophy. The portfolio seeks to harvest income opportunities by constructing a diversified portfolio that includes investment-grade and high yield corporate credit, non-dollar debt, bank loans, Credit Loan Obligations (CLO), emerging markets sovereign and corporate debt, and a variety of structured credit (Residential Mortgage Backed Security (RMBS), Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS), Asset Backed Securities (ABS)). Western seeks to add value through sector rotation, issue selection, duration management, yield curve positioning, and tail risk hedging.
In managing its allocated portion of the Fund’s portfolio, Colchester invests in sovereign debt issued by emerging market borrowers denominated in each issuer’s local currency. Colchester’s portfolio construction process is based on a quantitative model, using mathematical and statistical methods, that promotes allocation to countries and currencies identified based on attractive real yields for bonds and attractive valuations for currencies, complemented by sound financial characteristics and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations.
In managing its allocated portion of the Fund’s portfolio, BlackRock invests in emerging market debt securities denominated in local currency. BlackRock’s portfolio construction process implements a top down philosophy focused on identifying economic or market themes that impact asset prices. The themes inform the team’s market views and portfolios are positioned to benefit from directional moves in the market.

Market Commentary and Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2023, U.S. fixed income market returns, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond™ Index8, were -4.78%, driven mainly by a structural move higher in US interest rates. Rising consumer prices as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) fed in to US monetary policy action, creating the need for one of the most aggressive hiking cycles on record. U.S. inflation as measured by CPI hit a four-decade high of 9.1% in June 2022, with large increases in the cost of gasoline, shelter and food. During the fiscal year, the Fed hiked +50 basis points (bps) in May 2022, +75bps in June, July, September, and November 2022, +50bps in December 2022, +25bps in February 2023, and +25bps in March 2023 with the federal funds rate ending the period at 4.75-5%. As indication that Fed action is gaining traction, U.S. inflation eased to 5.0% as of March 2023, marking the ninth straight monthly deceleration since the peak in June 2022.
Investment grade credit spreads ended the period at 138bps (1.38%), widening from their March 2022 level of 116bps (1.16%). Front end rates steadily climbed higher for the period, while the 10 and 30-year Treasuries peaked around November 2022 and have since come down. The 3-month T-Bill ended the period at a rate of 4.85%, 433bps higher than its March 2022 level of 0.52%. The 10-year Treasury ended the period at a rate of 3.48%, 116bps higher than its March 2022 level of 2.32%. Perhaps the biggest market signal thus far of tighter conditions and worrying growth outlook is the shape of the curve. The spread between 10 year yields and 2 year yields was +180bps in March 2022, and now sits at an extreme inversion…-137bps.
JPM GBI-EM Global Diversified Index of local currency Emerging Market government returned -0.72% in U.S. dollar terms over the 12-month period ending March 31, 2023. The asset class was challenged by heightened inflation and recession concerns, global central banks’ policy tightening and geopolitical uncertainty over the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
During the period, WAMCO and Loomis underperformed their component of the Fund’s secondary benchmark with both managers struggling to meaningfully capitalize on opportunistic sector exposures. WAMCO had mixed performance with duration and yield curve positioning detracting while sector allocation in investment grade corporates, high yield corporates, and emerging market debt offset some of the underperformance. Loomis’ underperformance was driven by sector allocation in investment grade corporates and emerging market debt.
During the period, Blackrock and Colchester outperformed their component of the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the JPM GBI-EM Diversified Index government bond benchmark. BlackRock’s macro regime shifting investment approach helped to take advantage of broad market correlation shifts and idiosyncratic opportunities. Colchester benefited from continuing their fundamental real-yield valuation approach. The repricing higher of out-of-benchmark positions in Russian government bonds in the first half of the fiscal year added to performance while both managers sought too tactically trim exposure.
Risk Considerations
The Fund invests in non-investment grade and emerging market fixed income securities that involve certain risks such as higher volatility, currency fluctuation, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risks that the underlying bonds in its portfolio are subject to, including credit, prepayment, call and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, the value of bond prices will decline. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may expose the Fund to currency and exchange rate fluctuations, derivatives (such as futures, options and swaps) and high yield bonds (also known as “junk” bonds). These investments may cause the Fund to experience greater volatility and less liquidity. Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in market conditions and may amplify the risk of loss for the Fund.

Schroders manages a dedicated China allocation for the Fund to exploit alpha opportunities within the country. The strategy is a bottom up, fundamental strategy, relying on a team of experienced analysts and PMs to source and evaluate potential investments. The strategy is based on the belief that investing in quality businesses, with sustainable competitive advantages, and focus on shareholder value, trading at reasonable valuations will outperform over time.
Parametric utilizes exchange-traded futures to generate market exposure corresponding to the Fund’s benchmark.

Mercer Emerging Markets Equity Fund
Market Commentary and Fund Performance
2023 fiscal year was a turbulent period for capital markets. Multi-decade high inflation rates, fueled by very accommodative fiscal and monetary policy of the prior two years, supply chain disruptions and commodity price spikes, further escalated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, were front and center for policy makers and investors. In response to the stubbornly high inflation prints, global central banks initiated one of the most aggressive hiking cycles in decades. With rates rising sharply, the precipitous decline in equity markets which began in January of 2022 continued until October when the global markets bottomed and investor sentiment reached its trough. In contrast to the first half of the fiscal year, the second half experienced strong rallies as investors began to bet on moderating inflation, slowing interest rate hikes by central banks and a possibility of soft landing.
For the year ended March 31, 2023, U.S. equities, measured using the Russell 1000® Index2, declined by 8.39%. Compared to the U.S., international developed markets performed better, with the MSCI EAFE® Index3 decreasing by 1.39% over the period. The MSCI Emerging Markets® Index (the Fund’s benchmark) declined by 10.70% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2023. In local currency terms MSCI EAFE® Index and MSCI Emerging Markets® Index posted higher returns, as the US dollar appreciated compared to other major currencies.
Fears of looming recession and weak Chinese demand from the prolonged zero COVID policy put pressure on the commodity prices in the second half of the year, resulting in poor returns from commodity producing countries such as Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Canada, Australia and Brazil. These countries were among the best performers in the prior fiscal year. India and Taiwan which performed well during prior fiscal year also had weak returns. On the other hand, European equities with attractive valuations from prior year’s sharp underperformance showed best returns. Chinese equities, which were the worst performing major market in the 2022 fiscal year, rallied sharply in May-June and again between October and January, as the country officially emerged from COVID lockdown. However, on both occasions, these rallies were followed by sharp reversals, leaving Chinese equities with 6.3% decline for the year.
Triggered by rising interest rates and expensive valuations, the sharp underperformance of companies with high earnings growth and higher profitability characteristics continued in the first three quarters of the fiscal year. In the fourth quarter, this trend reversed, making the underperformance of the growth versus value equities less pronounced. The persistent outperformance of energy stocks also reversed in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.  Smaller market capitalization companies were under significantly more pressure compared to mega and larger market capitalization companies. Momentum was the worst performing equity style across all major markets. For the year value was the best performing investment style followed by lower volatility.
For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2023, the Mercer Emerging Markets Equity Fund outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets® Index by approximately 1.2%. The Fund’s outperformance was driven in large part by strong performance from two sub-advisers, Schroders and Bennbridge/Skerryvore
Barrow Hanley, the newly appointed manager in the fund outperformed by 0.4% since their inception in December of 2022. Contributing to performance was a general underweight to India, which pulled back during the period on concerns around Adani Enterprises, a large influential Indian industrial conglomerate. Strong stock selection in Brazil and Taiwan along with a general underweight to commodity producers in the Middle East were also additive to performance.
The William Blair Emerging Markets strategy underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets® Index by 4.0% over the trailing 12-month period ending March 31st. Blair’s focus on high growth, high quality and long-duration assets was significantly out of style as markets favored low-valuation stocks. Nearly all of the trailing 12-month relative underperformance can be traced to the fourth quarter where markets saw a sharp country and industry rotation in the wake of China’s decisive U-turn on its zero-COVID policy and rapid relaxation of travel restrictions. Against this backdrop, stock selection was generally challenged in China, India, and South Korea, particularly within technology, consumer, and financial names. On the positive side Mexico and Indonesia were bright spots on a relative basis.

Bennbridge/Skerryvore outperformed by 10.2% for the year ending 3/31/23. The portfolio’s focus on higher quality businesses with strong alignment with minority shareholders was beneficial during a choppy period for emerging markets. The team added value across sectors and countries, with notable winners in Brazil (WEG SA), India (Cipla) and consumer names (China Resource Beer, Heineken, Unilever, and Fomento Economico).
Origin underperformed by 3.8% during the period as momentum shifted throughout the year, creating headwinds to a core tenant of their investment philosophy. Chinese and Taiwanese holdings in particular were a large detractor, especially within financials and industrials. On the positive side, holdings in Brazil and a general underweight to the Middle East contributed.
The portion of the Fund allocated to Schroders, which pursues investment opportunities in China, outperformed for the year. Strong security selection across a number of industries added value, with holdings in industrials and in companies tied to the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain and renewable energy (solar) space being notable outperformers. Strong relative performance in real estate (selection and underweight), along with an allocation to gold miners, also added value.
Parametric utilizes exchange-traded futures to replicate the Fund’s benchmark, aiming to provide broad, passive, equity market exposure to the Fund’s liquidity sleeve and seeking to create positive returns on assets that would have otherwise been earning cash or cash equivalent returns. Performance differences versus the benchmark are largely a result of cash flow effects related to daily subscription/redemption activity and through financing costs
of futures relative to interest earned on cash.
Risk Considerations
The Fund invests in emerging market securities which involves certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity. Emerging markets may be more volatile and less liquid than more developed markets and therefore may involve greater risks. Investments made in small and mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid due to limited resources or product lines and more sensitive to economic factors. The Fund may invest in derivatives (such as futures, forwards, options, or swaps), which may cause the Fund to experience greater volatility and less liquidity. Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in market conditions and may amplify the risk of loss for the Fund.

Investment Objective and Benchmark
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term total return, which includes capital appreciation and income. The benchmark for the Fund is the MSCI World® Index1.
Investment Strategy
The Fund invests principally in equity securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, of large, medium and small capitalization companies. Stock index futures and various types of swaps may be used to implement the equity security selection component of the Fund’s investment strategy. Currency forwards may be used to make stock- selection and country allocation decisions independently of the underlying currency.
Performance
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the Fund’s Y-3 share class performance was -4.53% compared to its benchmark return of -7.02%. Performance for the Fund is reported net of fees and operating expenses while the benchmark returns do not include expenses of any kind as indexes are unmanaged.
The Sub-Advisers
As of March 31, 2023, the Fund employed five sub-advisers, Acadian Asset Management LLC (Acadian), Martingale Asset Management, L.P. (Martingale), Ninety One North America, Inc (Ninety One), Veritas Asset Management LLP (Veritas) and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric).
Acadian is the Fund’s dedicated minimum variance manager for developed economies outside the U.S. The strategy applies a quantitative investment process, using mathematical and statistical methods, to the EAFE + Canada universe of securities and emphasizes low-volatility securities, low correlations between securities and a high degree of portfolio diversification with the goal of constructing a portfolio with lower levels of absolute volatility compared to the benchmark. Additionally, the strategy applies Acadian’s stock forecast and top-down alpha model, which measures the active return on an investment for performance as compared with a suitable market index, in order to enhance the returns. The portfolio does not employ tight constraints vs the benchmark across capitalization and/or sectors, enhancing its ability to more effectively manage portfolio volatility.
Martingale is the Fund’s dedicated minimum variance manager for the U.S. region. The strategy uses a systematic process of investing in stocks with lower stock price volatility and attractive fundamental factors such as value, quality and momentum. The portfolio aims to deliver equity-like market returns with lower volatility and less downside risk than the market index. Martingale’s core process includes reconstituting the Russell 1000 Index®2 into a proprietary “Stability Index”, which Martingale believes more accurately reflects stock risk properties based on longer-term company fundamentals as well as high frequency short-term risk signals. The strategy is managed against the derived Stability Index, which measures the degree of change (or stability) of the market, by applying stock and industry alpha forecasting models and optimizing to minimize the portfolio’s absolute volatility.
Ninety One manages a concentrated portfolio of exceptionally high-quality companies, operating in stable or growing industries with high barriers to entry and low capital intensity. The team uses bottom up fundamental analysis to select businesses that display the best combination of high quality, sustainable growth and compelling valuations. Fundamental analysis focuses on companies with “franchise” characteristics and competitive advantages. Their evidence suggests that dominant intangible assets (low capital intensity) such as high customer loyalty, brands, patents, licenses, copyrights, and distribution networks are difficult to create and more difficult for competitors to duplicate. Enduring franchises consistently generate high returns on capital and compound shareholder wealth. Companies will have high return on capital investment, high gross margins, low leverage, low capital intensity, above average growth and stable cash flow generation.
Veritas uses an unconstrained, fundamentally driven, rigorous research process with a long-term horizon. Veritas believes that companies with sustainable competitive advantage and benefiting from long-term drivers of growth, purchased at attractive valuations, will deliver performance in excess of the benchmark over time. The strategy may hold up to 20% cash.

Market Commentary and Fund Performance
2023 fiscal year was a turbulent period for capital markets. Multi-decade high inflation rates, fueled by very accommodative fiscal and monetary policy of the prior two years, supply chain disruptions and commodity price spikes, further escalated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, were front and center for policy makers and investors. In response to the stubbornly high inflation prints, global central banks initiated one of the most aggressive hiking cycles in decades. With rates rising sharply, the precipitous decline in equity markets which began in January of 2022 continued until October when the global markets bottomed and investor sentiment reached its trough. In contrast to the first half of the fiscal year, the second half experienced strong rallies as investors began to bet on moderating inflation, slowing interest rate hikes by central banks and a possibility of soft landing.
For the year ended March 31, 2023, U.S. equities, measured using the Russell 1000® Index2, declined by 8.39%. Compared to the U.S., international developed markets performed better, with the MSCI EAFE® Index3 decreasing by 1.39% over the period. The MSCI Emerging Markets® Index4 declined by 10.70% for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2023. In local currency terms MSCI EAFE® Index and MSCI Emerging Markets® Index posted higher returns, as the US dollar appreciated compared to other major currencies.
Fears of looming recession and weak Chinese demand from the prolonged zero COVID policy put pressure on the commodity prices in the second half of the year, resulting in poor returns from commodity producing countries such as Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Canada, Australia and Brazil. These countries were among the best performers in the prior fiscal year. India and Taiwan which performed well during prior fiscal year also had weak returns. On the other hand, European equities with attractive valuations from prior year’s sharp underperformance showed best returns. Chinese equities, which were the worst performing major market in the 2022 fiscal year, rallied sharply in May-June and again between October and January, as the country officially emerged from COVID lockdown. However, on both occasions, these rallies were followed by sharp reversals, leaving Chinese equities with 6.3% decline for the year.
Triggered by rising interest rates and expensive valuations, the sharp underperformance of companies with high earnings growth and higher profitability characteristics continued in the first three quarters of the fiscal year. In the fourth quarter, this trend reversed, making the underperformance of the growth versus value equities less pronounced. The persistent outperformance of energy stocks also reversed in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.  Smaller market capitalization companies were under significantly more pressure compared to mega and larger market capitalization companies. Momentum was the worst performing equity style across all major markets. For the year, value was the best performing investment style followed by lower volatility.
For the fiscal year, in developed equity markets, energy 9.1%, consumer staples 1.3% and industrials -0.4% were the best performing sectors while real estate -19.2%, communication services -16.6% and consumer discretionary -12.8% were the worst performers.
The Fund’s outperformance for the fiscal year was largely driven by its lower beta5 profile.
Martingale outperformed its benchmark, Russell 1000® Index, by 4.2%. In the US, lower volatility style of investing was in favor, which was a major tailwind for Martingale. Additionally, the strategy benefited from moderate tilt to value. Both asset allocation and security selection contributed positively. Underweight to consumer discretionary, overweight to defensive sectors such as consumer staples and health care as well as security selection in financials, industrials, information technology and consumer discretionary were the largest positive contributors.
Acadian lagged its benchmark, MSCI World ex USA IndexSM 6 by 0.4%. Outside of the US, low risk equities did not perform strongly. Acadian’s underperformance was driven by its lower risk positioning which was reflected in being overweight to defensive consumer staples companies and underweight to riskier consumer discretionary stocks. While security selection in health care and industrials detracted, security selection in telecommunications and materials contributed positively.

Ninety One outperformed its benchmark, MSCI World Index®, by 2.8%. Underweight to consumer discretionary and overweight to consumer staples as well as security selection in information technology and communication services were main positive contributors. Security selection in health care (positions in Roche), and underweight to energy were the largest detractors.
Veritas outperformed its benchmark, MSCI World Index®, by 1.9%. Security selection in industrials (largely from travel related and aerospace stocks such as Safran, Airbus, Aena) and information technology (payment systems companies such as Mastercard and Fiserv), as well as positions in cash were main positive contributors. Positions in health care, especially those that had benefited from COVID revenues, and communication services, including Alphabet with concerns that digital advertising revenues may fall, were main detractors.

Performance differences versus the benchmark are largely a result of cash flow effects related to daily subscription/redemption activity and through financing costs of futures relative to interest earned on cash.
Risk Considerations
The Fund invests in foreign and emerging market securities which involves certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity. Emerging markets may be more volatile and less liquid than more developed markets and therefore may involve greater risks. Investments made in small and mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid due to limited resources or product lines and more sensitive to economic factors. The Fund may invest in derivatives (such as futures, forwards, options, or swaps), which may cause the Fund to experience greater volatility and less liquidity. Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in market conditions and may amplify the risk of loss for the Fund.

1.
Organization
Mercer Funds (the “Trust”) consists of the following seven series: Mercer US Large Cap Equity Fund (“Large Cap”), Mercer US Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund (“Small/Mid Cap”), Mercer Non-US Core Equity Fund (“Non-US Core Equity”), Mercer Core Fixed Income Fund (“Core Fixed”), Mercer Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund (“Opportunistic Fixed”), Mercer Emerging Markets Equity Fund (“Emerging Markets”) and Mercer Global Low Volatility Equity Fund (“Global Low Volatility”) (each a “Fund,” and collectively referred to as the “Funds”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust established on March 11, 2005. The Trust is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Mercer Investments LLC (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser manages each Fund using a “manager of managers” approach by selecting one or more sub-advisers (each a “Sub-adviser,” and collectively referred to as the “Sub-advisers”) to manage each Fund's assets. The Funds are open-end investment companies and accordingly follow the open-end investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946: Financial Services — Investment Companies.
Under the 1940 Act, each Fund is classified as diversified.
The investment objectives of the Funds are:
Fund
Investment Objective
Large Cap
Long-term total return, which includes capital
appreciation and income
Small/Mid Cap
Long-term total return, comprised primarily of
capital appreciation
Non-US Core Equity
Long-term total return, which includes capital
appreciation and income
Core Fixed
Total return, consisting of both current income and
capital appreciation
Opportunistic Fixed
Long-term total return, which includes capital
appreciation and income
Emerging Markets
Long-term total return, which includes capital
appreciation and income
Global Low Volatility
Long-term total return, which includes capital
appreciation and income
Each Fund has registered and is authorized to offer interests in four classes of shares: Adviser Class, Class I, Class Y-2 and Class Y-3. The principal difference between the classes of shares is the level of shareholder service, marketing and administrative fees borne by the classes. As of March 31, 2023, Class Y-3 shares were outstanding in each of the Funds and Class I shares were outstanding in Non-US Core Equity and Core Fixed.
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following are significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(a) Security Valuation
Each Fund’s investments are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day when the NYSE is open. Portfolio securities and exchange-traded funds listed on an exchange normally are valued at the last sale or official closing price on the day on which the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price using prices as of the close of trading. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are generally valued on the exchange considered by the Adviser or the applicable Sub-adviser as the primary market for such securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price; other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price available prior to valuation (other than short-term investments, which are valued as described below). The Funds may invest in securities that are traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities will be converted into U.S. dollar equivalents based on the exchange rate in effect at a uniform time on each business day. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria that the Adviser, which has been designated as the Funds' Valuation Designee under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act by 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 Valuation Designee. 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 sixty (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 designated the Adviser as the Valuation Designee responsible for valuing portfolio securities, subject to continuing Board oversight. The Adviser has appointed a Valuation Committee that
211

Mercer Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2023
is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day process of valuing portfolio securities. With respect to portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or (in the opinion of the Adviser or the applicable Sub-adviser) do not otherwise accurately reflect the fair values of the securities, the Valuation Committee will value such securities at fair value based upon procedures approved by the Board. In that regard, at March 31, 2023, 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” or "TBA" commitments or when-issued securities approximate fair value and are determined using Level 2 inputs, as of March 31, 2023.  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 March 31, 2023. 
At March 31, 2023, Large Cap and Small/Mid Cap held long-term investments whose value was determined using Level 1 inputs, with corresponding major categories as shown in the Schedule of Investments, as well as the “Mutual Fund - Securities Lending Collateral” and the “Futures Contracts” sections whose values were determined using Level 1 inputs.

Netting Agreements and Collateral Requirements
In order to better define contractual rights under derivative contracts and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, a Sub-adviser may, on behalf of a Fund, enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”)
223

Mercer Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2023
or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with certain collateral held and/or posted and create a net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Absent an event of default by the counterparty or termination of the agreement, the ISDA Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across the transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. The right to offset and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the Fund's credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Fund under the applicable transactions, if any. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund's net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of their ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral held at broker or cash collateral due to broker, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by or received by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required, which is determined each day at the close of business of the Fund, typically based on changes in market values for each transaction under an ISDA Master Agreement and netted into one amount for such agreement and any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Fund on the next business day. Typically, the Fund and counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
The Funds are required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowings transactions that are eligible for offset or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. The Funds' derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by risk are presented in the tables above. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Only forward foreign currency contracts, OTC swaps and OTC options assets and liabilities are subject to master netting agreements. An exception to this, Opportunistic Fixed is not a party to an ISDA master agreement with Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
The following tables present the Funds' derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a Master Netting Agreement (“MNA”) and net of related collateral received by the Funds for assets or pledged by the Funds for liabilities as of March 31, 2023.

(b) Securities transactions and related investment income
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income, net of applicable withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date, if later. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, and is adjusted for amortization of premium and discounts for debt securities. Income is not recognized, nor are premium and discount amortized on securities for which collection is not expected. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest, and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the respective country's tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds determine the classification of distributions received as return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income on inflation indexed securities is accrued daily based upon an inflation-adjusted principal. Additionally, any increase in the principal or face amount of these securities is recorded as interest income. In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities is determined on the identified-cost basis.
(c) Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and bank balances as well as short-term investments with a maturity of less than three months from the acquisition date.
A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in short-term debt securities (including repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements) of corporations, the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and banks and finance companies, which may be denominated in any currency.
A Fund may invest a portion of its assets in shares issued by money market mutual funds. A Fund also may invest in collective investment vehicles that are managed by an unaffiliated investment manager, pending investment of the Fund’s assets in portfolio securities. When unusual market conditions warrant, a Fund may make substantial temporary defensive investments in cash equivalents, up to a maximum of 100% of the Fund's net assets. Cash equivalent holdings may be in any currency. When a Fund invests for temporary defensive purposes, such investments may affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
(d) Securities lending
A Fund may lend its portfolio securities to qualified broker/dealers and financial institutions pursuant to agreements, provided: (1) the loan is secured continuously by collateral marked to market daily and maintained in an amount at least equal to the current fair value of the securities loaned; (2) the Fund may call the loan at any time and receive the securities loaned; (3) the Fund will receive any interest or dividends paid on the loaned securities; and (4) the aggregate fair value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed 33 1/3% of the total assets of the Fund. Collateral will consist of U.S. and non-U.S. securities, cash equivalents or irrevocable letters of credit. A liability for cash collateral is reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As with other extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in collateral in the event of default or insolvency of a borrower of a Fund’s portfolio securities. A Fund may not retain voting rights on securities while they are on loan.
Certain Funds may from time to time participate in a securities lending program under which the Funds’ custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”), acting as securities lending agent, is authorized to lend the Funds' portfolio securities to qualified broker/dealers and financial institutions that post appropriate collateral. The Custodian has agreed to indemnify the Funds in case of default of any security borrower.

Securities on loan are fully collateralized and the collateral was equal to or exceeded the securities on loan at March 31, 2023. 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 Premier Class Shares of State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund. 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 March 31, 2023 were as follows:

(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 of one or more securities that are not currently held by a Fund. The protection “buyer” in a credit default swap agreement is generally obligated to pay the protection “seller” an upfront or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event, such as a default, on a reference obligation has occurred. If a credit event occurs, the seller generally must pay the buyer the “par value” (full notional value) of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity described in the swap, or the seller may be required to deliver the related net cash amount, if the swap is cash settled. A Fund may be either the buyer or seller in the transaction. If a Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund may recover nothing if the swap is held through its termination date. However, if a credit event occurs, the buyer generally may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity whose value may have significantly decreased. As a seller, a Fund generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
The spread of a credit default swap is the annual amount the protection buyer must pay the protection seller over the length of the contract, expressed as a percentage of the notional amount. When spreads rise, market perceived credit risk rises and when spreads fall, market perceived credit risk falls. Wider credit spreads and decreasing market values, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and an increased market perception that there is a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values, as well as the annual payment rates, serve as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk.
In a total return swap, the buyer receives a periodic return equal to the total return of a specified security, securities or index for a specified period of time. In return, the buyer pays the counterparty a fixed or variable stream of payments, typically based upon short-term interest rates, possibly plus or minus an agreed upon spread. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risk may also arise from the unanticipated movements in value of exchange rates, interest rates, securities, or the index.
Swaps do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, and are subject
229

Mercer Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2023
to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive.
The equity swaps in which a Fund may invest involve agreements with a counterparty. The return to the Fund on any equity swap contract will be the total return on the notional amount of the contract as if it were invested in the stocks comprising the contract index in exchange for an interest component based on the notional amount of the agreement. The Fund will only enter into an equity swap contract on a net basis, i.e., the two parties’ obligations are netted out, with the Fund paying or receiving, as the case may be, only the net amount of the payments. Payments under an equity swap contract may be made at the conclusion of the contract or periodically during its term.
Whether a Fund’s use of swaps or swap options will be successful in achieving the Fund’s investment objective will depend on the Sub-adviser’s ability to predict correctly whether certain types of investments are likely to produce greater returns than other investments. Moreover, a Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap contract in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap counterparty. The Funds will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness.
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 Derivatives Risk Manager for the Funds, 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 (7) days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid and subject to a Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. However, the Trust has adopted procedures pursuant to which the Adviser may determine that swaps (including swap options) are liquid under certain circumstances. To the extent that a swap is not liquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted in July 2010. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act sets forth a regulatory framework for certain OTC derivatives, such as swaps. The Dodd-Frank Act requires certain swap transactions to be executed on registered exchanges or through swap execution facilities, cleared through a regulated clearinghouse, and publicly reported. In addition, many market participants who were not previously required to register are regulated as swap dealers or major swap participants, and are, or will be, subject to certain minimum capital and margin requirements and business conduct standards.
Certain standardized swaps, including certain U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated interest rate and credit default index swaps, are subject to mandatory clearing, which interposes a central clearing house as the counterparty to each participant's swap, and exchange-trading. Additional swap asset classes are expected to be subject to mandatory clearing and exchange-trading in the future. The counterparty risk for cleared derivatives is generally considered to be lower than for uncleared derivatives, but cleared contracts are not risk-free. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Funds' ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.
230

Mercer Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2023
Central clearing and exchange trading is required by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) for many instruments traded in the swaps market. In addition, uncleared swaps that are subject to regulatory collateral requirements could adversely affect a Fund’s ability to enter into swaps in the OTC market. The establishment of a centralized exchange or market for cleared swap transactions may not result in swaps being easier to value or trade. However, swap dealers, major swap participants, and swap counterparties may experience other new and/or additional regulations, requirements, compliance burdens, and associated costs. The legislation and rules promulgated may exert a negative effect on a Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective, either through limits or requirements imposed on the Fund or its counterparties. Specifically, position limits imposed on a Fund or its counterparties may affect that Fund’s ability to invest in futures, options, and swaps in a manner consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies. The requirements prescribed by the Dodd-Frank Act may increase the cost of a Fund’s investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect the ability of the Funds to buy or sell derivatives.
In a cleared swap transaction, the Fund typically will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared derivative transaction. Cash margin is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral held at broker on open swap contracts. Swap agreements are marked to market daily. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a variation margin payable or receivable for the change in value as appropriate on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Only certain derivative transactions are currently eligible for clearing by clearinghouses.
A Fund will accrue for interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded as interest payable or receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap contracts, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap contracts on the Statements of Operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap contracts (swap contracts, at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities).
Swap agreements are marked to market daily. The change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments are included as part of realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations.
The swaps in which a Fund may engage may include instruments under which one party pays a single or periodic fixed amount(s) (or premium), and the other party pays periodic amounts based on the movement of a specified index. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of swaps is typically the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life to the extent that such amount is positive, plus the cost of entering into a similar transaction with another counterparty, if possible.
The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. Like most other investments, swaps are subject to the risk that the market value of the instrument will change in a way detrimental to a Fund’s interest. A Fund bears the risk that Sub-adviser will not accurately forecast future market trends or the values of assets, reference rates, indices, or other economic factors in establishing swap positions for the Fund. If a Sub-adviser attempts to use a swap as a hedge against, or as a substitute for, a portfolio investment, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that the swap will have or will develop imperfect or no correlation with the portfolio investment. This could cause substantial losses for the Fund. While hedging strategies involving swap instruments can reduce the risk of loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain or even result in losses by offsetting favorable price movements in
231

other Fund's investments. If the Sub-adviser is incorrect in its forecasts of market values, interest rates, and currency exchange rates, the investment performance of the Fund would be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique were not used.
During the year ended March 31, 2023, Opportunistic Fixed used swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposure or to manage interest fluctuation and credit exposure. See the Opportunistic Fixed Schedule of Investments for a listing of open swaps as of March 31, 2023.
(f) Futures
A futures contract is a contractual agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity or financial instrument at a predetermined price on a stipulated future date. A Fund may enter into contracts for the purchase or sale for future delivery of securities, indices and foreign currencies. Futures contracts may be opened to protect against the adverse effects of fluctuations in security prices, interest rates, or foreign exchange rates without actually buying or selling the securities or foreign currency. A Fund also may enter into futures contracts as a low cost method for gaining or reducing exposure to a particular currency or securities market without directly investing in those currencies or securities.
A purchase of a futures contract means the acquisition of a contractual right of a Fund to obtain delivery of the securities or foreign currency underlying the contract at a specified price on a specified future date. When a futures contract is sold, the Fund incurs a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency underlying the contract at a specified price on a specified date. 
When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it must deliver to the futures commission merchant selected by the Fund an amount referred to as “initial margin.” This amount is maintained by the futures commission merchant in a segregated account at the futures commission merchant. Thereafter, a “variation margin“ may be paid by the Fund to or drawn by the Fund from such account in accordance with controls set for such accounts, depending upon changes in the price of the underlying securities, or currencies, subject to the futures contracts, and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as a variation margin payable or receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund recognizes gains and losses on futures contracts in addition to the variation margin, which gains and losses are considered realized at the time the contracts expire or close. 
A Fund may enter into futures transactions on domestic exchanges and, to the extent such transactions have been approved by the CFTC for sale to customers in the United States, on foreign exchanges. In addition, a Fund may sell stock index futures in anticipation of, or during a market decline to attempt to offset the decrease in the market value of the Fund’s common stocks that might otherwise result, and the Fund may purchase such contracts in order to offset increases in the cost of common stocks that it intends to purchase. Unlike other futures contracts, a stock index futures contract specifies that no delivery of the actual stocks making up the index will take place. Instead, settlement in cash must occur upon the termination of the contract.
In entering into futures contracts and options on futures contracts, there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Funds. The counterparty for futures contracts and options on futures contracts traded in the United States and on most foreign futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of its members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some foreign exchanges), it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will be able to meet its obligations to the Funds.

While certain futures contracts provide for the delivery of securities, deliveries usually do not occur. Contracts are generally terminated by entering into offsetting transactions.
Where the futures market is not as developed or where the regulations prevent or make it disadvantageous to trade futures, Emerging Markets will utilize synthetic futures as part of the country selection strategy implementation. A synthetic future generally is an uncleared agreement resembling a total return swap transaction in which a Fund will commit to receive positive or negative returns on one or more specified equity index futures contracts in exchange for an agreed upon payment by the Fund to the counterparty. If the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the total return swap, the Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty. These are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statements of Operations.
During the year ended March 31, 2023, 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 March 31, 2023.
(g) Options
The Funds may purchase and sell (write) put and call options on debt securities, currencies and indices to enhance investment performance, manage duration, or protect against changes in market prices. The Funds may also buy and sell combinations of put and call options on the same underlying security, currency or index. Short (sold) options positions will generally be hedged by the Funds with cash, cash equivalents, current portfolio security holdings, or other options or futures positions. 
The Funds may enter into swap options (“swaptions”). A swaption is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation), in return for payment of a premium, to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel, or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, at some designated future time on specified terms. Each Fund may sell (write) and purchase put and call swaptions. Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund generally will incur a greater degree of risk when the Fund writes a swaption than the Fund will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, the Fund’s risk of loss is limited to the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the swaption expire unexercised. However, when a Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the option, the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement.
When a Fund writes a covered call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. The Fund receives a premium on the sale of a call option but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in stock value above the exercise price of the option, and when the Fund writes a put option, it is exposed to a decline in the price of the underlying security.
Whether an option which a Fund has written expires on its stipulated expiration date or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss, if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the cost basis of the lots sold are decreased by the premium originally received. When a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which a Fund purchases upon exercise of the

option. Realized gains (losses) on purchased options are included in net realized gain (loss) from investments.
A Fund's use of written options involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Fund's exposure to market risk. The risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instrument and the price of the underlying securities, currencies and interest rates.
During the year ended March 31, 2023, Opportunistic Fixed used options for tail risk hedging (i.e., hedging strategies designed to protect against large unexpected market movements) and to manage currency, interest rate, duration and volatility exposure. See the Fund's Schedule of Investments for the listing of options as of March 31, 2023.
(h) Forward foreign currency contracts
The Funds may purchase or sell currencies and/or engage in forward foreign currency transactions in order to expedite settlement of portfolio transactions and to manage currency risk.
Forward foreign currency contracts are traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades. The Funds will account for forward contracts by marking-to-market each day at current forward contract values. The change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time the contract was closed.
The Funds will only enter into forward contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of securities denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when a Fund enters into a non-cash settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund will maintain segregated assets in an amount equal to the contract’s full, notional value. When a Fund enters into a cash-settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund will maintain segregated assets in an amount equal to the net amount owed by the Fund. However, currency contracts with respect to identical currencies, with the same counterparty and same settlement date may be netted against each other and, in such cases, a Fund will maintain segregated assets in an amount equal to the net amount owed by the Fund, in accordance with the Trust’s Segregation and Offsetting Position Procedures. If the additional segregated assets placed in the segregated account decline, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund’s commitments with respect to such contract. The primary risks associated with forward foreign currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably.
During the year ended March 31, 2023, Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed used forward foreign currency contracts for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, efficient portfolio management, enhancing total returns, or as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset. Non-US Core Equity used forward foreign currency contracts to hedge, cross hedge or to actively manage the currency exposures in the Fund. See the Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed Schedules of Investments for a listing of open forward foreign currency contracts as of March 31, 2023.

(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 March 31, 2023.
(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
235

Mercer Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2023
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 March 31, 2023.
(l) Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities
The Funds may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities represent an interest in a pool of mortgages. Asset-backed securities are structured like mortgage-backed securities, but instead of mortgage loans or interests in mortgage loans, the underlying assets may include such items as motor vehicle installment sales or installment loan contracts, leases of various types of real and personal property, and receivables from credit card agreements. The value of some mortgage or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
One type of stripped mortgage-backed security has one class receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only, or “PO” class). Payments received for the IOs are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Because principal will not be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the cost basis of the security on a daily basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities. See the Schedule of Investments for mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities held by Core Fixed and Opportunistic Fixed as of March 31, 2023.
(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
236

Mercer Funds

may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the loan agreement. At March 31, 2023, Opportunistic Fixed had the following unfunded loan commitments:

(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.
The Funds utilize the provisions of the federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “RIC Modernization Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses, as applicable. Prior to the enactment of the RIC Modernization Act, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the RIC Modernization Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
On March 31, 2023, the following Funds had deferred capital losses available to be offset against future net capital gains through the indicated expiration dates as follows:

Non-US Core Equity
$70,946,522
Core Fixed
$89,708,127
Opportunistic Fixed
$93,462,345
Emerging Markets
$185,454,377
Under current tax rules, regulated investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. As of March 31, 2023, Small/Mid Cap has elected to defer current year post-October losses of $5,282,979.

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, futures contracts mark to market 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 adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. These differences primarily relate to swap income, gains and losses from passive foreign investment companies and other basis adjustments during the period ended March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2023, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Funds' federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended March 31, 2023 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
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.
During the years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the tax character of distributions (including capital gain dividends, if any, designated pursuant to Section 852 of the Code) paid, were as follows:

(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’ share classes have initial or contingent deferred sales charges on purchases of Fund shares, redemptions of Fund shares held less than thirty (30) days may be assessed a 2% short-term trading fee and recorded as paid-in capital.
3.
Credit agreement
The Trust has entered into a Credit Agreement on behalf of the Funds (the Credit Agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company in order to establish a committed, unsecured revolving line of credit. The current term of the line of credit under the Credit Agreement is through January 22, 2024. Borrowings for each Fund under the Credit 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 Credit 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 Credit Agreement during the year ended March 31, 2023.

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.

* Consists of the total advisory fee payable by the Funds to the Adviser. The Adviser is responsible for paying the subadvisory fees.
The Adviser has contractually agreed, until at least July 31, 2023, to waive any portion of its management fee that exceeds the aggregate amount of the sub-advisory fees that the Adviser is required to pay to a Fund's Sub-adviser. This contractual fee waiver agreement may only be changed or eliminated with the approval of the Fund's Board. The fees waived by the Adviser pursuant to this expense waiver agreement are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Adviser. The fees waived are shown in the Advisory fee waiver line in the Statements of Operations.
With respect to Large Cap, effective February 2, 2023, the Adviser has also contractually agreed, until at least July 31, 2024, to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses' inclusive of management fee waivers, to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses, based on fiscal year to date average net assets, exceed 0.90% for Adviser Class shares, 0.65% for Class I shares, 0.55% for Class Y-2 shares and 0.40% for Class Y-3 shares, excluding, as applicable, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, 12b-1 fees, non-12b-1 shareholder administrative services fees, brokerage expenses, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. This contractual fee waiver and reimbursement agreement cannot be eliminated prior to July 31, 2024 without the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The fees waived by the Adviser pursuant to this agreement are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Adviser. As of March 31, 2023, no fees have been waived by the Adviser pursuant to this supplemental expense waiver agreement for Large Cap. The dollar amount is located in Statement of Operations.
The Adviser provides certain internal administrative services to the Adviser Class, Class I and Class Y-2 shares of the Funds, for which the Adviser receives a fee of up to 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 March 31, 2023, only Non-US Core Equity and Core Fixed had Class I shares outstanding. As of March 31, 2023, there were no Adviser Class, Class I (except for Non-US Core Equity and Core Fixed as noted above) or Class Y-2 shares of any of the Funds outstanding and, as such, the Adviser did not receive any administrative services fees from those classes of those Funds for the period ended March 31, 2023.
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 March 31, 2023, and as a result, no 12b-1 fees were paid by any of the Funds for the period ended March 31, 2023.

Recent accounting pronouncements and regulatory updates
In October 2022, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made

available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective on January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.
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.
Novel Coronavirus Pandemic: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the responses of the U.S. government and various state, local and foreign governments adversely affected global business activities and resulted in significant uncertainty in the global economy and volatility in financial markets. Given the significant global health, market, employment and economic impacts of COVID-19 and the uncertainty of its duration, the Funds cannot reliably predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on financial markets or its financial results.
Geopolitical Risk: Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine beginning on February 24, 2022, and the responses by the United States and other countries, have resulted in increased volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and adversely affected regional and global economies. The United States and other countries have imposed broad-ranging economic sanctions on Russia, certain Russian individuals, banking entities and corporations, and Belarus, as a response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and may impose sanctions on other countries that provide military or economic support to Russia. The extent and duration of Russia’s military actions or future escalation of such hostilities, and the extent and impact of the resulting sanctions (including any retaliatory actions or countermeasures that may be taken by those subject to sanctions, including cyber-attacks) are impossible to predict, but could result in significant market disruptions, including in certain industries or sectors, such as the oil and natural gas markets, and may negatively affect global supply chains, inflation and global growth. These and any related events could have a significant impact on a Fund’s performance and the value of the Fund’s investments, even if the Fund does not have direct exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion.
LIBOR Transition Risk: The market is in the process of transitioning away from a commonly used interest rate, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The terms of many investments, financings or other transactions to which a Fund may be a party have been historically tied to LIBOR, which may be a significant factor in determining a Fund’s payment obligations under a derivative investment, the cost of financing to a Fund or an investment’s value or return to a Fund. Although many LIBOR rates were phased out at the end of 2021, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published until June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. The process of transitioning to a new rate might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based investments.
Banking System Volatility: The Funds maintain substantially all of their respective cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and multi-national financial institutions, and their respective deposits at certain of these institutions may exceed insured limits, where applicable. Recent volatility in the banking system (in particular, the closing of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, and the
245

Mercer Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2023
acquisition of Credit Suisse Group by UBS Group at the behest of Swiss regulators) may impact the viability of such banking and financial services institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where a Fund maintains its respective cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that such Fund would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access, or delay in accessing, these funds could adversely affect the business and financial position of the Funds. It is currently unclear what the ultimate effect of the situation will be on the banking sector, private equity industry, real estate market and global financial markets as a whole.
10.
Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through May 23, 2023 (i.e., the date the financial statements were issued) for possible adjustment to and/or additional disclosure in the Funds' financial statements. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require adjustment to and/or additional disclosure in the Funds' financial statements through this date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Mercer Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Mercer Funds (the “Funds”) comprising Mercer US Large Cap Equity Fund, Mercer US Small/Mid Cap Equity Fund, Mercer Non-US Core Equity Fund, Mercer Core Fixed Income Fund, Mercer Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund, Mercer Emerging Markets Equity Fund, and Mercer Global Low Volatility Equity Fund, including the schedules of investments as of March 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds constituting the Funds as of March 31, 2023, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of a New Subadvisory Agreement for the Period October 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023
Mercer Emerging Markets Equity Fund
At a meeting of the Board held on December 8, 2022 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including the trustees that are not considered “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (“Independent Trustees”), considered and approved a proposed new subadvisory agreement between the Advisor and Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (“Barrow Hanley” and such agreement, the “Barrow Hanley Subadvisory Agreement”) on behalf of the Mercer Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”). The Advisor recommended the appointment of Barrow Hanley to replace a subadvisor that previously managed an allocated portion of the Fund’s portfolio, and the Advisor also reallocated that portion of the Fund’s portfolio to Barrow Hanley in connection with such appointment. The changes described herein with respect to the changes in the subadvisory arrangements for the Fund are referred to as the “New Emerging Markets Equity Fund Subadvisor Structure.”
Approval of a New Subadvisory Agreement for the Fund with Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC
At the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved the Barrow Hanley Subadvisory Agreement. In considering the approval of the Barrow Hanley Subadvisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees considered the information and materials from the Advisor and Barrow Hanley that included, as to Barrow Hanley and the Fund: (i) the Barrow Hanley Subadvisory Agreement; (ii) information regarding the review and due diligence process by which the Advisor had selected and evaluated Barrow Hanley and recommended Barrow Hanley for Board approval, and the Advisor’s rationale for recommending that Barrow Hanley be appointed as a subadvisor to the Fund; (iii) information describing the nature, extent, and quality of the services that Barrow Hanley proposed to provide to the Fund; (iv) the investment management business, portfolio management personnel, operations, prior investment experience, and reputation of Barrow Hanley; (v) Barrow Hanley’s brokerage and trading policies and practices; (vi) the level of subadvisory fees to be charged by Barrow Hanley for its services to the Fund, and the fees charged by Barrow Hanley to other accounts that it manages; (vii) the Fund’s 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 Management Agreement with respect to the Fund that exceeds the aggregate amount of the subadvisory fees that the Advisor is required to pay to the Fund’s subadvisors for the management of their allocated portions of the Fund; (viii) a summary of the compliance program applicable to Barrow Hanley; (ix) information regarding the historical performance returns of Barrow Hanley in managing the investment mandate it would employ for the Fund, and a comparison of such performance to a relevant index; and (x) the financial condition of Barrow Hanley.
In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the presentations made by, and discussions with, representatives of the Advisor, and the Advisor’s favorable assessment of the nature, extent and quality of the subadvisory services expected to be provided to the Fund by Barrow Hanley. During their review of this information, the Independent Trustees considered and analyzed factors that the Independent Trustees deemed relevant with respect to Barrow Hanley, including: the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Barrow Hanley; Barrow Hanley’s management style and investment decision-making process; Barrow Hanley’s historical performance record managing the investment mandate it would employ for the Fund; the qualifications and experience of the members of Barrow Hanley’s portfolio management team; and Barrow Hanley’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 to the Fund, which includes extensive investment management and compliance due diligence with respect to the management and operations of each of the subadvisors.  Additionally, the
250

Mercer Funds
Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)
Independent Trustees received assistance and advice from their independent legal counsel regarding legal and industry standards in connection with their duties and responsibilities when approving investment advisory agreements.
In particular, and as to Barrow Hanley, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors:
(a)        The nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Barrow Hanley.  The Independent Trustees reviewed the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Barrow Hanley to the Fund.  The Independent Trustees considered the specific investment management process that Barrow Hanley would employ to manage its allocated portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio (which was described in detail in the materials provided by Barrow Hanley), the qualifications of Barrow Hanley’s portfolio managers and investment management personnel with regard to implementing the investment mandate relating to the allocated portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio that Barrow Hanley would be managing, and the performance record of Barrow Hanley as compared to a relevant index. The Independent Trustees also considered the Advisor’s review, selection, and due diligence process with respect to Barrow Hanley, and the Advisor’s favorable assessment and conclusion as to the nature, extent, and quality of the subadvisory services expected to be provided to the Fund by Barrow Hanley.  The Independent Trustees determined that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the quality and experience of Barrow Hanley’s portfolio managers and the qualifications of its investment professionals.  Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Independent Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the subadvisory services anticipated to be provided by Barrow Hanley, as well as Barrow Hanley’s ability to render such services based on Barrow Hanley’s experience, operations and resources, were appropriate for the Fund, in light of the Fund’s investment objective, and the mandate relating to the allocated portion of the Fund’s investment portfolio that Barrow Hanley would manage.
(b)       Comparison of the services to be rendered and fees to be paid to Barrow Hanley under other advisory and subadvisory contracts, such as those with other clients.  The Independent Trustees considered the services that would be rendered by Barrow Hanley and evaluated the compensation to be paid to Barrow Hanley for those services.  The Independent Trustees noted that the services that Barrow Hanley would furnish to the Fund appeared to be generally comparable to the services that Barrow Hanley currently provides to its other advisory and subadvisory clients having similar investment strategies. The Independent Trustees also considered comparisons of the fees to be paid to Barrow Hanley in light of the fees that were charged by Barrow Hanley to its other advisory clients having a similar investment strategy, as provided in its 15(c) Questionnaire responses.  The Independent Trustees also considered that the fees agreed to by Barrow Hanley were the result of an arm’s length bargain negotiated by unaffiliated parties and that the Advisor believes such fees are fair and reasonable. 
The Independent Trustees considered the review, selection, and due diligence process employed by the Advisor, as discussed at the Meeting, in determining to recommend Barrow Hanley to serve as a subadvisor to the Fund, and the Advisor’s reasons for concluding that the subadvisory fees to be paid by the Advisor to Barrow Hanley for its services to the Fund were fair and reasonable.  The Independent Trustees considered that the subadvisory fees of Barrow Hanley would indirectly be borne by the Fund and its shareholders.  The Independent Trustees further considered that, as a result of the appointment of Barrow Hanley, the Fund’s subadvisory fees would be reduced and that these cost savings would accrue to the Fund, given the Fee Waiver Agreement and the then-effective subadvisory fee levels. Based on their discussion, the Independent Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the services expected to be provided, the proposed level of fees to be paid to Barrow Hanley with respect to the assets of the Fund to be allocated to Barrow Hanley was supported by the services that were expected to be provided by Barrow Hanley to the Fund.  The Independent Trustees also considered the potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to

Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)
Barrow Hanley from its relationship with the Fund, such as the value derived in the marketplace from its association with the Advisor and the research or other services Barrow Hanley may receive from certain brokers in connection with the execution of the Fund’s brokerage transactions (subject to Barrow Hanley’s duty to seek best execution on behalf of its clients), and concluded that they were reasonable.
The Independent Trustees considered the expected impact of the fees to be paid to Barrow Hanley on the Fund’s overall operating expenses, given the Fee Waiver Agreement.  In addition, since the fees to be paid to Barrow Hanley were the result of arm’s-length bargaining between unaffiliated parties, the relevance of Barrow Hanley’s potential profitability was considered by the Independent Trustees in that context. The Independent Trustees also took note of the Advisor’s explanation that the recommended appointment of Barrow Hanley was not affected by the impact that the appointment would have on the Advisor’s revenues and profitability, and the Independent Trustees considered that the Advisor was not realizing a direct profit from the investment advisory services that it provides to the Fund as a result of the Fee Waiver Agreement.
Based on their consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Independent Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the services expected to be provided by Barrow Hanley and the proposed fees to be paid to Barrow Hanley by the Advisor for managing its allocated portion of the Fund, the potential benefits accruing to Barrow Hanley as a result of serving as a subadvisor to the Fund were reasonable in relation to the services that were expected to be provided by Barrow Hanley to the Fund.
(c)        Investment performance of the Fund and Barrow Hanley.  Because Barrow Hanley was a newly proposed subadvisor to the Fund, the Independent Trustees could not consider Barrow Hanley’s investment performance in managing the Fund as a factor in evaluating the Barrow Hanley Subadvisory Agreement.  However, the Independent Trustees reviewed Barrow Hanley’s historical performance record managing the investment mandate it would employ for the Fund as compared to a relevant index and concluded that Barrow Hanley’s historical performance record, viewed together with the other factors considered by the Independent Trustees, supported a decision to approve the Barrow Hanley Subadvisory Agreement.
Conclusion.  Following consideration of the foregoing factors, it was reported that no single factor was determinative to the Independent Trustees’ decisions.  Based on these factors, along with the determination of the Advisor at the conclusion of its review, selection, and due diligence process to recommend Barrow Hanley be appointed as a subadvisor to the Fund, and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Independent Trustees concluded that the proposed fee rate for Barrow Hanley was supported by the services that were expected to be provided to the Fund and approval of the Barrow Hanley Subadvisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. As a result, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Barrow Hanley Subadvisory Agreement.

Discussion of the Operation and Effectiveness of the Funds' Liquidity Risk Management Program
In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), the Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) which Mercer Investments LLC, the investment adviser to the Funds (the “Adviser”), believes is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Board has designated the Adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. The Adviser has established a Liquidity Risk Committee which is appointed to carry out day-to-day responsibilities under the Program. The Liquidity Risk Committee is comprised of representatives from various departments at the Adviser.
At a meeting of the Board held on April 4, 2023, the Adviser provided the Board with a written report addressing the Program’s operation, adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Review Period”). The report noted that the Adviser has concluded that the Program is reasonably designed and adequate to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, as such term is defined in the Liquidity Rule. In light of its experiences administering the Program during the Review Period, the Adviser has concluded that the Program has been implemented and operated effectively to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and further believes that the Program has been and continues to be adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and, as applicable, respond to the Funds’ liquidity developments. Additionally, the report noted that no material changes to the Program have occurred during the Review Period or are contemplated. The report also noted that the Liquidity Risk Committee believes that each Fund’s liquidity risk remains within appropriate parameters and that each Fund’s investment strategy is appropriate for an open-end mutual fund. The report further reflected that there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds’ ability to timely meet redemptions without significant dilution to existing shareholders.
The Liquidity Rule and the Program also require the Funds to classify each portfolio investment into one of four liquidity categories. The Adviser has engaged an independent third-party vendor, which includes the use of that vendor’s proprietary liquidity analytical tool, to assist the Funds in classifying portfolio investments, based on inputs and assumptions adopted by the Liquidity Risk Committee in its reasonable judgment. In classifying portfolio investments, the Liquidity Risk Committee takes into account relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations as well as the reasonably anticipated trade size of each portfolio investment.
The Liquidity Rule requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to adopt a minimum amount of net assets that must be invested in highly liquid investments that are assets (an “HLIM”). The Liquidity Rule also prohibits the acquisition of illiquid investments if doing so would result in a fund holding more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments that are assets. The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to determine, periodically review and comply with the HLIM requirement with respect to the Funds, as applicable, and to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments with respect to the Funds.

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 October 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023. 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.
