Leading consultant William M. Mercer is teaming up with multi-manager firm Attica Asset Management to offer a one-stop investment service to its smaller institutional clients.

The service, called Mercer 360, will seek to combine Mercer's skills in providing strategic and professional advice with Attica's ability to put together multi-manager packages suitable for pension fund use. It seeks to build on the recommendations of the Myners report that pension fund trustees should make investment decisions on an informed basis.
