      "investment_philosophy": "Mercer's investment approach is governed by guiding principles across governance, risks and value — with investors' objectives at the core. Asset allocation is the most important factor influencing risk and return outcomes, and integrating financially material sustainability transition and socio-economic risks into investment decision-making can potentially enhance portfolio resilience. Strategic asset allocation serves as the primary driver of value creation, and active management can be employed when the expected return benefits justify the associated risks and fees.",
      "responsible_investment_approach": "Mercer applies a Sustainable Investment Policy incorporating four techniques: ESG integration, stewardship (engagement and proxy voting), exclusions (rules-based screens covering controversial weapons, tobacco, Russian assets, and additional responsible/sustainable criteria for labelled funds), and investment in sustainability themes. Funds labelled 'Responsible' have additional exclusions criteria applied and are certified by the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia (RIAA).",
      "derivatives_policy": "Funds (including underlying managers) may use derivatives to protect against unfavourable price changes, enhance returns as a cost-effective alternative to purchasing physical assets, implement fund investment objectives, and manage currency exposure. Derivatives related to each asset class are permitted provided the total market value exposure remains within permitted asset allocation ranges.",
      "rebalancing_policy": "Mercer rebalances fund asset allocations to maintain actual allocations sufficiently close to the Target Asset Allocation and within SIPO-permitted ranges. If the minimum or maximum asset allocation is exceeded, Mercer must re-weight the fund within the permitted ranges within 5 business days of becoming aware, and must report to the Supervisor if reweighting does not occur within this timeframe. Quarterly reports to the Supervisor are required on each fund's adherence to permitted asset allocation.",
      "currency_hedging_policy": "Mercer considers currency hedging an essential part of any long-term investment strategy and believes an active approach is appropriate for some funds subject to Dynamic Asset Allocation. Benchmark hedging levels are set per overseas asset class; where permitted, the Dynamic Asset Allocation process establishes the target level of currency exposure, monitored via Mercer's daily cash flow model.",
      "liquidity_policy": "Mercer's policy is to ensure all funds can meet obligations including member withdrawals, fees and expenses, taxation payments and rebalancing requirements. Liquidity is maintained through suitable levels of liquid assets (cash and listed securities) redeemable within 30 days in normal conditions without materially moving the price. Daily liquidity monitoring, liquidity stress testing and a range of response tools are maintained."

The aim of short-selling is to sell an asset at a high price and buy the asset back at a later time, at a lower price. Consequently, the potential loss to the Fund may be greater than for traditional purchase and sale transactions, as the potential increase in price of the asset sold (and hence the potential loss) is unlimited."
