Q: What are your plans for keeping Mercury Capital Advisors on the forefront of technology innovation?
A: It is critical that technology innovation be accompanied by what we call a ground game. That is, staying close to our investors, as well as our funds, and to continue to understand how they are evolving, thus providing both new technology and innovative, unique products, accompanied by analytics, to meet their changing demands and growth. Mercury is aggressively pursuing that ground game in the US and in the third quarter of 2017 we will be pursuing that ground game on a global scale.
