New Investment Research Tool from Aon Hewitt Provides Innovative Means to Evaluate Asset Managers
New Solution Provides Fast, Insightful and Transparent Ratings of Thousands of Investment Products using eVestment Data and Analytics Solutions

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. – Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), today announced the launch of a new investment manager assessment and monitoring tool that enables the manager research team of Aon Hewitt’s investment consulting business to accurately and efficiently monitor, evaluate and rate more than 11,000 investment products across regions and investment strategies. Applying data and analytics from eVestment, a leading technology firm serving the global institutional investment community, Aon Hewitt follows the progress of managers based on numerous factors, including items related to business, staff, investment process, risk management, performance and fees.

“As the active investment management industry has grown and become more competitive, proactively identifying investment manager skill has become even more critical, and our approach to manager research helps our clients stay ahead of these developments,” said Mike Sebastian partner and head of the Global Investment Committee at Aon Hewitt. “This new tool complements our existing process and strengthens our ability to advise clients on the entire universe of available investments products in any geography, no matter the asset class. The scope of data now available to us means we can provide this information to our clients at a moment’s notice in a way that’s highly transparent.”

Managers are able to populate data via eVestment free of charge, which allows them to gain access to the largest distribution channel to the global institutional investment community.  

“When we founded eVestment in 2000, we intended to build a database that would become the de facto standard for the entire industry, offering unprecedented depth, functionality and ease of use,” explained Heath Wilson co-founder of eVestment. “Aon Hewitt has been a valued client for over a decade. We’re excited to expand our relationship with Aon Hewitt globally to bring eVestment’s powerful data and analytics to Aon Hewitt’s manager research teams.”

The new investment manager assessment and monitoring tool is available to all Aon Hewitt investment consulting clients.
