Fund Executives Association Ltd (FEAL) has partnered with Melbourne Business School to offer a new post-graduate qualification specifically designed for executives in the superannuation and financial services industry – and a scholarship covering part of the qualification is available to one fund executive.
Led by academics from the School’s MBA program, the course offers participants a Graduate Certificate in Management and Graduate Diploma in Organisational Leadership. Commencing in April, the program covers modules such as: Financial management; Marketing; Branding; Leadership; Business strategy and; Negotiation. Each five-day module will be delivered at intervals of four to five months to enable participants to meet the demands of work and study. Each module can be credited toward an MBA and other Masters’ program at Melbourne Business School. The program is open to fund executives and trustees with 25 per cent of seats available to other industry participants. With the support of AMP Capital Investors, FEAL is offering a scholarship for one fund executive to undertake the first two program modules covering Foundations in Finance and Building Superannuation Brands.

Our leading grocery retailers claim that the dividends they pay contribute directly to the retirement incomes of millions of Australians. But that doesn't mean they have free reign to dupe consumers through illusory discounts, which is what they're accused of doing by the ACCC, and it seems engagement by asset owners with Woolworths and Coles may not be adequately addressing the elephant in the aisle.
