1. Can you tell me some of the priorities and plans for the year ahead?
I just recently took over as president of the Association of Independent Asset Managers after having been one of the founding members ever since inception and been on the committee since. My previous function was the treasurer for the past five years and I am very excited to take over from Steve. Before Steve was Antonia. It's not that we have to reinvent the wheel. What I really want to achieve in the next one to two years is to motivate some of our peers in the industry to join the Association Committee, because it is a very exciting place to be. You are at the pulse of what's happening with the various firms; we have a fantastic knowledge, fantastic people within our committee and all in all it's just a very, very positive experience we have there. And it is work for sure, but I think as a member of the committee, you can definitely profit and I would love to have this shared among more people than those, roughly about 10 we've had in the past seven years that were in functions within the committee, so we are looking at replacing the committee member's bit by bit to allow new fresh blood to bring in their expertise, their knowledge, their enthusiasm and if I can achieve that within the next two years of the presidency, I'll be a very happy man.
2. Would you like to see more members joining the association?
Clearly, I would want to have more members join us. Not because this is non-profit. It is not for us to benefit from having more members other than it is more people that share their knowledge, that share their experience, that network and exchange information. So ideally, for the AIAM, the members should grow a little more on the ordinary member side where there is firm such ourselves because I had mentioned that in one of our previous discussions, this organization, this get-together of asset managers formed the AIAM by members for members. So, this is very much for our members to profit from each other, from the organisation, from the focus, and from combined strength and forces.
