PIS has BIG plans for the future

By Amy Corderoy

Professional Investment Services (PIS) is sponsoring Bond University’s student investment club as part of a wider push to support the education of future advisers, it announced today.

PIS chief executive Robbie Bennetts said the company was always keen to invest in the future.

He said that PIS put in place an education strategy, which included hiring an education manager, more than 18 months ago.

The Bond University Club, Bond Investment Group (BIG), received donations from PIS and funds to help the team to participate in the most recent Global Management Challenge, PIS said.

“When we met the team from BIG it was pretty clear they had a passion for investing and for learning all they could about the art of investing,” Bennetts said.

Bennetts said that PIS, which is based in the Gold Coast, is always looking for worthy local causes to back.

“We have a relationship with Griffith University, which has a Gold Coast Campus,” he said.

PIS said that it has also sponsored a financial planning conference held by Griffith University and has a group of students involved in the university’s bachelor of commerce professional year strand.

“Our research shows that hiring a graduate has the potential to bring a financial gain of about $64,000 conservatively to a practice, not adding the potential to develop succession planning strategies within a practice,” Bennetts said.
