MLC’s Hogan to join SMSFA
MLC's Peter Hogan will make a move to the Self-Managed Super Fund Association (SMSFA) as its head of technical.
The industry veteran was MLC's national manager for SMSF advice for the past six years and will continue to strengthen the relationship between SMSFA and NAB/MLC.
"I leave behind a highly competent team of SMSF technical experts who are available to deliver SMSF training and answer adviser queries," Hogan said.
Hogan said he was excited and honoured to be appointed to his new role.
"I understand the important role that the association plays in both the SMSF sector and the broader superannuation industry as an advocate for professionalism and high educational standards, and I look forward to contributing in every way possible in my new role," he said.
"Having spent much of my professional career in superannuation and financial services, I want to use my experience and skills to the benefit of our members and the wider SMSF sector."
Hogan served as a SMSFA director between 2004 and 2013, including roles of chairman and vice chairman, and has previously worked at Plaza Financial, Colonial First State Investments, Macquarie Bank, and the Australian Taxation Office in key super, investment, and tax roles.
MLC is in the process of replacing Hogan's role.
