Big WA fund introduces financial planning
Big Western Australian public sector superannuation fund GESB has introduced a financial planning service for its members, to be headed by former Mercer Human Resources Consulting executive Michael Heffernan.
GESB chief executive Michele Dolin said more than 90 per cent of members had indicated they would like to see financial advisory services offered by the fund and, as a member-driven organisation, GESB was pleased to be able to meet the request.
The GESB financial planning offering will be made available on a fee for service basis.
