Life and fund managers unite
A new non-profit professional association set to launch this week reflects convergence between the life insurance and fund management sectors.
The former Australian Life Agency Management Association (ALAMA), aimed at "promoting ethical standards and ideals" in the life industry has been expanded to include fund management professionals.
The new group, known as The Australian Investment And Insurance Managers Association (TAIAIMA), kicked off this week with its inaugural meeting at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Interim secretary Robert Bonifacio says TAIAIMA has been formed "to assist in the personal development of managers and to keep them abreast of market developments."
