Ripoll joins SMSF Association board



Former Gillard Labor Government parliamentary secretary during the time of the Future of Financial Advice (FoFA) implementation, Bernie Ripoll has joined the board of the SMSF Association.
The SMSF Association announced today that Ripoll, who is already a member of the Association’s public policy committee, would replace Cath Mulcare who is stepping down after being a director since June, 2015.
The chair of the SMSF Association, Dr Deborah Ralston confirmed the appointment following the organisation’s board meeting and foreshadowed that there would be additional board appointments made soon following a call for expressions of interest from members.
Commenting on Ripoll’s appointment, Ralston said she believed his knowledge and insights from the boarder advice and superannuation sectors had made a valuable contribution to the Association’s discussions.
