CEO Sally Loane is leaving the FSC after seven years. In this video message, Sally reflects on her great team and members, and some of the FSC’s collaborative achievements during her time at the helm of our policy and advocacy organisation.

Through the FSC Women in Investment Management Charter we are providing industry leadership to ensure more women can secure careers in investment management teams.

The White Paper findings aims to reduce the regulatory burden on financial advisers – by removing the safe harbour steps and simplifying documentation, disclosure and definitions, the cost of advice can drop by almost $2,000 per client. 

The FSC was proud to launch the FSC Women in Investment Management Charter (WIM Charter) at a recent joint event with Mercer, which delivered solutions to improve gender diversity in investment management. As part of the WIM Charter launch, we surveyed our domestic and global fund manager members on gender diversity in their investment teams, focusing on roles that are actively involved in an investment function or that have an investment execution role, such as portfolio managers, investment research roles or traders, for example.
