Equity Trustees has restructured its granting program to direct more than $10m of annual discretionary charitable giving into five key areas.

Independent trustee companies are in a unique position to provide both a systemic protection against financial elder abuse, as well as having the ability to channel philanthropic funds into programs to address the broader issue, according to Mick O’Brien, Managing Director of leading Australian trustee company, Equity Trustees.

EQT Holdings Limited (EQT) today announced the appointment of Mr D Glenn Sedgwick as an Independent,
Non-Executive Director of EQT effective 8 August 2016.  

Avoiding real or perceived conflicts of interest between managers of funds and unitholders is critical to maintaining the integrity of Australia’s wealth management industry. The appointment of independent responsible entities in that framework is an obvious solution to protect investors’ interests.

The first client to sign on to the new Attribution Managed Investment Trusts (AMITs) regime has wasted no time in grasping the opportunity the new regime presents; greater product flexibility coupled with a more competitive position for the fund to compete internationally, and far greater access to Asian markets.
