This year’s top 10 stories included a peek into AustralianSuper’s international equities build out in London, AMP’s move to slash employee benefits, and plenty of hard-hitting analysis of the issues that matter in institutional investment. But the real story is how readers helped shape all of that coverage.
Orbis’ Stuart Place is riding from Melbourne to the Moon and Back to fund a treatment for the “monster of a disease” that his youngest son was born with. The investment industry is rallying behind him.
In person: the 2021 Chant West Awards
Chant West’s 2021 Super Fund Awards will be held, live and in person, at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney on the evening of May 26, it was announced last week.
The Chant West Awards, an important black-tie event in the institutional investment world’s annual calendar, were held virtually last year, along with most other industry conferences and other regular events and presentations.
It will be held this year just a week after the CMSF conference, in Adelaide, May 18-19, which was to take place in that city last year but had to pivot due to the impact of the pandemic. CMSF retained all its bookings for this year to maintain its commitments to Adelaide.
Chant West is now a part of the Zenith group, which will hold its awards for the retail and wholesale funds management sectors later in the year.
In last week’s notice, Chant West said: “Join us as we celebrate the hard work and resilience of the super sector after continuing to deliver for its members during an exceptionally challenging time. This year, we’re looking forward to celebrating with you and your colleagues after a year that delivered very few opportunities to gather as an industry.”
The major sponsor for the awards, as in previous years, is AIA Australia, a major group insurer to big super funds. Investor Strategy News will, once again, provide the media partnership. This title’s sister publication, Inside Adviser, will also provide the media partnership for the Zenith awards.
Details on how to purchase Chant West Awards tickets will be available in coming weeks.
