The chairman of industry fund AMIST, Kevin Cottrill has died.
AMIST chief executive, Murray Rutherford confirmed Cottrill’s passing today noting the contribution he had made to the fund over a number of years.
Cottrill had been an employer-nominated director of the fund for more than years and retired as chief executive of the Australian Mean Industry Council in September, this year.
He was formerly Managing Director and Company Secretary of MQF Pty Ltd and MQF (Queensland) Pty Ltd and Secretary of the MQF Pty Ltd Superannuation Fund.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
Big business has joined the chorus of opposition against the proposed Division 296 tax.
