Trustee Focus Committee Information
The primary objective of the IRF trustee committee would be to organize a forum suitable to address trustees’ professional needs and to eliminate substantive problems germane to trustees.
In keeping with the IRF’s adopted strategy, to restore the representative role of trustees within the IRF’s structures, as well as within the retirement fund industry, the IRF has established the trustee committee. The IRF has created the necessary environment to encourage the active participation of trustees within its structures, and to create a platform that enables the voice of trustees, to be heard within the retirement industry.
The Trustee
Trustees frequently face unique and numerous challenges in the execution of their duties. These challenges range from extensive legal responsibilities and management and control of retirement funds. This is exacerbated by frequent changes taking place within the industry and INSUFFICICIENT LEVELS OF EXPERTISE AMONGST trustees.
In light of this the importance of a forum promoting the interests of trustees cannot be over-emphasized.
This Committee works together with other IRF existing committees in focusing on topics such as the Social Security and Retirement Reform, Education and Skilling of Trustees, Governance and other relevant topics, identifying trustee needs and engaging with relevant stakeholders on how trustees can be assisted in dealing with their trustee duties and the challenges they face in the management of those funds. The committee is at its inception stages, and work is under way to invite new members to participate in the activities of the committee. There are also a number of programmes lined up, that would be announced by the IRF in due course, aiming to reach out to trustees. Measures are being explored on how different forms including electronic, media and seminars can be used to reach out to trustees and ultimately members of retirement funds.
The motto of this committee is : IMPACT, EMPOWERMENT ,DIFFERENCE & CHANGE.
