The IOOF Holdings Limited (ASX: IFL) share price could react as it announced some management news.
IOOF Holdings is a diversified financials business that offers a variety of services to clients including financial advice, platform management & administration, investment management and trustee services. IOOF has been operating since 1846 and is now one of the largest financial services industry businesses.
What Has IOOF Announced?
New CEO
The large financial services business has announced who the new chief executive officer (CEO) will be. Acting CEO Renato Mota has been revealed as the man for the CEO job effective immediately.
Why did he get the job? Well, IOOF Chairman Allan Griffiths commented, “The robustness of our succession plan enabled us to appoint Renato to the role of Acting CEO in December 2018. Since then, Renato has created a clear direction for our business and our people, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to restoring trust through setting higher expectations.”
Mr Renato will be tasked with continuing the change program he has already been doing, to re-shape the company and adapt the culture to the new wealth management environment.
One of the first things he’s doing is reviewing IOOF’s senior management to ensure they’re culturally aligned and matches the higher ambitions and expectations.
Non-Executive Director Appointment
IOOF has appointed Mr Andrew Bloore as a new independent non-executive director. He has been a independent non-executive director at a number of IOOF’s subsidiaries.
The company has been under the spotlight due to dealings with the regulator Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and IOOF will be hoping these moves will be the start of winning back trust.
IOOF said that it is continuing its Board renewal processes and wants to appoint another non-executive director in the near future. IOOF APRA regulated entity Board will remain majority independent of the IOOF Board.
I think the financial advice landscape has changed too much for me to be comfortable investing in IOOF today. I’d much rather invest in the reliable shares in the FREE REPORT below.
