The Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (ASISA) has appointed two additional directors to its Board with immediate effect.
The appointment of Derrick Msibi, MD of Investment Solutions, and Herman Steyn, Executive Chairman of Prescient Investment Management, brings to 17 the number of ASISA Board members.
Leon Campher, CEO of ASISA, says while 14 members of the Board are the heads of the companies that had been mandated by the previous four associations to work towards forming a new unified association, Msibi and Steyn are the first elected Board members.
He explains that a member can only be represented on the ASISA Board by the company’s most senior representative. Campher says the aim is to ensure that high level strategic thinking shapes the future of the financial services industry.
The current ASISA Board now comprises the following directors:

Campher says two additional members have also been appointed to this committee. They are Dr Anwah Nagia, Chairman of Frater Asset Management, and Willie Lategan, Chief Executive of ABSA Financial Services. These new members will serve on the committee together with the following existing members:
