Peter Crump and Andrew Hamilton have joined the SPAA Board
The Self-Managed Super Fund Professionals’ Association of Australia (SPAA) has today announced the appointments of Peter Crump and Andrew Hamilton to the SPAA Board.
SPAA Chief Executive Andrea Slattery said the appointments will enhance the high level of technical expertise and industry experience on the SPAA board at an important time for the SMSF sector following the Cooper Review.
“SPAA represents advisers to the $390 billion SMSF sector and stands for high standards of professional competence and integrity. The addition of Peter Crump and Andrew Hamilton to the SPAA Board will provide valuable input to SPAA policy efforts which will benefit both members and the SMSF industry,” said Andrea Slattery, SPAA CEO.
Peter Crump is an Executive Director at Portfolio Planning Solutions where he is responsible for providing financial planning advice to SMSFs. He is an actuary, financial adviser and consultant who presents regularly at industry conferences and is often quoted in the financial press.
“Peter Crump is highly regarded in the SMSF sector for his wide experience across actuarial, financial planning and technical areas of SMSFs, which allows him to view the sector from different perspectives,” Ms Slattery said.
Andrew Hamilton is the Managing Director of Cavendish Superannuation, Australia’s largest SMSF administrator. He is experienced across product design, software development, training programs and technical issues. His support for the SMSF industry stems from a belief that trustees, administrators, advisers and auditors should work more cohesively to advance the sector.
“Andrew Hamilton is well known in the SMSF sector and is always looking for ways to enhance the industry’s reputation through improved education. His insights will be welcome in this period of change for the superannuation industry,” she said.
The new appointments replace Stephen Bourke, who left last year and Peter Burgess who stepped down from his role on the Board to take up a full time role as SPAA’s Technical Director.
