First Management Forum Success

Members who attended the first of the ADAVB Moneywise Management Forums at Rydges Riverwalk Hotel last night left buzzing with ideas and issues on which they will be taking follow up action.

Albert Gigl from Moneywise Partners provided a number of tips and insights into tax structures and strategies, and urged those who had service trusts to consider alternative arrangements.

Chris Riordon from Riordon and Riordon Lawyers, outlined a number of compelling reasons for members to use discretionary trusts (not service trusts) in preference to a company or sole operator approach.

This forum session was the first in an ongoing series, and the next is scheduled for 6.00 pm on Tuesday 12 September at the same venue ($35 for ADAVB members and staff or $55 for non-members). Presenters at that program will include Dan Payne, Chairman of Moneywise, on "Investment strategies -what works, what doesn't?' and Richard Crabb, Victorian State Manager of Medfin Finance, on 'Benefits of leasing your equipment'.
