Celebrating our prizewinners
Meet an IOB Future of Finance Award winner: Jack Lee MUFG
The Funds by IOB team are proud to join the celebrations for IOB’s 125th anniversary. While IOB might have been established in 1898 to help those working in the banking industry, supporting the funds industry is now a core element of our goal, purpose and vision.
We hope you enjoy this edition. If you have any feedback or would like to see anything included in future editions please let us know.
Best wishes
Margaret D’Arcy
Director Financial Services, Funds and Wealth Planning Education
We look back on the highlights of the 2022-2023 academic year, which saw the launch of new programmes and a host of great online masterclasses, events and webinars with academic experts and industry leaders.
Martina Kelly caught up with Noel Gavin to chat about his career journey, his work with Northern Trust and what he would be doing if he didn’t work in the funds industry.
We have exciting new masterclasses and events planned for the coming year. Learn more about our upcoming events.
