AGEST chief executive Michael Seton has been named Fund Executive of the Year by the Fund Executive Association (FEAL).
Seton was acknowledged for his innovative approach to member services and his ability to manage the industry superannuation fund during the current market volatility.
"Michael has led AGEST through a major transformation from a small fund to a $3 billion fund with a sophisticated actively-managed strategy," AMP Capital Investors business director Brian Delaney said.
"This growth has been complemented by a tailor-made approach to meeting the specific needs of its members, many of whom are retired or close to retiring."
Seton will receive a $20,000 education grant to study at an overseas business school.
"Over my 25 years in the superannuation industry, I have had great support from my employers. I have also worked with many excellent people. I acknowledge them all in accepting this award," he said.
The award was sponsored by AMP Capital Investors. This year, FEAL celebrates its 10th anniversary.
