Johannesburg - The Institute of Retirement Funds Africa (Irfa) has appointed Steven van Schanke as its new CEO.

He completed his articles at KPMG and qualified as a chartered accountant in 2001.

He then relocated to the UK for five years and gained experience in a number of finance-related ventures before returning to SA in 2006 to set up his own business.

"I am motivated by ensuring that the new or amended legislation does not adversely affect members' rights and ultimately their future retirement income," said Van Schanke.

"At the same time I am driven to continuously promote transformation and equality within the sector as a whole, and the implementation of appropriate legislation to achieve that vision."

He said finding an equitable balance between these two aspects, so that there is benefit all-round, is both a challenge and an opportunity.

A key event on the annual retirement fund calendar is the Irfa conference, hosting more than 1 200 delegates.

"It promises to be bigger and better than ever before, with well-informed speakers and cutting edge topics of discussion," said Van Schanke.
