TISA increases technical capability
TISA has appointed Jeffrey Mushens to the newly created position of technical director as part of the Association’s planned expansion to provide greater industry support across a wide range of technical and regulatory areas.
Jeffrey has more than 30 years experience across the industry and particularly in collectives. He held a variety of senior positions with M&G becoming a main board director and a member of the executive committee.
A qualified chartered accountant, Jeffrey Mushens has been chief accountant at two merchant banks. He also has many years experience in dealing with government, regulators and government departments, including the Treasury and Inland Revenue and the European Commission. He was a member of IMA and of the tax and regulation committees of the IMA, IFMA and the European unit trust association, FEFSI.
Tony Vine-Lott, director general of TISA says:
“I am particularly pleased that Jeffrey has joined us, his extensive investment knowledge and experience of regulators and government agencies will be an invaluable asset to our members.
“Changes in regulation in the UK and from Europe and America mean there is a huge demand for the insight that TISA is acknowledged for providing. Jeffrey’s appointment is the first part of our programme to grow our technical and regulatory resource.
“This will now enable us to provide an enhanced service to TISA members and to build on our role of considering technical, regulatory and operational issues in order to develop industry best practice, as we are currently doing with re-registration and distributor funds.”
In his role as technical director Jeffrey Mushens will be responsible for the provision and dissemination of TISA’s technical policy, information and advice, the management of projects and he will be the primary technical interface with government and regulators.
