Vale Tony Fenning
Outsider and the entire Money Management team offers condolences to the family and friends of Tony Fenning who passed away this month after a long illness.
Tony was, of course, a former chief executive of Shadforth Financial Group, the former managing director and chief executive of the consequent SFG Group and more recently a non-executive director of Class Super.
Outsider knows that Tony was seen off in style by some of his long-standing friends in the industry this month, including Count Financial founder, Barry Lambert and industry veterans John Godfrey and Rob Coombe.
Hardly surprisingly, conversation at the wake turned to events before the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry and Outsider understands that many of the assembled veterans were pleased to be out of the fray.
Outsider wonders what someone with Fenning’s legal and financial background would have made of the Royal Commission testimony.
