MFS sets big target
Queensland-based financial services group MFS has announced it is targeting at least $10 billion of fee paying assets under management by June 30 next year despite recent equity market volatility.
In an announcement on the Australian Stock Exchange today, the company said its record result for 2006-07 had been due to growth in the company’s assets under management, which had increased by more than 75 per cent to $5.26 billion.
While the company outlined a number of initiatives relating to its tourism-related business, it also expressed a commitment to grow its funds management business over the next two to three years.
MFS chief executive Michael King said the company was confident about the next two years and saw far more opportunities than challenges.
