Andrew Gregory
CHIEF ADVICE OFFICER
UNISUPER
UNISUPER
After 25 years, Andrew Gregory remains motivated by the impact financial advice can have on Australians' lives. As UniSuper's chief advice officer, he is not slowing down on any of his current ambitions. Matthew Wai writes.







So-called remediation, based on formula-driven 'objective' audits set down for auditors with no regard for the necessary subjectivity of advice (and service) provided by the Advisers!
In fact, an attempt to divert attention away from the banks' corporate sins by blackening the characters and reputations of honest to goodness advisers, many of whom were quasi-employees of the banks, caring for the financial well-being of the banks' customers.
And many of whom have been financially ruined in consequence.
And, of course, who has paid for the 'remediations'? Not the banks' executives! No, the shareholders.
So much for executive responsibility!
