It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
I'm confused. If the fees and charges are so in industry funds where does all this money come from to do $9,000,000 dollars worth of advertising. Assuming this figure is correct.
Surely it's not all from sponsors?
"Industry SuperFunds are run only to benefit members".
How is spending so much on advertising to the benefit of their members?
Imagine the outcry if a retail superannuation fund manager dipped into investors accounts to fund its advertising. The ISA advertising must surely reduce its members return.
So much for "not for profit"! They are obviously making a profit!
What a freaking joke. And the only objections come from posts made in forums like this.
In compare the Pair terms Banks are advertising predominately home/business loans. Thats thier cash cow. How can Industry Funds compare advertising of that type? Apples and Oranges to me!!
