Announcement following GFIA’s Annual General Meeting 2022
The Gibraltar Funds and Investments Association (GFIA) held its Annual General Meeting at Hassans in-person and via Zoom on the 5th July 2022.
The Chairman, Jay Gomez, opened with a welcome to all attendees and highlighted areas in which GFIA had focused their attention and in particular the achievements over the last 12 months. Emphasis was placed on the need to continue marketing and pushing Gibraltar as a jurisdiction for the domiciliation of funds. The Chairman thanked the critical support of Minister Isola and James Tipping and the broader team at Gibraltar Finance. He also thanked the GFSC, and specifically thanked Kerry Blight and Julian Sacarello for their time and dedication to work with us.
Mr. Gomez also thanked all the Executive Committee for supporting him in the last two years as Chairman, James Lasry in his role as Deputy Chairman and the Executive Coordinators. The Chairman also thanked the members whose continued support is key to GFIA’s successes.
Following this Benjy Cuby provided a report on behalf of the Administrator’s Committee, and Allan Sené provided a report on behalf of the Training Committee. A summary of the Treasurer’s report and a presentation of audited financial statements was then presented by our Treasurer, Faith Howe.
