Advisory Counsil

On 1 June 2009, FINANCIAL ASSETS EXECUTIVE SEARCH established an advisory council. The council will advise the Financial Assets management board on the further expansion and strengthening of the agency and will assist the board in making strategic decisions about the agency’s future course. FINANCIAL ASSETS regards the establishment of the advisory council as an important step towards further professionalization going forward. Given the council members’ specialist knowledge and experience, we expect them to make a very valuable contribution.
