Do you know your Trustees?
This month we would like to introduce you to David Abramowitz and Medwyn du Bois. The full list of Trustees is available on My scheme > People behind the Scheme.
David Abramowitz – member-elected Trustee (Gauteng)
BCom (Wits), BCom Hons (Wits), CA(SA), FCMA, CGMA (CIMA)
David, one of our newer board members, is a Principal in the Corporate Finance Team at Anglo American and has worked in that position for the last ten years. He is an Alternate Trustee on the Anglo American Corporation Retirement Fund. In 2015, he was elected by members as a Trustee of AMS and he also serves on the Scheme’s Investment Committee. With his strong financial background, David adds significant expertise to the discussion and debate.
Medwyn du Bois – employer-appointed Trustee (KwaZulu-Natal)
Medwyn is one of the Scheme’s longest standing Trustees, serving as an employer-appointed Trustee for most of the time since 1992. He played an instrumental role in steering the Scheme to the solid position it enjoys today. Medwyn was the chairman of the Management Committee and vice-chairman of the Scheme from 2009 to 2015 and currently also serves on the Scheme’s Management and Investment Committees. Medwyn served the medical schemes industry as a director of the Board of Health Care Funders (BHF) for several years. Although now retired from full-time employment, he has retained his keen interest in the broader medical scheme and retirement fund industry.
