SMSF Association appoints new technical manager

“With significant reforms reshaping advice and retirement policy, I look forward to contributing to its mission of supporting members and advancing the SMSF sector through high-quality technical resources and guidance.”

The SMSF Association said Perri’s appointment would enhance its technical support capabilities at a time when the financial services and superannuation sector were undergoing sweeping reforms.

Previously, Perri worked at AMP for 30 years, most recently serving as its head of technical strategy, leading AMP’s TapIn technical team.

SMSF Association chief executive Peter Burgess welcomed the appointment.

 “Our members and the SMSF sector will benefit immensely from John’s extensive experience, technical knowledge, and background in adviser education," he said.

Perri’s first focus would be on supporting the delivery of the association’s ‘SMSF Specialised Advisor’ accreditation scheme, and contributing to technical content designed to assist members in meeting ongoing CPD obligations.

The SMSF Association said Perri’s appointment would enable it to meet growing demand for its accreditation programs and technical support services, and added that it was committed to investing in its technical support capability to deliver practical resources for its members.

“John’s appointment underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality, best-in-class technical support and strengthening our voice in key policy debates,” Burgess said.
