Committee Members
Medical Defence Union
annual remuneration of £5,000 per annum
The Medical Defence Union (MDU) is a mutual, not-for-profit organisation. Since 1885 we have provided professional indemnity to doctors, dentists, and other healthcare professionals. We also offer our members guidance and support for the wide range of medico-legal & dento-legal issues they can encounter while caring for patients. The MDU is led and staffed by doctors and dentists with first-hand experience of the challenges our members face. We are the market leader for medical defence in the UK, with over 200,000 members across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
THE ROLE
The IAF’s membership comprises the MDUIL CFO and Investment Officer and three external expert members. With two external expert members already in place, and an inaugural meeting of the new Forum now planned for late October, we are now seeking our third.
The role naturally requires someone with deep experience as a senior investment professional (ideally in a Chief Investment Officer or a senior strategist role at another highly credible asset-owning institution) or someone who has worked in a significant advisory business. You will offer a current understanding of investment practices in a changing global context, including market trends and implementation of investment strategy.
Wherever you are now, you will be trusted for the quality of your counsel and will bring an unblemished personal track record of supporting and, when necessary, constructively challenging thinking on all aspects of fund investment. We are looking for someone who is available and can offer the personal flexibility needed to attend two main meetings annually, contributing through any additional meetings or discussion that might be required throughout the year on pertinent issues.
