TESTIMONIALS

What former participants and practicioners think about this programme

The CSSF congratulates ILA for putting in place the Fund Governance Masterclass. The various modules of this 2-week programme are all very appropriate and timely. Non-Executive and Independent Directors are key to ensuring good governance, so we welcome this programme for Directors of investment funds and investment fund managers.
Marco Zwick, Director of the CSSF
The Fund Governance Masterclass is a must for every fund director and conducting officer. I have been in the fund industry for more than 20 years and was previously a conducting officer at a super ManCo, now acting as an independent non-executive director. This comprehensive course was a unique opportunity for in-depth thinking and exchange among fellow directors, professionals, and trainers, as well as a refresher on the broad spectrum of obligations of Fund/ManCo boards. The wide diversity and high quality of the trainers, their presentations and case studies, as well as the perfect organisation by the ILA team, make it an unforgettable experience. So go for it and don’t hesitate to actively participate, ask questions, and share ideas to enrich the whole experience!
Mireille Kiffer, Non-Executive Director, Masterclass facilitator & former participant
As an experienced INED, I’m always looking for training/certification that will provide new insights, a forward-looking perspective, and experience sharing. This Fund Masterclass answers all criteria, but on top, allows a 360 view on all the dos and don’ts in many, if not all, topics a Fund director should be aware of. Furthermore, the trainer's high-level, in-depth knowledge, interactive sessions, and a variety of case studies made it very interesting. I can only recommend attending it.
Eric Chinchon, ILA Certified Director, Founding Partner of MEBS & former participant
