The ASA is an independent, not-for-profit, member-funded organisation that has grown to be the major autonomous body representing Australian retail investors. ASA also helps its members improve their investment knowledge through its educational offerings.
Standing up for shareholders.
Let's face facts; the global financial market is a huge entity that has a number of diverse derivatives, assets and niches. Not only is the financial market a vast and constantly evolving entity, but it is also a confusing one that requires traders to develop tremendous levels of knowledge, insight and determinism if they are to be successful.
Deborah Thomas, the high-profile boss of Dreamworld's parent company, Ardent Leisure, has made an early exit from the business, but will pocket in excess of 7$700,000.
Her tenure is raising even more eyebrows, given she'll now act as a consultant to Ardent during the coronial inquest, earnings $3,000 a day.In 2017, the ASA Board held a hybrid AGM to allow the participation of members from around the country as well as those able to physically attend on the day.
ASA is a longstanding champion of the AGM as the forum where boards are required to front shareholders and give them the opportunity to ask questions. It is a key aspect of good corporate governance. A hybrid AGM allows both shareholders in the room and those far distant to hear from directors, ask questions, and vote. It provides participation by all shareholders, not just some.
