Michael Coote, the much-travelled national investment director for Money
Managers, is stepping down from the job.
He has spent the last six years regularly criss-crossing the country
presenting as many as three investment seminars a day for Money Managers.
"After living out of
a suitcase and presenting more than 2,500 seminars it's time to move on,"
he says.
"Michael has been instrumental in building a high profile for Money Managers
and is one of the most well-respected investment commentators in New
Zealand," Money Managers managing director Doug Somers-Edgar says. "An acknowledgement of the high regard
Michael is held in would be the number of people who return to his seminars
when he's back in their town. The combination of our industry-leading
products and services with Michael's highly-regarded investment knowledge
and presentation skills have proved to be a great combination."
Coote leaves Money Managers in mid-June. Advertising has already
commenced for his replacement. Some seminars planned for late June may have
to be postponed.
