Commenting on the event, Chairman of the Isle of Man Fund Association and Chief Executive Officer of Abacus Financial Services Group, Mr Paul Kneen, said: “The Open Evening was an occasion to celebrate and highlight the invaluable work of the Isle of Man Funds Association and its members, as we continue our ongoing efforts to promote the Isle of Man as an international business centre and a reputable and effective fund jurisdiction. The Association is keen to attract new members who may be interested in benefitting in opportunities to be involved in off island promotion, influence the development of the local industry and its regulation, and to participate in CPD events that are organised for members and to network with local contacts.  I would also like to thank The Socially Responsible Investment Fund PCC plc for their support of this event.”
