Carmel Fisher to step down

Carmel Fisher
Monday 31st of October 2016

She directed queries to a video statement released via the Fisher Funds website.

“I know this news is going to come as a surprise to many and that’s why I wanted to give everyone a heads up so I can explain my thinking.

“Fisher Funds is my baby - always has been and always will be but after a career of 20 years I’ve decided it’s time for me to step back from a full-time executive role.  What I’m trying to achieve is what I think a lot of working people want to achieve and that is work-life balance. I want to maintain an involvement, interest and commitment to Fisher Funds but also have some time for myself and my family and to pursue some philanthropic interests.”

Fisher said she would retire some time next year to focus on her family and philanthropic interests. She said there was no particular prompt for the decision now and she would not move if she could not find a great successor. “But I do think the timing is right for the business and myself.”
