One response to “Keynes and the character required for a long-term view”

  1. Chris Condon

    Nice article Amanda.  You are correct in observing that ignoring peers and focusing on absolute member outcomes takes courage.  And it is hard to find anyone that would take a contrary view.  But these sentiments are rarely reflected in actual behaviour.  The more all of us think about why this is the case and act to influence the industry to change in this direction, the better.  Thanks you for showing this leadership.
