The Chief Executive of the Stockbrokers and Investment Advisers Association (SIAA), Judith Fox, will retire at the end of 2025 once a replacement is appointed.
SIAA Chair and Director, Morgans Financial, Mr Hamish Dee today announced that Ms Fox had advised him that she had decided to retire after six years in the role.
Mr Dee said Ms Fox had provided outstanding leadership and has ensured that SIAA has played a pivotal role in addressing the policy and regulatory changes that have occurred during her tenure.
“Judith has been a passionate advocate for the stockbroking and wealth management sector, leading vital industry discussions and representing the interests of our members with professionalism and dedication. She is held in the highest esteem by the SIAA Board of Directors, the members, staff and the many stakeholders with whom she engages”.
“On behalf of the membership and Board of SIAA, I would like to thank Judith for her tireless dedication to our industry and profession and recognise the significant impact she has had,” Mr Dee said.
“She has been instrumental in lifting the profile and increasing the influence of our industry and profession. She has driven capability uplift across the sector through sector-wide collaboration, innovation, thought leadership and professional development.”
Ms Fox said the role had been enormously professionally and personally satisfying. “Leading the team at SIAA and serving our members through a tumultuous period has been a privilege and a joy”.
“With an outstanding team I am proud to have strengthened the voice of our members as well as peer engagement, improved financial sustainability, and delivered key advocacy outcomes. There is more to be done and my decision was not taken lightly. Ultimately my view is there is a point where organisations need renewed CEO leadership and this should occur when performance is strong”.

Judith remains deeply committed to the ongoing success of SIAA. The SIAA Board of Directors will initiate a comprehensive search for a new CEO, ensuring a seamless transition of leadership given Judith’s retirement at the end of 2025.
