The filing sets out his credentials — ACCA-qualified, more than ten years in capital markets, managing director of TMF South Africa and TMF Mauritius, and audit committee experience at companies with ring-fenced asset-backed debt listed on South African stock exchanges. It carries no economic information about any of the issuer's funds.","plain_english":"The company that issues the 1nvest exchange-traded funds has a new independent board member, and he also joins the committee that oversees the audit. He replaces a director who died earlier in October.
