Welcome to the Australian Stockbrokers Foundation Website
Since its inception the ASF has raised approximately $5.5 million dollars from the stockbroking community, to distribute to the homeless, the mistreated, the intellectually challenged, the physically handicapped, the sick and the poor inhabitants of Sydney, who, often through no fault of their own, struggle to achieve the things we take for granted. There is an emphasis towards assisting childrens' causes, and especially where we can make a difference.

The ASF co-ordinates two annual functions. Towards the end of each financial year the Stockbrokers Awards Charity dinner is held, when six hundred people from stockbroking houses and investment banks open their hearts (and their wallets) for those less fortunate than themselves, and to acknowledge the achievements of the past year. This is the largest annual gathering of financial services practitioners, and is the highlight of the stockbrokers' year.

The second event is the Bulls & Bears Golf Challenge, where fund managers challenge stockbrokers and investment bankers in a 4-ball Ambrose teams event for the right to retain a prestigious trophy. It takes place one afternoon late each March at a Sydney golf course, and culminates in a dinner, presentation for various achievements, and a charity auction. The concept found it roots in the late 1980's, when an annual charity picnic day was held for families of both sides of the investment industry, with the proceeds being donated to the Camperdown Childrens Hospital.

This website allows us to acknowledge the myriad of companies that partner us in raising money for charity, and link directly to many of their websites. We encourage you to reflect your appreciation of their support, and patronise their goods and services whenever you can, The website also links to the charities we assist, which you can also support directly. It connects with industry bodies that participate in our fund raising efforts, and it also features past events, including award winners.

Please feel free to participate in these events. We welcome new supporters, sponsors, participants and helpers for our activities. Contact details can be found on the "Contact Us" page.
