PwC Award
NICSA Committee MVP Awards
NICSA Lifetime Achievement Award
The Robert L. Gould Award was established in 1987 by the Board of Directors of NICSA in memory of a leader whose death at 54 years of age deprived the mutual fund industry of an unusually creative, innovative, and dynamic executive. Mr. Gould made a significant contribution to the financial services industry through the development of systems, methods, and procedures to better serve shareholders. At the time of his death, he was president of DST Systems in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Robert L. Gould Award recognizes outstanding achievement by an individual who has helped the mutual fund industry better serve its investors by improving the quality of customer service, providing thought leadership in the areas of regulation and compliance or reducing shareholder expenses through implementation of technology and back office streamlining. It is supported through the contributions of DST Systems, Inc.
