    The Dutch Investors’ Association (VEB) has been an independent organisation since 1924. The VEB is an active organisation with a broad-based membership which defends the interests of the (individual) investor in the public debate, but also in connection with financial product providers, listed companies and supervising authorities. The VEB also is the most important source of independent information about investments in the Netherlands.

    The VEB unites Dutch investors with the objective of achieving an optimum return by representing their interests, combining strengths, providing and exchanging information and promoting honest and efficient financial markets
