Goals / Remit
The UK investment management industry plays a major role in the economy, helping millions of individuals and families achieve their life goals by helping grow their investments (mainly through workplace pensions). In fact, 75% of UK households use an investment manager’s services (knowingly or unknowingly). The industry also invests billions of pounds in companies and the financing of transport networks, hospitals, schools and housing projects. The industry supports 115,000 jobs in the UK, including over 14,000 in Scotland. It’s the largest industry of its kind in Europe, and the second largest in the world, after America.
Our members range from small, independent UK investment firms to Europe-wide and global players. Collectively, they manage over £10 trillion of assets on behalf of their clients in the UK and around the world. We act as their voice and represent their interests to policymakers and regulators, (...)Main EU files targeted
All dossiers relating to investment management, whether via funds (e.g. UCITS) or for institutions such as insurers and pension schemes, and covering related matters including tax, accounting and disclosure and investor protection as it relates to these and all other investment products. Equally, we track developments such as MiFIR, touching on the wholesale markets that investment management makes accessible to customers, together with related issues such as operations and prevention of market abuse. In addition, The IA follows EU work on risk and risk management, including the systemic risks posed by institutions such as CCPs (clearing houses) as well as banks.
Although strictly not an EU “initiative”, we have decided to include our work in relation to “Brexit” also.Address

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
