Polish chamber of fund and asset managers IZFiA (Izba Zarzadzajacych Funduszami i Aktywami) has just joined EFAMA, the Brussels-based trade body representing the European investment management industry.

In a statement today (10 January), EFAMA said this addition gives it 29 national associations, on top of 54 corporate members.

Joining EFAMA is not only a prestigious acknowledgment for our Chamber but also an opportunity for active participation on the international stage.

"Through membership in this renowned organization, we will have the chance to collaborate and exchange experiences with industry leaders from other European countries. It is a unique opportunity to build stronger relationships, develop joint initiatives, and support innovative solutions for our clients and the entire capital market sector.”

Tanguy van de Werve, director general at EFAMA, said: “We are truly delighted to welcome IZFiA as our latest member association. Their deep knowledge of the Polish fund and asset management sector will prove very valuable to our work as we strive towards achieving a Capital Markets Union for Europe.

"Having as a member the industry body of the EU’s 6th largest economy will further increase our representativity and political clout in Brussels and beyond, to all our members’ benefit.”
