Investment & Capital Markets

Investment & Capital Markets is one of the main policy areas around which the IA’s industry work is organised. Our team’s key tasks are to:

Assist IA members as investors and users of capital markets to the benefit of their clients;
Facilitate and support our members’ ability to invest in a diverse range of asset classes – including Equity, Derivatives, Fixed Income, FX, Infrastructure and Private Markets;
Engage on matters directly affecting the practice of dealing/trading for investment management firms, including market structures and their relationship with other market participants, such as banks, exchanges, settlement agents, clearing houses, other vendors and agents;
Assist our members as investors in specific instruments via IA Special Committees;
Represent industry on ETFs through education and necessary regulatory engagement;
Assist industry with embracing Sustainability as one of the defining features of investing and the wider role investment managers play in a sustainable world;

Our work is varied, often changing, but always reflecting market sentiment, the broader macro-economic environment and most importantly, our members’ investment and capital markets priorities.
