Initiatives

Our key purpose is to make investment better for savers and investors, for companies and their employees, and for the economy. That way, everyone prospers. Our initiatives highlight issues our members care about or are trying to change in the world around us.

Sometimes, they also shine a light on industry issues that need addressing – for example, increasing diversity and promoting inclusion. Or improving standards and industry best practice, or celebrating the investment industry’s achievements.

We work hard to identify topics of industry interest, or topics which research shows will help the investment industry – and, above all, the clients and customers it serves – to thrive. To that end, we’re continually asking our members for their views and, where necessary, taking action. If we think something needs to change, we do something about it.
