BVI

BVI, the German Investment Funds Association, serves as the central representative body for the nation's investment management industry. It acts as a competence center, influencing regulatory frameworks and market conditions for its members. The association formulates positions on key industry issues like sustainability, financial data, and digitalization, directly shaping policy and industry standards.

The association originated from a recognized need for a unified voice within the fund industry. This emerged from an increasingly complex financial regulatory environment, necessitating a consolidated advocacy approach. Its establishment reflects a collective industry effort to protect and advance asset managers' and investment funds' interests before policymakers.

BVI’s primary stakeholders are its member fund companies and asset managers, alongside millions of households and institutional investors served. The organization actively engages with political entities, supervisory bodies, and international institutions. Its vision promotes sound regulation, competitive conditions, and reinforces Germany's prominence as a global investment hub.
