Hedge fund, fund of funds and managed futures fund managers of all sizes, structures, domiciles and strategies are the primary constituents of MFA membership. MFA has created three membership categories based on size and level of benefits.

Sustaining

Sustaining members are generally large fund managers (typically with at least $1bn AUM) who wish to be instrumental in helping MFA structure its goals and agenda. Sustaining members provide vision, opinion and consensus views that help MFA form policy on issues affecting the industry. Sustaining members have the opportunity to provide substantial impact on MFA initiatives through participation on a wide range of active committees and working groups.
