MFA-PAC

Managed Funds Association Political Action Committee, known as MFA-PAC, is an indispensable tool for raising the visibility of the hedge fund industry with political leaders in Washington.

MFA works diligently to grow the industry’s political action committee because a robust PAC gives MFA the opportunity to support elected officials who understand the industry and the role it plays in our capital markets. Without a well-funded PAC, MFA will not have the tools it needs to be the most effective advocate for its members.

The goal of MFA-PAC is to contribute in a nonpartisan way to candidates who support the hedge fund industry’s views on key issues. Generally, this means MFA-PAC will support candidates who serve on the key congressional committees that focus on issues related to the hedge fund industry, such as the U.S. Senate Banking, Finance and Agriculture Committees and the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services, Ways and Means and Agriculture Committees.
