Service providers are important participants in the alternative investment industry, and their support is critical to the growth and success of the industry. This category includes businesses that provide brokerage, legal, accounting, administration, trade execution, clearing and settlement, compliance, technology, consulting, marketing, recruitment and more. MFA has created four membership categories to suit each service provider based on its size and the level of benefits it seeks.

Sustaining

Sustaining members are generally firms with a large number of employees dedicated full-time to serving the needs of the alternative investment community and commit significant intellectual and financial capital in order to help MFA pursue its initiatives. Sustaining members have the opportunity to provide substantial impact on MFA initiatives through participation on a wide range of active committees and working groups, and often have first opportunities to speak at MFA events.
