About MFA
We are the voice of the global alternative investment industry. As the authoritative voice of the industry and premier platform for networking and training, MFA delivers value across all functional areas of member firms.
Managed Funds Association (MFA) represents the global alternative investment industry and its investors by advocating for sound industry practices and public policies that foster efficient, transparent, and fair capital markets.
MFA, based in Washington, DC, is an advocacy, education, and communications organization established to enable hedge fund and managed futures firms in the alternative investment industry to participate in public policy discourse, share best practices and learn from peers, and communicate the industry’s contributions to the global economy.
MFA members help pension plans, university endowments, charitable organizations, qualified individuals and other institutional investors to diversify their investments, manage risk, and generate attractive returns over time.
MFA has cultivated a global membership and actively engages with regulators and policymakers in Asia, Europe, the Americas, Australia and all other regions where MFA members are market participants.
Membership
Members regularly tell us that being part of MFA’s network has helped them reduce operational expense, manage regulatory and tax risk, and even attract assets. The network, resources and access MFA provides its members are best-in-class.
MFA helps us to save valuable dollars and hours that we would otherwise be spending on legal and outside counsel work. Using the peer-to-peer network we are able to anticipate business issues and solve a lot of those problems at the MFA committee level.
