The Role of FEIFA

 

FEIFA was established following discussions between a number of like-minded and highly experienced advisers and owners of IFA businesses, all of whom felt that there was a distinct need for such an association - particularly in the global environment that has resulted from the economic meltdown that began to unfold in 2007.

 
The Federation looks to attract similar individuals and companies in order to combine their expertise and experiences for the advantage of the whole Membership. FEIFA exists for the benefit of its Members and consumers, and aims to provide a strong voice for the IFA community across Europe and beyond; representing the sector with financial institutions, governments and regulatory bodies.
 
The Federation is not available to all companies in the IFA sector. By only admitting Members after a rigorous vetting and due diligence procedure, FEIFA provides consumers with an independent assessment of the regulatory and legal status of its Member companies.
