The Dutch Fund and Asset Management Association

The Dutch Fund and Asset Management Association promotes the collective interests of asset managers operating on and from the Dutch market – both Dutch and foreign parties. Central to this the promotion of an optimal business climate for asset managers in the Netherlands. A level playing field for free supply of investment products and asset management services within the European Union and a broadening of the market for investment products are the main starting points.

Introduction

The business climate for asset managers changes rapidly. It is difficult for individual asset managers to keep up with the many changes, but these developments are a substantial influence on the conduct of their business operations. To unite forces, DUFAS was founded. DUFAS has the objective of promoting the collective interests of asset managers which are active in the Netherlands, by preparing for developments in the business climate of the very important financial sector. DUFAS does this both on the national and the international level. On the European level this is also done  through the European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) in Brussels.
