Some notes on the EFAMA web-site
Purpose of this Site
EFAMA has created the EFAMA Web Site as part
of its efforts to improve public awareness and understanding of
the investment funds industry and the policy issues that affect
it.
The EFAMA Web Site also provides as an on-going
interactive process other basic information about the investment
funds industry in Europe. The site’s perceived target audience is
very varied, ranging from individuals seeking a better understanding
of investment funds, to public authorities at national and European
level as well as professionals from within the industry. The aim
is to provide in a single area a wide selection of investment funds’
oriented information such as European legislation and regulation,
aggregate statistical data, a cross-section of relevant (internal
and external) research material, studies and reports from private
and public bodies as well as educational pages.

Compatibility
This site needs the following minimum requirements to be properly
displayed:
- 6.xx and upper browser versions
- 1024*768 screen resolution
- 65536 colours
- Acrobat Reader™ plug-in or application
- Microsoft Office™ compatible reader or application
Document Formats
As our material contains many graphics, most of the documents on this site
are stored as .pdf files (Portable Document Format). This format supports design-intensive
documents independent of the computer platform. Acrobat Reader™ (4.0 or
higher) is required to view these files. It can be downloaded free of charge
from Adobe's
website. Although .pdf files are typically larger than .html files (the
web's default format), you may find the images, graphs, illustrations, colours,
fonts and other features well worth the longer download times. We have "optimised"
these files for printing. Acrobat 4.0 Reader™ or higher is needed to view
optimised .pdf files. Once you have downloaded a document the first time, it
is "cached" in your system and will load faster thereafter. To determine how
long a document will take to download, we recommend the File
Download Time Calculator.
When viewing .pdf files, use the page icons on the toolbar to size
the page within your screen. Use the magnifying glass icons to zoom
in or pull back from the page. The hand icon allows you to move
the page onscreen. You can move from page to page by using the arrow
icons or the thumbnail pages in the left margin. Unlike .html files,
where links are colour-coded, links in .pdf files can be identified
by a change in the cursor: the hand icon becomes a pointing finger.
Please note that the onscreen electronic page numbers generated
by the Acrobat reader do not necessarily correspond to the publication's
printed page numbers.
