The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) has today published its European Quarterly Statistical Release for the third quarter of 2025.
Today, EFAMA has published its latest Monthly Statistical Release for September 2025.
Yesterday, the European Commission released its proposal to adjust the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which addresses several persistent challenges and represents an important step towards a more coherent, effective and user-friendly EU sustainable finance framework.
Today, the European Commission unveiled its package on supplementary pensions, focusing on closing the pensions gap and enhancing retirement adequacy for Europe’s citizens. This initiative is a key component of the Savings and Investments Union, reflecting the European Commission's firm commitment to helping individuals build financial security for their retirement.
As we gather at the close of this Forum, one thing is clear: the conversations we have had over these two days are not just about today’s challenges—they are about shaping the future of European capital markets.
It has been a privilege to share these two days with such an engaged and insightful group. Thank you for your active participation and the energy you brought to every discussion.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
It is a great pleasure, and a true privilege, to welcome you to the 31st edition of the EFAMA Investment Management Forum, my first as President.
EFAMA firmly supports the European Commission’s proposal to revise the European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) Regulation. The revised framework has the potential to transform ELTIF into a product of choice for European investors and to become a cornerstone of the Capital Markets Union.
We welcome yesterday's vote by the European Parliament plenary formally adopting two ‘quick fixes’ for PRIIPs (Packaged retail investments and insurance-based products) and UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities).
EFAMA welcomes this opportunity to comment on the review of the provisions within the Short Selling Regulation. We have limited our responses to those questions of most relevance to our membership.
As the European Union’s financial system has become more complex, it has also opened the door to new risks of money laundering and terrorist financing. EFAMA supports the new regulatory package proposed by the Commission on 20 July 2021, believing this initiative will make strides in ensuring that no loopholes or weak links in the internal market allow criminals to use the EU to launder the proceeds of their illicit activities.

EFAMA shared its views on the EBA’s Draft Guidelines on policies and procedures in relation to compliance management and the role and responsibilities of the AML/CFT Compliance Officer under Article 8 and Chapter VI of Directive (EU) 2015/849 (the ‘Draft Guidelines’).
Ever since the term “shadow banking” has emerged from the FSB’s working circles in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis[1], our association has consistently argued that its use as a reference to regulated asset management companies and their funds is inaccurate and mis-leading.
