The Investment Association is a British trade association that represents the investment management industry in the United Kingdom.[1]

As of 2016, there were over 250 corporate members.

History

[edit]

The Association of Unit Trust and Investment Funds (AUTIF) was established in 1959. In 1993 it merged with the Fund Managers Association to form the Investment Management Association (IMA).

In 2015, the trade body was renamed "The Investment Association", following the merger between the IMA and the Investment Affairs division of the Association of British Insurers.[2]
