Membership FAQ

The questions prospective members actually ask us.

Membership should make sense for your business. These are some of the questions firms may want answered before joining.

Who can become a member?

Membership is open to organisations working in or alongside European asset management, including asset managers, asset owners, pension funds, investment consultants and trade associations. Membership is held at organisation level, giving teams access to shared insight, peer learning, Communities, events and practical resources.

What do member firms receive?

Member firms gain access to exclusive research and insights, Cognitive Diversity tools, member Communities, cross company and cross country peer learning, events and practical guidance. These resources are designed to help organisations move from intention to action and embed inclusion into business practice.

How is IiFE different from consultancy support?

IiFE is not a consultancy. We do not provide one off advice to firms in isolation. Instead, we create a cross company platform where members can access research, share learning, collaborate with peers and contribute to practical progress across the wider European asset management industry.

We are already part of Inclusion in Finance UK. What would joining IiFE add?

IiFE complements, rather than duplicates, Inclusion in Finance UK. IiFE focuses on the specific needs, challenges and opportunities of the European asset management industry, including cross country peer learning, European research and insight, local market differences, regulatory context and collaboration across multiple financial centres.

We already participate in other inclusion initiatives. What is different about IiFE?

IiFE does not replace existing initiatives. It connects and strengthens them through a pan European, asset management focused platform that brings together research, practical tools, peer learning, Communities and cross company collaboration across several areas of inclusion.

Is IiFE only for HR, talent or inclusion professionals?

No. IiFE's work connects inclusion and Cognitive Diversity to issues that matter across the business, including leadership, talent, culture, challenge and decision making. Different colleagues can engage depending on the topic and programme.

How does inclusion connect to the day to day business of asset management?

For asset management organisations, inclusion is closely connected to governance, decision making, talent, innovation, client trust and long term performance. Creating the conditions for different perspectives to be heard can help teams challenge assumptions, understand risk, identify opportunity and build stronger teams.

Is IiFE mainly about compliance?

No. IiFE focuses on helping organisations build inclusion and Cognitive Diversity into how they lead, develop talent and make decisions, with the aim of supporting stronger performance and better client outcomes.

How can our organisation enquire about membership?

Use the IiFE contact form or email info@inclusioninfinanceeurope.com. A member of the team will follow up to discuss the most relevant membership or partnership route for your organisation.
