The Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association (PIMFA) is the trade association for firms that provide investment management and financial advice to individuals, families, charities, pension funds, trusts and companies. We lead the debate on policy and regulatory recommendations to ensure that the UK remains a global centre of excellence in the wealth management, investment advice and financial planning arena. Our mission is to create an optimal operating environment so that our member firms can focus on delivering the best service to their clients, and provide responsible stewardship for their long-term savings and investments. Operating for over 28 years, the association was renamed as PIMFA in 2017 following the merger between APFA and the WMA.
