Mission & Goals
The aim of BEAMA is to represent the ‘Asset Management’ profession, to develop the ‘Asset Management’ activities in Belgium and to improve the image of this association and its members, without jeopardizing the autonomy of its members. ‘Asset Management’ covers, among other things, the promotion, management, distribution and administrative processing of collective investment instruments as well as the institutional management, the management on behalf of private customers and investment advice. BEAMA can act proactively towards the Belgian public authorities and/or the European or supranational institutions, under those terms of reference. BEAMA will also follow up the preparations for the drafting of laws, regulations and decrees on Asset Management in Belgium, at the Belgian, European and international level.
