Mission & Goals
The Federal Association of Investment Firms (bwf) was founded in September 2003 on the initiative of the previous Federal Associations of Securities Brokers / Financial Intermediaries on the one hand and of Securities Trading Firms on the other. Since January 2004, it has continued the business of the previous Federal Associations. The purpose of the association is to represent and promote the common professional interests of its members. bwf represents the interests of investment firms in the context of upcoming national, European and global regulatory, legislative and subordinate regulatory projects in the field of financial services and capital market law. In this context, bwf seeks an ongoing dialogue with the legislative bodies, the supervisory authorities, other banking and financial associations and the interested public.
