The Investment Association represents UK investment managers. Our members manage more than £5.5 trillion for clients around the world. Put simply, our aim is to make investment better. Better for clients, so they achieve their financial goals. Better for companies, so they get the capital they need to grow. And better for the economy, so that everyone prospers.

Our purpose is to ensure investment managers are in the best possible position to:

• Build people’s resilience to financial adversity
• Help people achieve their financial aspirations
• Enable people to maintain a decent standard of living as they grow older
• Contribute to economic growth through the efficient allocation of capital.

We cover every link in the investment chain:

• We work with investors, helping them to understand the industry and the options available to them.
• We know investing can seem daunting, so we work hard to make it clear and accessible.
• We work with investment managers, promoting high standards and the need to put clients first. Our work includes helping members to manage money efficiently and communicate effectively.
• We work with the companies we invest in, helping them to achieve better long-term results and, ultimately, greater returns for investors and the economy.
• We work with regulators and governments around the world. We’ve built close, trusting relationships with these bodies and play an active role in shaping the rules that govern the industry.
• We work with the media, making sure we’re always part of the debate. No one is better placed to talk about what the industry is doing and why.

Ultimately, clients depend on our members for their financial wellbeing. We take that responsibility very seriously and strive to support them to achieve the best returns possible.

 
The Law Society exists to represent, promote and support all solicitors so they can help their clients. The Society also works to ensure no one is above the law and to protect everyone’s right to have access to justice.
As the independent, representative body, the Law Society is the official voice of the profession. From lobbying parliament and campaigning for justice, to delivering training and promoting solicitors to the public, the Society represents, promotes and supports solicitors across England and Wales.
We offer support, advice and guidance on areas of policy, practice and management, and also represent the profession by campaigning on legal issues important to solicitors and the public.
We support our diverse membership by tailoring products and services to their specific needs, helping them to develop their careers and businesses in a changing legal landscape.
