Our purpose is to champion and support the success of the UK-based financial and related professional services ecosystem, and thereby our members.
The industry we represent is a national asset, contributing 12% of the UK’s total economic output and employing over 2.4 million people, with two thirds of these jobs outside London across the country’s regions and nations. The industry plays an important role in enabling the transition to net zero and driving economic growth across the wider economy through its provision of capital, investment, professional advice and insurance. It also makes a real difference to people in their daily lives, helping them save for the future, buy a home, invest in a business and manage risk.
We have always been member-led and member-focused. That is why our strategy remains aligned with the issues most important to members, and where our uniquely cross-sectoral remit allows us to have the greatest impact on their behalf.
