While many people invest in asset management products, APFI recognizes a unique subset as its members who are dedicated professionals within banks, family offices, fund of funds, pension funds, wealth managers and other institutions.

APFI is open to the global professional fund investor community for membership. The commonality of the issues and interests of professional fund investors worldwide as well as the continuous evolution of global trends are important reasons to share our global perspective.
