“With a share of 27%, Germany represents the largest fund market in the EU. BVI organises the industry's collective decision-making process - regardless of whether the members invest in securities or tangible assets, pursue active or passive strategies, specialise in administration or portfolio management, address institutional or private investors. BVI accompanies legislation in all political stages - via several hundred expert discussions per year, statements, named contributions, interviews and appearances at public conferences.”
