BVI becomes member of IOSCO

The German Investment Funds Association BVI has become an affiliate member of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO). International cooperation and engagement are of great importance to the association. “BVI is one of the most internationally active fund associations worldwide. It is therefore only natural to be represented in global organisations such as IOSCO,” says Thomas Richter, Chief Executive Officer of BVI. Key industry topics such as digitalisation, cybersecurity, and financial stability are discussed at a global level. In this context, IOSCO’s recommendations shape regulation and its implementation across the EU. “We expect this membership to foster closer engagement with supervisors, especially within Europe,” Richter adds.

IOSCO is the international association of securities regulators. It develops international standards for securities regulation and promotes their consistent application. In cooperation with the Financial Stability Board and the G20, IOSCO aims to strengthen the stability, transparency, and functioning of global financial markets.
