The Isle of Man Fund Management Association (FMA) 
was established in 1987 as a trade association 
to represent the Island's fund administration 
and management industry.


The FMA's principal objective is to protect and enhance the collective 
interests of its members. This entails working in harmony with 
the Island's government and regulators to ensure that a suitable 
environment exists to allow investment businesses to develop 
and innovate new products and services to meet the increasingly 
sophisticated needs of the international investment community, 
whilst maintaining the Island's reputation as a safe and well-regulated 
international financial centre with a strong emphasis on investor 
protection.


Our membership spans the whole spectrum of the 
Island's investment community, including collective fund managers 
and administrators, trustees and custodians, stockbrokers, 
private client asset managers, life assurance companies and 
investment banks as well as professional firms such as lawyers 
and accountants who provide services to the investment 
business industry
.

A vital element of the FMA's work is the promotion of the Island 
and the fund industry to the international investment community. 
Working in conjunction with government and other private sector 
organisations the FMA seeks to raise awareness and profile 
of the Island as a centre in which to locate and administer collective 
investment schemes and investment management operations.


Training and Competency play a vital role in all aspects of the 
financial services community and the FMA fully participate in 
consultation with our regulators, other professional bodies and 
training providers in order to facilitate focussed and relevant 
training opportunities for member firms and their employees. 
We are also pleased to offer an e-learning facility on this site 
in order to assist individuals in the industry with their 
development needs.
