ICMA is one of the few trade associations globally that includes both buy-side and sell-side representation. ICMA’s buy-side members include asset managers, private banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, private credit firms and other institutional investors.
In addition to buy-side members being engaged across the work and committees of the association, ICMA has a dedicated Asset Management and Investors Council (AMIC), which was established in 2008 to represent the views of and add value to its buy-side members by discussing investment issues of common interest, reaching consensus and recommending actions that ICMA should take. The Council organises virtual events, quarterly Executive Committee meetings, and oversees a number of subcommittees and working groups.
The AMIC comprises co-opted members of the Council and the chairs of the permanent working groups. It meets quarterly to discuss regulatory and market topics relevant to the buy-side community. The Secretariat manages several working groups, and participation in the Council’s subcommittees and working groups is exclusively open to buy-side member firms.
