Our policy team, based in our London office, collaborates closely with our membership, while our dedicated teams in Brussels and Frankfurt drive our advocacy efforts.
Our Mission
At AFME our mission is clear: we lead advocacy efforts, working hand-in-hand with our members to influence policies and regulations. We advocate for deep, integrated, and sustainable capital markets which serve the needs of companies and investors, supporting economic growth and benefiting society.
