The Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association (PIMFA) is the leading trade association for firms that provide investment services and financial advice to everyone from individuals and families to charities, pension funds, trusts and companies.

That means we get involved in all sorts of interesting topics including savings and investments for young people, new technology and impact on business, cyber security, social impact and ESG, regulatory change, political and government affairs. PIMFA was created in 2017 as the outcome of a merger between the Association of Professional Financial Advisers (APFA) and the Wealth Management Association (WMA) with a history as a trade association since 1991.

We are a small and friendly team with a fantastic culture of collaboration, innovation and excellence.
