    Goals / Remit

    BVI represents the interests of the German fund industry vis-à-vis politicians, supervisory authorities, and international institutions. BVI advocates sensible regulation of the fund business and fair competitive conditions. BVI’s 115 members manage assets of some EUR 4 trillion for retail investors, insurance companies, pension and retirement schemes, banks, churches, and foundations. With a share of 27%, Germany represents the largest fund market in the EU. BVI organises the industry's collective decision-making process - regardless of whether the members invest in securities or tangible assets, pursue active or passive strategies, specialise in administration or portfolio management, address institutional or private investors. BVI accompanies legislation in all political stages - via several hundred expert discussions per year, statements, named contributions, interviews and appearances at public conferences.

    Meetings

    27 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
