AIMA - The Alternative Investment Management Association

This week, AIMA Chairman Karl Wachter, CEO Jack Inglis and Deputy CEO Jiri Krol sat down with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda as part of a series of high-level engagements with senior US regulators, government officials, and policymakers.    These meetings followed AIMA’s recent letter to Chairman Atkins (https://lnkd.in/e8ebSkbr), which outlined a series of targeted recommendations to help create efficient, well-functioning capital markets while promoting responsible innovation.   Commenting on the meeting, Jack Inglis, CEO of AIMA, the world's largest membership association for alternative investment managers, said: "Under Chairman Atkins’ leadership, we are seeing a hugely welcome shift towards a more growth-oriented regulatory approach. This presents a real opportunity to deepen AIMA's collaboration with the SEC in support of well-functioning capital markets. Alternative investments—including hedge funds, private credit, and digital assets—play a key role in delivering meaningful outcomes for both investors and the real economy. We look forward to working with the agency’s leadership to support continued innovation, investor access, and resilience across the financial system.”   As the global voice of the alternative investment industry, AIMA remains committed to engaging constructively with regulators worldwide to promote smart regulation, innovation, and market integrity. #alternativeinvestments #regulation #advocacy #sec #institutionalinvestor #privatecredit #digitalassets #hedgefunds

Today’s Financial Stability Board’s (FSB) report on leverage in non-bank financial intermediation rightly recognises that leverage—when appropriately managed—can support the real economy, enhance capital markets, and contribute to effective risk management. https://lnkd.in/eyadpCY7 Jack Inglis, CEO of AIMA, the world's largest membership association for alternative investment managers, commented: “Many of the recommendations in today’s FSB report are already in place across jurisdictions that host the largest alternative investment managers. The real challenge is that the current data framework often obscures more than it reveals. Reforming how data is collected from non-banks—and combining that with information already held by banks—needs to come first. Only then can regulators assess whether any additional policies are needed to manage leverage-related risks.”
