The Federation of European IFAs (Feifa) has passed the 60-member mark.

Feifa represents and supports English-speaking financial advisers across Europe and is a non-profit trade association.

It was founded over a decade ago.

Apart from its membership, Feifa is also affiliated with international life companies and asset managers; as well as pension and trust companies.

In the last six months alone, 11 firms have joined.

Offering guidance

“We are obviously pleased to see that our services are being appreciated and our message heard by an increasing number of companies,” said Paul Stanfield, chief executive of Feifa.

“Whilst the dreaded ‘Brexit’ situation has had some effect on this growth in recent times, it is clear that other aspects are of even more importance to most of our members.

“In particular, our professional development and training services are increasingly highly-rated by our members. Plus, in an environment of ever-growing regulatory hurdles, our ability to provide guidance and clarification in this area is also very important.”
