Feifa chief executive Paul Stanfield believes the partnership with BNP Paribas’ asset management business complements the association’s established industry relationships.
“In keeping with our existing partners, BNP is committed to assisting us with the professional development and training activities that we provide to our membership.”
The relationship will be headed up by BNP’s Stuart Johnston, who said: “We manage or advise on over €580bn, provide a full range of asset management services, and have a presence in more than 30 countries worldwide.
“We already work closely with financial advisers in many locations and are very much looking forward to working with Feifa and its member firms across Europe.”
