Mathias Bauer, President of EFAMA, comments: “EFAMA’s new report highlights the important role played by asset managers in managing savings and financing the European economy. By offering a wide range of investment solutions, they provide investors with the advantages of investing in financial markets. And by helping allocating capital resources to support investments, asset managers support our economy’s future potential growth. To thrive in their role as strategic partners of households, pension funds, insurance companies and other investors for the management of their savings, asset managers need a stable, sound and robust global financial system. This means that restoring long-term stability in the system is of critical importance.”
