About Us: Our Mission
The Asset Managers Forum (the “Forum”) is the operations oriented affiliate of the Asset Management Group (“AMG”) of SIFMA. The AMF was formed in 1997 by securities processing professionals at major asset management firms. The Forum is a response to a longstanding need on the Street; namely, the opportunity for buy side, sell side and custodian bank professionals to jointly pursue the development of industry-wide processing and operations best practices, mutual challenges such as STP, Fails and Corporate Actions, and development of processes for new products such as OTC derivatives. While the AMG remains focused on broad policy matters, the AMF is focused on nuts-and-bolts operations matters.
