Background & Mission

Founded in 1937 as the Investment Counsel Association of America, the Investment Adviser Association is a not-for-profit organization that has exclusively represented the interests of fiduciary investment adviser firms for more than eight decades — including playing a major role in the enactment of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the federal law regulating our industry.

Our members range from global asset managers to the medium- and small-sized firms that make up the majority of our industry. Together, the IAA’s members manage more than $35 trillion in assets for a wide variety of clients, including individuals, trusts, investment companies, private funds, pension plans, state and local governments, endowments, foundations, and corporations.
