ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIPS
AFM Associate Membership gives organisations that support the mutual sector opportunities to become more involved in its future success. We already have a diverse range of associate members, including investment managers, legal advisers, consultancies, reinsurers, business consultancies and PR agencies.
Our aim is to develop reciprocal benefits between the trade body, its members and associate members. This is an opportunity to enjoy a comprehensive range of benefits that are traditionally only available to the full members of a trade organisation.
