The Fund Managers Association of the Philippines or FMAP was established

in April of 1997 with the mission of fostering the development of the capital and financial markets, in particular, the fund management industry.   It is an organization of local equity and fixed income fund managers, currently composed of 42 institutions each administering at least P100 million worth of

funds with a total AUM of P2.0T.   Its membership has steadily grown over its

nearly ten years of participation in activities largely aimed at informing and thereby protecting the investing public as well as espousing the interests of concerned government agencies.

In particular, the more salient core objectives of FMAP are:

·         contribute in the formulation of policies and guidelines of regulatory

      agencies such as the SEC, BSP and Insurance Commission aimed at

      increasing efficiency and effectiveness of the fund management industry

·         collaborate with government agencies and other organizations in the

      consideration or amendment of laws affecting the industry

·         educate by way of seminars, symposia and other fora and propagate

      information in the interest of members and the general public
