The Institute plays an important role in making foreign securities markets work more effectively for investors who participate in stock, bond, and money markets through mutual funds and other investment companies. ICI works with foreign legislators, regulators, securities market officials, and other market participants to ensure that capital markets operate efficiently. The Institute supports initiatives and reforms that help keep markets competitive, transparent, and liquid.
As investment companies seek opportunities in the global marketplace, the Institute also seeks legislative and regulatory improvements that enhance the competitiveness of U.S. money management firms abroad. In particular, the Institute advocates lowering the barriers that prevent U.S. asset management firms from marketing their services and products around the world.
