The Investment Company Institute is the leading trade association for the asset management industry in the United States, representing regulated investment funds and the investors they serve. Since its founding in 1940, the organisation has spent more than eight decades advocating for the industry before Congress, federal agencies, and international regulatory bodies. Member firms collectively manage trillions of dollars for American investors across mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and unit investment trusts.
The Institute conducts authoritative research on financial markets, financial stability, tax policy, and retirement policy. Its flagship publication, the Investment Company Fact Book, now in its 65th edition, is regarded as the definitive summary of industry performance and trends. ICI Global, the organisation's international division, extends its reach through translations in Chinese and Japanese, helping stakeholders worldwide understand U.S. regulatory developments and industry practices.
