AIMA is the world’s largest membership association for alternative investment managers. Its membership has more firms, managing more assets than any other industry body, and through our 10 offices located around the world, we serve over 2,000 members in 60 different countries.

AIMA’s mission, which includes that of its private credit affiliate, the Alternative Credit Council (ACC), is to ensure that our industry of hedge funds, private market funds and digital asset funds is always best positioned for success. Success in our industry is defined by its contribution to capital formation, economic growth, and positive outcomes for investors while being able to operate efficiently within appropriate and proportionate regulatory frameworks.

Members gain access to over 250 global events annually, industry-standard Due Diligence Questionnaires (DDQs), Sound Practice Guides, and the opportunity to contribute to thought leadership and advocacy through more than 150 working groups, peer networks, and committees.

AIMA is recognised as the pre-eminent global voice of the industry, driven by the expertise of our members. We work together to shape policy and regulatory reform while delivering lasting value across our members' organisations—from investor engagement to compliance and operational excellence. In a constantly evolving market, AIMA helps members navigate change and make informed, strategic decisions.
