The Guild of Investment Managers, founded in 2015, was created to combine the benefits of a modern, diverse and dynamic network organisation with the traditions of the livery world.

Furthermore, it provides the means for asset management professionals to engage more deeply with each other, increase wider understanding of the industry and contribute positively to society through associated charity.

The Guild is run by working and retired members of the investment management community, who each volunteer their time to help build an organisation which makes a long-lasting contribution to the personal and professional development of current and future members of the profession.
