Financial Services Forum

The [http://www.financialservicesforum.org Financial Services Forum] is a non-partisan financial and economic policy organization comprised of the CEOs of 20 of the largest and most diversified financial services institutions doing business in the United States. It has been called “perhaps the country’s most powerful trade association” by TIME Magazine. The Forum works to promote policies that enhance savings and investment in the United States and that ensure an open, competitive and sound global financial services marketplace.

As a group, the Forum's member institutions employ more than 2 million people in 175 countries and hold combined assets of more than $19 trillion -- an amount greater than the annual economic output of the United States, Germany, and China combined.
