PIMFA Targets
The CEO is responsible and accountable for diversity and inclusion in the organisation and reports progress to the PIMFA Board on a regular basis with effect from June 2018 (June is the start of PIMFA’s financial year).
Explaining PIMFA’s Targets
PIMFA is an Association that represents the needs of its members to Regulators, Government and key stakeholders and serves to further the interests of its member firms. It is a small organisation and its key specialisms include advocate, policy work and representation. This is itself a specialised field, exacerbated by the fact that it is within the wealth management and financial advice sector, which is under-represented in terms of sex.
