ACI Financial Markets Association (“ACI FMA”) is a global non-political, non-profit association of wholesale financial market participants. ACI FMA was established under the French Law of 1901 and based on mutual recognition of markets professionals, with the objective of developing the profession, without discrimination of any sort.

Since 1955, ACI FMA has represented the interests of individuals in professional trading, broking, operations, regulatory and compliance activities in global financial markets.

Focused on three core values of Membership, Education and Ethical Conduct, ACI FMA is committed to supporting market participants to operate at the highest standards of ethical conduct and best market practice. Specifically, these values represent:

  60 National Associations globally.
• Education: Accredited, portable qualification and certification of professional and
  ethical standards to market participants worldwide.

  in adherence to global Codes relevant to them.

ACI FMA members are proud to represent individual responsibility, and benefit from a network of global peers who place great emphasis on the best possible practices in our profession, in the same way as modern regulatory regimes and industry codes.

Through cooperation with ACI FMA, an entity is able to demonstrate that concrete steps are being taken to ensure all the staff have been trained to the highest ethical standards of conduct, and that they understand their individual obligation.
