An Association of Peers, by Peers, and for Peers.
GPFA is a member-led association of 40+ of the world’s largest asset owners, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurers, and asset managers, representing over $15 trillion in assets. Rooted in securities finance, GPFA has grown into a forum for direct, peer-to-peer conversations across the disciplines its members work in, from trading desks to legal, technology, cybersecurity, and treasury, with new working groups forming as members’ needs evolve.

Three pillars of member activity.
Members set the work across the disciplines they bring to GPFA, with new working groups forming as members identify needs and leaders come forward. The association exists to make peers, and the teams they represent, more useful to one another. None of it is investment advice.
01 / Education
A peer-built library
Member-led briefings, working sessions, and a shared library spanning securities lending, repo, and collateral to legal, technology, cybersecurity, and treasury and cash management, written by the members who use it.

02 / Collaboration
Peers at the table
Quarterly meetings and one annual in-person gathering. Members set the agenda, the host rotates each year, and the rooms stay closed-door and candid.

03 / Advocacy
One collective voice
When policy affects beneficial owners, GPFA carries the membership's voice to industry partners and regulators, grounded in what members do day to day.
