The world’s asset owners, financing as peers.
GPFA is a member-led association of 40+ global asset owners: pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and insurers. It advances practical discussion, education and transparency across securities finance, collateral and liquidity.
Asset-owner organizations across the membership
In assets represented by member institutions
Regions: Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific
Member-led, with practitioners setting the agenda
What GPFA does
Three pillars of member activity.
Members set the work in three areas. The association exists to make peers 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 on securities lending, repo, collateral and treasury management, written by the members who use it.
Explore resources
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.
