BETTER FINANCE
BETTER FINANCE, the European Federation of Investors and Financial Services Users, is the public interest non-governmental organisation advocating and defending the interests of European citizens as financial services users at the European level to policy makers and the public in order to promote and protect individual investors and other financial users. It is the one and only European-level organisation solely dedicated to the representation of individual investors, savers and other financial services users.[1]
BETTER FINANCE acts as an independent financial expertise, research and advocacy centre to the direct benefit of European financial services users. Since the BETTER FINANCE constituency includes individual and small shareholders, fund and retail investors, savers, pension fund participants, life insurance policy holders, borrowers, and other stakeholders who are independent from the financial industry, it claims to have the best interests of all European citizens at heart. BETTER FINANCE activities are supported by the European Union since 2012.[2]
Background
BETTER FINANCE was created in 2009 in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. BETTER FINANCE’s predecessor, Euroshareholders, was created in 1992 and gathered about 30 individual shareholder organisations in Europe. Euroshareholders joined BETTER FINANCE in 2012. This constituted a very important landmark towards a fully unified representation of the interests of all financial users at European level.
BETTER FINANCE directly benefits European end-users of financial services (and non-industry stakeholders) as its members are dedicated non-profit European financial services user organisations themselves (and other stakeholders independent from the financial industry). They act as representatives of financial services users in their respective EU Member States, thereby ensuring proper governance, independence and prevention of conflicts of interests.
BETTER FINANCE represents about 4 million financial services users in more than 35 countries, including most European Member States.
Activities
BETTER FINANCE tries to balance the influence of financial institutions in the EU financial policy-making process[3], by:
- engaging in EU financial policy advisory groups and processes (FSUG[4], EBA[5], EIOPA[6], ESMA[7], EFRAG[8], etc.);
- organising campaigns to provide relevant information and better protection for end-users;
- promoting market integrity and transparency for individual investors and non-industry stakeholders;
- and pushing for better governance of financial supervision for all European citizens.
BETTER FINANCE's main areas of activity include Sustainable Finance, Financial Education, Life Insurance, Pensions, Packaged Investments, Shareholders Rights, Corporate Governance and Audit & Financial Reporting. BETTER FINANCE closely monitors the following EU files with regards to financial regulation: Shareholders Rights Directive, Capital Markets Union, IORPs, MiFID, PRIIPs, IMD, FTT, ELTIFs, UCITS, Solvency, PEPP, ESG, Ecolabel
