The Association of Investment Companies (AIC)

Founded in 1932, The Association of Investment Companies (AIC) serves as the trade body for the UK-listed investment company industry. Its mission is to represent the interests of its member companies, which include investment trusts and venture capital trusts (VCTs), by promoting the industry, lobbying on its behalf, and providing comprehensive information and statistics. The AIC works to make the industry better understood by investors, financial advisers, and the media, and plays a crucial role in setting standards of best practice for corporate governance.
