We are the Brazilian Financial and Capital Markets Association. The entity has the purpose of representing and defending the interests of more than 300 members including banks, asset managers, brokers, securities dealers and investment advisers, which reflects the plurality and independence of our association. We work for the representation and coordination of our members' interests, locally and internationally, and are dedicated to the development of a stronger capital market in Brazil.ANBIMA was created in October 2009 by the merger of the former National Association of Investment Banks (ANBID) and the former National Association of Financial Market Institutions (ANDIMA), institutions that had represented the market for more than four decades.Our mission is based on four commitments: represent, self-regulate, inform and educate.
