The European Structured Investment Products Association (EUSIPA) was named Best Trade Association at StructuredRetailProducts.com’s annual European award ceremony in London earlier this week.

EUSIPA was chosen for its pioneering work integrating structured products into the FINDATEX platform for standardising information flow between EU manufacturers and distributors, for the breadth and depth of its EU regulatory dialogue and response, and for its cross-border platform provision to member associations and banks.

EUSIPA chair Heike Arbter said: “This has been a particularly challenging period for the industry, as it faces the simultaneous challenges of regulatory alignment, an increasing ESG demand and a progressively cross-border and complex business environment. We are proud to have become the key industry contact for regulators, policy-makers and our membership alike.”

“Our raison d’être is to communicate common denominator industry issues and positions for a broad and in some ways diverse international membership,” added vice chair Roger Studer. “This award is a welcome recognition that our endeavours are on target.”
