Mission/Donors
The Institute is qualified as a nonprofit organization under
Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Code. Our
mission focuses on three primary areas — education, ethics and
data. We serve as an industry utility and develop and deliver
products and services directed to securities and futures brokerage
firms, market-users, and those who shape and implement
public-policy for the financial services industry.
The IFM is particularly known for the quality and balance of its work. We
publish texts, develop customized education and produce specialized in-house
training that are used by wide cross-section of financial market users including
investors, exchanges, financial firms, U.S. and international regulators, and
multi-country member organizations. We deliver education in a variety of
mediums from asynchronous Web-courses and live Web-seminars, to public-enrollment
courses in major financial centers and customized in-house programs for
clients. Finally, The IFM participates in the development of standards
and fostering best practices initiatives in the financial services industry.
As a nonprofit organization, the Institute funds its activities and development
of new services from two principal sources: the sale of its products and services
and the generous support of a broad range of financial institutions, exchanges,
brokerage firms and participants from a variety of market sectors. Tax-deductible
contributions to the IFM help underwrite:
- The development of product and market-based educational materials directed to
industry professionals, market-users, journalists, academics and those who shape and
implement public policy for the financial services industry,
- The development of standards and fostering best practices initiatives in the
futures and related financial services industry,
- Market data used by academic and government researchers and industry professionals
and their clients throughout the world.
We proudly salute those who recognize the quality work
that has become the IFM’s trademark and who have supported the Institute through
tax-deductible donations.
