Financial Information Forum (FIF)

Founded in 1996, the Financial Information Forum (FIF) serves as a neutral venue for broker-dealers, exchanges, and financial technology vendors to collaborate on addressing and resolving implementation challenges. The organization's primary mission is to help industry participants reduce costs and risks while improving the efficiency and reliability of financial services operations. FIF achieves this by forming working groups and committees that focus on specific topics, such as market data, regulatory reporting, and clearing, to develop best practices and advocate for industry-wide solutions.
