About the FIPA

Investor confidence has been rocked by an erosion of trust in the financial services industry. The revelations of rampant conflicts of interest within previously solid institutions combined with turbulent and uncertain economic conditions have caused investors to search for more sources of reliable information to protect their investments. Where does the smart investor turn for independent and accurate guidance?

Members of the Financial Publishers Association produce information to guide investors to protect and grow their wealth. We provide thoughtful, intelligent, unbiased information so our readers can make sound investment decisions. We have a longstanding tradition of independence and independent thinking. In this time of uncertainty, we have redoubled our commitment to maintaining investor trust.

To that end, we have formed an association of publishers who are committed to empower investors to make informed decisions with unbiased information that is free from conflicts of interest.

FIPA is a board member of the Alliance for Investor Education.
