The Association of Investment Companies (AIC) was founded in 1932 to represent investment trusts – the oldest form of collective investment. Today, the AIC represents a broad range of investment companies, investment trusts and VCTs. Our mission is for investment companies to be considered by every investor. We support and promote the long-term benefits of investment companies engaging with members, investors, and the wider financial community.
