Futures Industry Association FIA
The Futures Industry Association (FIA} is the only association representative of all organizations that have an interest in the futures market. The FIA has more than 180 corporate members, reaching thousands of industry participants.
The Futures Industry Association website has a highly useful feature called “eclips” that brings you news that relates to the futures industry. If there is a hot issue that has an impact on commodity futures trading you are likely to find it there.
Regular Members are futures commission merchants. The FIA estimates that their regular members are responsible for more than 80% of the customer business transacted on U.S. futures exchanges. Through these members they represent the needs of futures industry customers; in fact, their members include the top 20 firms in terms of customer equity.
Associate Members include international exchanges, banks, legal and accounting firms, introducing brokers, commodity trading adviser’s, commodity pool operators and other market users, and information and equipment providers headquartered in the U.S.A. and abroad.
As you can see this is a powerful association of industry movers and shakers.
