History
SIFMA was formed on Nov. 1, 2005 when the Securities Industry Association and the Bond Market Association merged.
In May 2009, SIFMA announced a merger with the London Investment Banking Association to become a single, independent European organization, the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME).[2] AFME, SIFMA and its Asian affiliate ASIFMA, now comprise the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA), which represents the common interests of the world’s leading financial and capital market participants, and speaks for the industry on the most important global market issues.[3]
