The members of the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) have
a clear interest in promoting the success of the Companies in which they
invest either directly, in the case of pension funds, or on behalf of their
pension fund clients, in the case of investment management firms.

As a consequence of this, the NAPF has long considered that one of its
prime functions is to represent these interests on behalf of its
membership. This representation takes many forms including, among
others, involvement with the Accounting Standards Board and the
Financial Reporting Council, membership of the Institutional
Shareholders’ Committee and representation on the Panel on Takeovers
and Mergers and on various Government-appointed committees and
investigative bodies.
