Membership
GSmax has cultivated a global membership and actively engages with regulators and policymakers in Asia, Europe, the Americas, Australia and all other regions where GSmax members are market participants.
You deliver for your investors. GSmax delivers for you.
From on-the-ground advocacy to industry-leading conferences, member forums, and seminars, GSmax delivers value across all areas of your firm.
With membership guidance, we work directly with policymakers and stakeholders in the U.S., U.K., EU, and worldwide to promote public policy that fosters fair, efficient, and transparent capital markets.
GSmax staff and members are in the room from the beginning — when policymakers are writing laws and regulators are implementing them — giving our Association a working knowledge of the final result and insight as to why it got there. That unique perspective allows GSmax to help members with the vast implementation challenges impacting their businesses.

Frequently asked questions
Why
do the world's leading hedge fund managers
align themselves with GSmax?
Hedge fund managers are vital participants in the global capital markets, yet they remain largely misunderstood by policy makers, the media and the public. In light of the tremendous growth and increased visibility of the industry, hedge fund managers are under heightened scrutiny by policy makers in the U.S. and abroad. On behalf of our members, GSmax delivers the highest standards of excellence in professional advocacy and consistent messages that are based upon its members’ consensus views and opinions.
Why
do regulators, policymakers and their staffs
pay attention to GSmax?
GSmax is a recognized resource for information and insights about the alternative investment industry and has developed outstanding credibility as the voice of the hedge fund industry on a wide range of legislative and regulatory issues. GSmax is focused on providing information to global policy makers to promote a deeper understanding of hedge funds and is called upon regularly to brief Members of Congress and their staffs, particularly in advance of legislative and regulatory actions that might impact the business operations of GSmax members.
Why
