The European Leveraged Finance Association (ELFA), a trade association comprised of European leveraged finance investors from 50 institutional fixed income managers – including investment advisors, insurance companies and pensions funds – has restructured its governance framework to support the organisation during its next phase of growth.
The changes comprise transitioning the Executive Committee to five Management Committees. Each member of the Board will sit on one of the five committees to oversee the specific aspects of administration of the ELFA.
The Management Committees and responsibilities include:
Alex Kay, Independent Chair of the Board, European Leveraged Finance Association, said: “In only two and a half years, the ELFA has grown to become an important trade organisation representing investors from 50 institutional fixed income managers. It is important that our governance standards remain rigorous, and we have made these changes to ensure that the organisation is appropriately set up for its next phase of growth.”
Sabrina Fox, Chief Executive Officer, European Leveraged Finance Association, added: “The activities of the ELFA are driven by our members, and this change in governance structure better reflects that foundational principle of our organisation. The new structure also facilitates deeper engagement by our Board members and ensures that we maintain our focus on representing the interests of investors as we progress into our next stage of growth. We look forward to continuing our work with the management committees, initiative committees and members to promote a more transparent, efficient and resilient leveraged finance market in Europe.”
The European Leveraged Finance Association (ELFA) is delighted to announce the appointment of Gladys Asogbon as the new Director of Engagement & Regulatory Affairs.
ELFA is delighted to have been a Nominating Partner for the inaugural Insight Investment - University of Oxford Prize for Greening Finance. We congratulate the deserving 2023 winners.
ELFA is excited to be collaborating with the ESG Integrated Disclosure Project (ESG IDP) on behalf of its members, and will explore opportunities to demonstrate interoperability in its efforts to obtain ESG disclosures from borrowers. ELFA recognises commonality with the approach taken by the ESG IDP template, and welcomes the opportunity to provide support, feedback and resources to the initiative to harmonise industry efforts and accelerate ESG integration across all markets.
