  • Paving the Way: The Future of Fund Data Standards in Europe

    Paving the Way: The Future of Fund Data Standards in Europe

    The FundsXML initiative proudly co-hosted “The Future of Fund Data Standards in Europe” alongside openfunds on March 26, 2025, at the SIX Convention Point in Zurich. This landmark event brought together over 130 industry professionals from across Europe to address one of the fund sector’s most urgent challenges: the drive toward harmonized, future-ready fund data standards.

    🤝 A Collective Push Toward Harmonization

    From the outset, it was clear that this event marked an important milestone in aligning the industry’s efforts. Through insightful keynotes, deep-dive panels, and practical testimonials, participants examined everything from the complexities of data ownership to the real-world benefits of standardization.

    🔍 Key Takeaways

    • ESAP & Regulation: The upcoming European Single Access Point (ESAP) was a central theme. Regulators and practitioners alike shared their views on how it could reshape access to financial and sustainability-related data.
    • Market Fragmentation: A dynamic panel raised the essential question – do we need more or fewer standards? – sparking thoughtful discussion on consolidation vs. innovation.
    • A hands-on case study featuring the OeKB Fund Data Portal demonstrated that standardization—specifically through the FundsXML format—is far from a theoretical exercise. The real-world application showed measurable benefits, including enhanced operational efficiency, cost savings, and improved data quality in day-to-day fund operations.

    🎤 Expert Voices

    With speakers from ESMA, UBS, AMAS, Amundi Austria, OeKB, SIX Financial Information, Allfunds, FE fundinfo and many more, the event offered a 360-degree view of where fund data is headed – and how we can get there together.

    🌐 Building the Future, Together

    The event concluded with an engaging networking reception that sparked new connections and energized participants to continue collaborating beyond Zurich. For us at FundsXML, this event reaffirms our belief that open dialogue is the path forward for the fund industry.
