The DSI Foundation was created by the investment sector to address the sector’s need for strict self-regulation. Collaboration with all of the stakeholders in the sector is therefore extremely important to DSI. It helps us keep up with developments and opinions among the parties we were founded to serve. That collaboration is therefore embedded in the organisation’s structure, with a Board of Directors and a variety of committees. 

Board of the DSI Foundation

The board is the highest organ within DSI, and is charged with the management of the foundation. The board is responsible for formulating policy and drafting the budget, taking the foundation’s interests and mission into consideration. The board appoints the General Director, the members of the permanent and ad-hoc committees and the accountant. The President of the Board is not a member of one of the branch organisations.
