AHIC Membership Access
Access to AHIC membership programs and services varies based on the type of membership a firm holds and the role of employees within member firms. All employees are categorized as either Investor Representatives or Affiliate Representatives. This categorization allows AHIC to deliver on its mission of providing investor-only forums while also seeking ways to engage our affiliate partners, whether they work for a standalone syndicator or a bank syndicator. This flow chart helps firms understand how their employees will be able to access their corporate-level membership.
Investor and Affiliate Representative Benefits and Access
Investor Representatives have unlimited access to AHIC programs, forums and benefits. Affiliate Representatives have limited access.
Investors: to apply, submit your application online. Affiliates: sign up here to be notified when the Affiliate membership program has launched.
All Memberships are reviewed by the Membership Committee and payable upon approval. Final membership approval is rendered by the AHIC Board of Governors. If a firm is denied membership by the Board, all dues and payments will be refunded.
