The past few months have been an exciting period of growth and innovation for the openfunds community. With new members, a significant field list update, and the introduction of regular round tables, our ecosystem continues to evolve – always with the shared goal of improving fund data transparency, interoperability, and quality worldwide.

New: openfunds Round Tables
To further strengthen engagement within our community, we have recently introduced openfunds Round Tables – interactive online sessions held every 6–8 weeks. These gatherings offer active members a regular opportunity to:
- stay informed on recent updates and upcoming initiatives,
- share feedback and suggestions directly with the openfunds team, and
- connect with peers across the fund data ecosystem.
The round tables are serving as a dynamic forum for collaboration – helping ensure that openfunds continues to evolve with the needs of the industry.
