About EHYA

The European High Yield Association (EHYA), an affiliate of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), is a trade association representing participants in the European leveraged finance market. Membership is open to banks, investors, issuers, law firms, accounting firms, financial sponsors and other participants in the European high yield market.

EHYA has a strong advocacy programme aimed at developing best market practices and positively influencing legislators, government entities and securities exchanges. A key purpose of the EHYA is to work with lawmakers and regulators in the European Union. EHYA lobbies for its members to promote efficient and appropriate regulation and constructive rulemaking processes. The association is leading the insolvency reform project focusing on identifying opportunities to design and promote effective solutions to the structural limitations that are built into European insolvency regimes. The ultimate goal is to ensure that European insolvency law keeps pace with the rapidly evolving leveraged finance marketplace.
