APEF

What APEF does

APEF (Asociación Peruana de Finanzas) is a Peruvian non-profit professional association founded approximately in 2006, operating as the country's leading financial guild for senior finance executives. The association is headquartered at Calle Germán Schereiber 276 in Lima's San Isidro district (within the Schreiber Business Center) and maintains a regional office in Arequipa serving southern Peru. APEF is led by President Alejandro Gómez Saba, an economist, MBA from Universidad del Pacífico, and Director of InPerú with 33 years of association leadership experience, and by Executive Director Segundo Capristán Núñez. The organization is member-governed through committees and is structured as an "entidad sin fines de lucro" with 51-100 employees.

APEF's product surface is built around a membership model with individual ("Asociados Individuales") and corporate ("Asociados Empresa") tiers, anchored by 13 specialized committees covering AI, Auditing, Costs, Commercial Finance, Risks, Treasury, Financial Planning, Microfinance, Insurance, Tax, Accounting Practices, Compliance, and a Regional South (Arequipa) committee. Member-facing programming includes the flagship XIX Foro Anual APEF (held December 10, 2025 on "Perspectivas Económicas para el 2026" with 200+ executives), regular committee sessions (e.g., XXXIII Sesión del Comité de Tesorería, III Sesión del Comité de IA), weekly member newsletter (Newsletter Asociados), after-office networking events, and a partner benefits program (Beneficios). Training is delivered through co-branded programs with core educational partners CENTRUM PUCP, Pacífico Business School, and Universidad Continental, supplemented by professional services content from EY Perú and international content partners (EuroFinance, EFFAS).

APEF's business model is a non-profit membership-and-sponsorship model with no publicly disclosed revenue. Income is generated through membership dues, training program fees, and event sponsorship from corporates such as BanBif, Arca Continental, and Grupo ATV, plus in-kind venue support from Schreiber Business Center. The association does not sell software, has no API, no proprietary technology product, and no patents or technology certifications in the source data. Distribution is domestic-only (Peru) and channeled through direct membership applications at apef.com.pe, digital channels (LinkedIn, X, Facebook, YouTube, email newsletter), and partner-driven referrals. There is no indication of outside investment, fundraising, mergers, or acquisitions.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• GARP (Global Association of Risk Professionals): Global risk-professional association with active Peru membership. Directly overlaps with APEF's Risks and Treasury committees and competes for sponsorship and member engagement in the same niche.
• CFA Institute: Global standards body for investment professionals, operating through local societies including CFA Society Peru. Competes for the same high-end finance talent in Peru and offers an internationally recognized credential.
• CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants): Global professional body for management accountants with growing LatAm membership. Competes for the same corporate-finance professional audience via international credentials and learning content.
• IMA (Institute of Management Accountants): Global association for management accountants with a strong Latin America presence. Competes with APEF for corporate-finance membership dollars and credentials, with broader international reach and certification products.
• ACFE (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners): Global anti-fraud professional association with Peru chapter activity. Overlaps with APEF's Audit and Compliance committees and competes for the same compliance-minded finance professionals.

Others

• EFFAS (European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies): European federation of national financial-analyst societies; already a content-distribution partner of APEF. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but represents a global credentialing and content ecosystem that members can access independently of APEF.

Direct peers

• IEF Perú (Instituto de Ejecutivos de Finanzas del Perú): Peruvian institute for finance executives, offering training, events, and certification. Closest functional peer to APEF in Peru, competing for the same corporate-finance audience and committee-driven programming model.
• CFA Society Peru: Local Peruvian society for CFA charterholders and investment professionals. Directly competes for the same finance-executive mindshare in Peru through events, networking, and credentials, serving an overlapping member persona.

Regional players

• AAEF (Asociación Argentina de Ejecutivos de Finanzas): Argentine finance executive association with a guild-style programming model. Regional peer with similar committee/event structure serving the Argentine CFO community, useful for cross-LatAm benchmarking.
• ANEF (Asociación Nacional de Ejecutivos de Finanzas): Mexican national association for finance executives with chapters across Mexico. Comparable guild model in a neighboring LatAm market; useful proxy for understanding cross-border association dynamics APEF could face.
