BDB has been a member of ELTI (European Association of Long-Term Investors) since 2006. The organization was established under the name of ISLTC in June 2001 and its mission was to facilitate the cooperation and information and know-how exchange between similar institutions within the European Union which specialise in long-term investments aimed at improving and expanding their joint actions.

In order to further broaden the activities of the organization and ensure sustainable representation at EU level in 2012 the ISLTC club was restructured and transformed into the European Long-Term Investors Association (ELTI).

The Association gathers 31 European long-term investors from 21 Member States, 2.7 trillion euros combined balance sheet total across the European Union as well as candidate countries. The Association promotes and attracts quality long-term investment in the real economy.
