Sustainable Investing
Sustainability in the fund industry
As demand for sustainability grows, we recognise the importance of transparent, accurate and comparable Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data and analytics for the asset management industry.
Regulation can be a powerful force in driving sustainable outcomes, and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) along with EU Taxonomy is intended to offer investors clear comparisons around sustainable investments and encourage sustainable investing.
Enhanced disclosure obligations required by SFDR will help support the transition to a sustainable economy while also increasing transparency.
Explore the investment funds with strong ESG practices and integrate ESG factors into portfolio analysis, equity research, screening or quantitative analysis.
Unlock value by building sustainability into your investment strategy and integrating ESG criteria into your investment decisions.
