The new European regulation regarding sustainability disclosure for financial markets has implemented a new framework which funds managers and financial advisers must abide in order to proclaim that they are sustainable, ESG or similar.
This regulation separates funds into three categories:
- Article 6:
- Funds which do not consider sustainability matters
- Article 8
- Funds which promote the environmental or social matters
- Article 9
- Funds with the objective of making sustainable investments
The levels and types of disclosures for each type of fund are different, but this regulation makes mandatory to make disclosures in:
- Periodic reporting
- Website
- Pre-contractual agreement (prospectus)
