About the webinar series
While the ESG shift continues to bring exciting opportunities to the asset management industry, managers in Switzerland are also facing significant challenges in interpreting and implementing EU regulations, understanding local market practices both in Switzerland and abroad, and addressing data transparency issues and greenwashing risks.
With this series of short webinars, we aim to bring concise and practical information and guidance to asset managers in Switzerland in tackling the challenges that ESG brings.
In the third episode of the series, we discussed upcoming investment reporting challenges in the context of SFDR and good market practice. We also shared the results of our recent study survey on ESG investment reporting, which was conducted in partnership with bmpi (bmpi.ch), and includes responses from a total of 28 of the largest Swiss asset managers, custodian banks and asset owners. We discussed the practical implications from the study results, what they mean for Swiss investment managers and investors, and the actions that should be taken.
