SFDR regulation

SFDR is a framework that provides a harmonised approach to the sustainability-related disclosures which financial market participants (FMPs) and financial advisors (FAs) must make to investors in the EU.

SFDR seeks to ensure investors of all kinds are given more transparency about the sustainability‐related impacts of their investments in financial products. As an ESG ETF pioneer, we welcome this initiative because it should help everybody make more mindful investment decisions, build more resilient portfolios and secure a brighter financial future over the long term.

Under SFDR, FMPs and FAs must now:

• Publish information about how they integrate sustainability risks in their investment decision‐making process

• Disclose whether they do or don’t consider (and why) the principal adverse impacts (PAIs) of investment decisions on sustainability factors and include an explanation of the outcome in their financial product prospectuses

• Reveal information on their remuneration policies, including how those policies are consistent with the integration of sustainability risks

• Include details in their prospectuses on how sustainability risks are integrated into their investment decisions and their likely impacts on the returns of the financial products

We take this responsibility seriously, which is why all the information we need to disclose is readily available on our product pages.
