European Commission provides SFDR closure

by Silvia Saccardi 24 April 2023

The European Commission has (finally) provided responses to questions raised by European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) regarding SFDR back in September 2022.

The guidance represents a positive step towards providing further clarity on the intricacies of the regulation and broadly avoids a total amendment of current Article 8 and 9 disclosures.

Fund managers now have a level of closure on what is expected of them and can mostly maintain their disclosure plans.

The main updates are highlighted below.

Defining a ‘sustainable investment’

The EC has clarified that minimum thresholds for Article 9 funds will not be introduced.
