SFDR: “Confusion” surrounding ESG credentials Mar 11, 2021 By Funds Europe The majority of institutional investors and wealth managers will focus on ESG criteria when evaluating investments in the future. Research published by Tabula Investment Management showed that 77% of organisations will look at the ESG rating of an investment, while over 60% will focus on ESG labels such as the SFDR rating. The EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) came into effect on Tuesday and was welcomed by the funds industry. But Tabula’s chief executive, John Lytle, said there was “much confusion” around the sustainability credentials of ESG-labelled funds due to the multitude of different approaches in the space.
