The membership body says the terminology in the proposed guidance is problematic because it conflates responsible investment with more intentionally programmatic or mission-aligned investment.

Chau is determined to help boost both Labuan’s prominence and also the Alpadis Group brand and client base, thereby aiming to move into the top tier of names in the local industry.
Three steps to help clients who discover unexpected treasure. Matthew Erskine | Mar 01, 2021 The excitement of someone realizing that they now possesses an item with great financial, social and historical value is something that we can all enjoy vicariously.
