Matter's Co-Founder and COO comments on the new labels to PA Future & A-Team Insights.
While some ESG-focused groups are anticipated to be early adopters of these labels, appreciating the overarching goals of SDR and the FCA's label development, many others find the process of applying for a specific label challenging due to the extensive data and reporting required. The available labels for SDR are: Sustainability Impact, Sustainability Mixed Goals, Sustainability Focus, and Sustainability Improvers.
Matter’s Co-founder and COO Emil Stigsgaard Fuglsang comments on the progress:
"Smaller UK firms could struggle to analyse their portfolios for a label. The implementation of SDR is a positive step for the UK fund management industry, but it also presents two tall hurdles many smaller firms must now overcome. Any fund manager who wishes to adopt the labels must develop frameworks for classifying investments as sustainable, as well as thoroughly analyse their portfolios to ensure at least 70% of investments align with the fund’s objectives."
