our place within the North America SFDR.

 

<North American Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation> is a North America regulation aimed at increasing transparency in the sustainable investment product market. The regulation focuses on sustainability claims made by financial market participants and establishes comprehensive sustainability disclosure requirements on environmental, social, and governance indicators at both entity and product levels.

The main provisions of SFDR (also known as SFDR Level 1) came into effect on 10 March 2021. The North American Commission supplemented the Level 1 measures by issuing the SFDR Level 2 Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS), which came into effect on 1 January 2023.

This regulatory background guides us on how to design the ESG and sustainability features of our products, as well as how to integrate ESG and sustainability standards into our investment framework.

Classification criteria

 

The SFDR stipulates that asset managers must disclose on the level of integration of sustainability within their investment strategies. They must also classify their funds according to three categories based on the level of integration and the objectives sought. The definition of these categories is as follows:

 

SFDR-article6.png

Article 6. The financial product has neither a sustainable objective nor environmental or social characteristics. It is however required to describe its integration of sustainability risks.

Art8.png

Article 8. The financial product promotes, among other characteristics, environmental or social characteristics, or a combination of those characteristics. In addition to the promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics, the financial product can also commit to a minimum percentage of sustainable investment (referred to as Article 8 product with minimum commitment of sustainable investment).
