Recent years have seen their fair share of controversy over ESG claims in the asset management industry (including a raid on DWS in 2022). As a result, regulators are now keeping a watchful eye. Most asset managers have every intention to comply with requirements, but that’s easier said than done when regulatory requirements are subject to interpretation and ESG data faces both coverage and quality issues. Explore the minefield of data sourcing with us at the upcoming PostTrade 360° Nordic 2024 conference. Have you gotten your ticket yet?
[14 August edit: John Erikmats replaces Elisabet Jamal Bergström.]
ESG data can be based on estimates instead of actual measurements, contain outdated reporting, and compiled using methodology that oversimplify complex issues and lack transparency. Different financial products have very different requirements from data, which requires effort and resources from asset managers to tailor and adapt the data to their particular needs.
How can data be better tailored to the requirements of asset managers, and how can its granularity, transparency and consistency be improved? Dive in with our experts in the session titled “The ESG data conundrum for asset managers” on 5 September.
