Investors’ appetite for investment products that consider environment, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues is surging, and investment managers are responding with a variety of products designed to meet a variety of investor needs and preferences. 

However, investors today have great difficulty making meaningful comparisons of ESG approaches used in investment products based on the information currently being provided by managers. 

To address this, the newly developed Global ESG Disclosure Standards for Investment Products by CFA Institute establish a common baseline of information that managers should disclose about the ESG approaches used in an investment product. In this webinar, we have invited Chris Fidler, Senior Director of the Global Industry Standards team at CFA Institute, who led the development of these standards, to share more on them.
