Sustainable Finance Disclosure Directive

European Union Sustainable Finance Disclosure Directive

ARIA Capital Management (Europe) Limited (“ACME”) manages sustainable mandates. To ensure wealth and well-being, some investors aim for both performance and sustainability. On the path we are currently on, achieving financial performance is no longer the only thing that matters, but also the impact of investments on society.

Sustainable investing has come a long way from its humble origins in the 18th century and is now a multi-trillion-dollar industry. It has gone from niche to mainstream, and the number of tools and resources available for investing in sustainability has grown tremendously. Sustainable investing ranges from basic exclusions to more sophisticated climate solutions as the asset management industry seeks to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.


European Union Sustainable Finance Disclosure Directive (SFDR)


The EU SFDR was created as part of the Union’s response to its obligations under the Paris Agreement signed in December 2015. The SFDR is a fundamental pillar of the EU Sustainable Finance agenda, having been introduced by the European Commission as a core part of its 2018 Sustainable Finance Action Plan, which also include the Taxonomy Regulations. The main purpose of the regulation is to improve transparency in the market for sustainable investment products, to prevent greenwashing and to increase transparency around sustainability claims made by financial market participants. Funds can choose to align themselves with 1 of 3 Articles under the regulation, with each article bring more obligations to investors and regulators in both terms of sustainable focus and transparency requirements.



ARIA & SFDR


ACME manages both sustainable and non sustainable mandates. Where sustainability is included in a Sub-Fund mandate then that fund would be registered as an Article 8 or 9 Fund under SFDR.

ARIA Capital Management Europe currently manages one sustainable Sub-Fund, the Hanson Sustainable Income Fund (“HSF”) which classifies as an Article 8 financial product in terms of the SFDR, meaning that the Sub-Fund promotes environmental or social characteristics alongside financial objectives.
