The cabinet formation is now in full swing. A good time to talk to parties about points that are important to our sector.
Therefore, we sent the forming parties a letter in which we raised two concerns and a fact sheet. What is DUFAS and what does it do? How large is the group of Dutch citizens who build up assets directly or indirectly through asset managers? And how can asset managers contribute to sustainability?
The Omnibus dust has not yet settled, or the European Commission has already published its next major proposal in late November, for revisions to the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). The SFDR was one of the first building blocks of the European Sustainable Finance Framework in 2019. Because it regulated transparency around sustainable financial products by law, the SFDR made an important contribution to the further integration of sustainability into financial products and services. In practice, however, imperfections soon came to light. So it was high time to better align the SFDR with the needs of customers and providers of financial products.
