Enhancing SFDR Compliance and Upgrading to Article 9 Status – Form

An asset manager aimed to upgrade its fund from an Article 6 to an Article 9 classification under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). The goal was to integrate sustainability objectives into its investment strategy which required transparent investor communications, and approval from the Financial Market Authority (FMA).

Aspect Advisory was engaged to conduct a comprehensive regulatory assessment, refine sustainability disclosures, support communication updates to reflect the fund’s new sustainability positioning and  secure approval from the regulatory authorities for the reclassification.
