ESG and Climate-Related Risks: A Primer for Fund Managers in Hong Kong

The sustainable investing market has experienced remarkable growth in recent years and this global phenomenon looks set to continue, including in Asia. Increased opportunities in ESG related investments bring about legal and regulatory challenges for financial institutions. In particular, the trend of increased regulation worldwide means asset managers have to comply with a variety of new regimes and taxonomies introduced by different regions. In this interactive event, we will provide an overview on the latest ESG trends and regulatory developments with particular focus on the enhancements to the Hong Kong SFC’s Fund Manager Code of Conduct that will take effect later this year. We look forward to you joining us for an exchange of ideas on this exciting topic.
