SEC Initiates Review of ESG Fund Names Rule

SEC Initiates Review of ESG Fund Names Rule

“The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced it is reviewing the 2023 Names Rule amendments to reduce reporting and compliance burdens. It has also issued additional FAQs, providing new guidance on environmental, social and governance (ESG)‑themed names, integration strategies, derivatives and temporary departures from 80 percent policies.”

[COMMENTARY] This is yet another policy initiative by the US Administration to downplay the importance of ESG criteria in fund management. For Americans, expect to see many of your funds with ESG in their titles or as part of their mandates, changed.
