Align Sustainable Fund Names with Requirements
The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) requires fund managers to fully align their documentation, internal monitoring systems, and deviation-handling protocols with the European Guidelines on Sustainability-Related Fund Names (FNG). The regulator mandates that all investment exclusions be explicitly and completely disclosed in precontractual documents, that monitoring frameworks continuously verify ongoing compliance, and that portfolio deviations be addressed promptly to safeguard investor interests. Implementing these measures will prevent reputational risks, ensure verifiable sustainability claims, and maintain market transparency ahead of the upcoming SFDR review.
