Fund selection gets a new RI lens

By: Joseph Naayem, CFA

Following the complete overhaul of the UNPRI reporting and assessment framework, it will now be mandatory for all signatories to disclose more prescriptive and granular data about their responsible investment practices.  

In this report we explore how this dataset is enriched with the inclusion of sustainability outcomes, increased scope of engagement across asset classes, and widened scrutiny of mainstream assets and alternative investments. This comparability and standardisation offers new opportunities for fund allocators to rethink established manager selection processes with significant implications for business models across the funds value chain.
