For immediate release, Brussels - EFAMA welcomes the adoption by Council of its general approach to the AIFMD and UCITS reviews today. We commend the swift progress made by the French Presidency in this regard and its thorough approach to the review.
For immediate release
Brussels, 16 June 2022 - The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) has today published its International Quarterly Statistical Release regarding the developments in the worldwide investment fund industry during the first quarter of 2022.
EFAMA welcomes the opportunity to respond to the EC’s targeted consultation on the functioning of the ESG rating market in the EU and on the consideration of ESG factors in credit ratings. Please note that our response covers, at the same time, ESG ratings and ESG data providers, as the demand for ESG “raw” data has been increasing at a steady pace. The use of ESG data has also rapidly shifted from a narrow set of investment products to being prolific across all investment products.
Highlights of EFAMA's key achievements from June 2021- June 2022
Brussels - The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) has today published its European Quarterly Statistical Release for Q1 of 2022.
3 June 2022 - EFAMA, ICSA and MFA (the Associations) have read IOSCO’s Feedback Statement on “Market Data in the Secondary Equity Market” following the IOSCO consultation in 2021, and warmly welcome its conclusions.
The Associations would like to draw attention towards the executive summary in particular, where a number of valuable insights and recommendations are presented. For example, we fully support the statement below, though we would suggest an important addition:
Net sales of long-term UCITS turn negative for the first time since March 2020
EFAMA replied to a specific question on moving to stage 3 for the determination of the liquidity assessment of bonds.
EFAMA responds to the opportunity to provide feedback to the Article 8 Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (‘taxonomy’) draft delegated act, which the European Commission published for consultation on 7 May. We highlight that the provisions on investee companies in this delegated act will serve as the primary source of input for asset managers´ own disclosures on taxonomy compliance at both product and entity levels.
EFAMA has published its response to the European Commission’s targeted consultation on the supervisory convergence and the Single Rule Book, focusing on three areas for improvement.
The European Find and Asset Management Association appreciates the opportunity to submit its views to the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) on the Joint Consultation Paper (CP) regarding draft regulatory technical standards (RTS) for taxonomy-related sustainability disclosures pursuant to Article 8(4), 9(6) and 11(5) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (Taxonomy Regulation or TR).
EFAMA replied to IASB’s Request for Information on the Post-Implementation Review of IFRS 10, 11 and 12. We are delighted to see an investment entity within the funds industry being acknowledged and catered for in IFRS. The development of the consolidation standards was a very welcomed development in the asset management world.
