The ESG Structured Products Charter drafted by the industry associations AFPDB, AMAFI and FBF is currently being finalised. It aims to provide a common framework with specific requirements for structured products that have ESG characteristics or objectives. It will enable issuers that adhere to the charter (on a voluntary basis) to communicate transparently about the sustainability of these products to their distributors, in order to assist distributors in implementing their product governance obligations. The Charter is not intended to be mentioned or outsourced to end investors.
An event will soon be organised to present the Charter to AMAFI members.
