SFDR PRINCIPAL ADVERSE IMPACT SOLUTION

Measure your investments against regulatory defined Principal Adverse Impact metrics

Assess and report on the Principal Adverse Impacts of your products and portfolios

ISS ESG’s SFDR PAI Solution enables Financial Market Participants to measure the performance of their investments against the regulatory defined PAI indicators and metrics in order to comply with the new disclosure obligations.

  • SFDR Level 2 compliance and PAI reporting obligations
  • Security selection for product development and portfolio construction
  • Insight into vital ESG metrics which support informed voting practices and engagement activities

PORTFOLIO REPORTING – KEY FEATURES

Two reports available at the click of a button, designed to help support Level 1 and Level 2 SFDR compliance obligations as well as reporting against the specific PAI metrics at both an entity and product level.

Report at Both Entity and Portfolio Levels and Provide an Overview of Individual Metrics

The SFDR Annual Average report and SFDR report enable Financial Market Participants to address the SFDR entity level reporting requirements that came into effect in January 2023. The SFDR Annual Average Report provides the portfolio level values based on the average of the portfolio’s constituents each quarter, and the PAI  indicator assessments and EVIC values as of Q4 of the reference year. The report enables investors to report against the PAI indicators at a specific point in time, especially in the context of SFDR product level reporting requirements applicable as of January 2023, but also for SFDR entity level reporting to capture fiscal year end EVIC and PAI impact.

Intuitive Data Visualisation

Easily interpretable charts that can be used for website, pre-contractual and periodic disclosures such as key investor information documents and prospectuses (KIID). Our reports also includes coverage per specific PAI metric.

Transparency on Sustainability Risks and Consideration of Principal Adverse Impacts

The ESG Rating and Carbon Risk Rating Portfolio-Benchmark comparison charts can be used to measure and report on sustainability risks. The Portfolio-Benchmark comparison of the overall scores from our Norm-Based Research and Sustainability Development Goals (SDG) solution can be used to support the construction of PAIs policies and statements, beyond the specific indicators and metrics specified within the Level 2 Regulatory Technical Standards.

Raw Values for Regulatory Compliance

Data has also been included in tabular format to allow the relevant numbers to be easily visible. This is particularly important when aggregating data and the subsequent reporting to meet regulatory obligations.
