AIMA APAC ESG Roundtable

Singapore

We would like to invite you to join us for an exclusive, online roundtable discussion, the first of several we are planning in partnership with Simmons & Simmons to look at Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) developments in the industry.

In this first session, we have gathered a small group of key ESG specialists and experts in the asset management industry across Asia. The discussion will be focused on a draft Primer we are preparing for Asset Managers in Asia, to provide an overview on responsible investment developments and regulations in EU and Asia. We would like to invite you to share your views on the direction and content of the Primer based on your extensive experience in this area.  

Over the past decade we have witnessed a significant increase in concern about, and attention to, environmental issues. A realisation has grown that, if an alternative, more sustainable path is to be found, it would only be through integrated action on an international scale.

Given that ESG issues are increasingly prioritised by companies, global and local policymakers, and institutional investors, Responsible Investment has become one of the most significant and fast-growing trends in the hedge fund industry. The Primer will focus on how ESG developments might directly impact the asset management industry, looking at the following topics:

  • Key ESG concepts and taxonomy
  • EU Disclosure Regulation and the extra-territorial implications for Asia asset managers
  • Emerging ESG developments in Singapore, Hong Kong, and China
  • Developing an ESG strategy and roadmap – Checklist for Asset Managers
