Our Managing Partner, Michael Mosimann, and Senior Associate, Marta Gajos, from our London office shared their perspectives on the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and on what impacts it has on the allocation of capital at the SECA webinar on Capital Deployment & Regulatory Challenges for PE/VC Article 8 and 9 Funds.

Key Takeaways

  • Even after four years, questions remain around SFDR and the anticipated update is awaited;
  • Implementing reporting systems on the level of a portfolio company to get the data for the fund’s own reporting remains challenging, in particular from a practical perspective;
  • Such reporting systems do not only need to capture data related to the sustainability goal, but as far as Article 9 funds are concerned also to all other potential goals, at least on a high level;
  • Enforcement of the reporting obligations is challenging, which is why the appropriate structuring and ensuring a like-minded investor group becomes more important.
