SUMMARY:ESMA Webinar on Sustainable Finance - Fund Portfolio Networks: A Climate Risk Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Within the European financial sector\, investment funds are more exposed to climate-sensitive economic sectors than banks\, insurers and pension funds. However\, few investment fund climate-related financial risk assessments have been conducted. ESMA has made a first attempt to fill this gap\, using a data set of EUR 8 trillion of European investment fund portfolio holdings. Funds whose portfolios are tilted towards more polluting assets (brown funds) distribute their portfolio over a larger number of companies than funds with cleaner portfolios (green funds). \nThis apparent diversification hides a concentration risk: brown funds are more closely connected with each other (have more similar portfolios) than green fund portfolios\, which tend to ‘herd’ less (have less similar portfolios to those of other green funds). This suggests that widespread climate-related financial shocks are likely to disproportionately affect brown funds. This is confirmed by a preliminary climate risk asset valuation exercise included in ESMA TRV No 1 2021. \n​During the webinar you will see a presentation of the article and its findings. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

SUMMARY:AIMA Webinar Sanctions Risk: Keeping up with Regulatory Expectations and Best Practices for Asset Managers
DESCRIPTION:Asset managers have long grappled with the difficulty that sanctions pose to the investment process. Historically\, comprehensive country-level sanctions were easier to screen for than those resulting from an indirect relationship with a sanctioned entity. However\, the proliferation of sanctions at all levels\, coupled with the complexity of corporate and investment structures\, have made even the most obvious cases harder to spot in recent years. The nexus to a sanctioned entity often is the devil in the details. Your investment may be closer than you think\, and penalties can apply on a strict liability basis. \nOn April 12\, AIMA will host a discussion with Howard Mendelsohn\, Chief Client Officer of Kharon\, a leading research and data analytics firm focused on sanctions at all levels\, in all jurisdictions. We will dive into the regulatory landscape\, review case examples\, and discuss best practices for keeping your firm safe. \nJoin us for this timely and informative webinar. You may submit questions in advance or live during the session. \nSpeakers: \n\nHoward Mendelsohn\, Chief Client Officer\, Kharon\nSuzan Rose\, Senior Advisor\, Government & Regulatory Affairs\, AIMA
