Transparency of sustainability risk policies

Pursuant to EU Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (the “SFDR”) Article 3, financial market participants shall publish on their websites information about their policies on the integration of sustainability risks in their investment decision‐making process.

Sustainability risk is defined as an environmental, social, or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could have a material negative impact on the value of investments. The materiality of sustainability risks is determined by the likelihood, magnitude, and time horizon of the risk materializing. Sustainability risks can be understood as a subcategory of traditional risk types (e.g. credit, market, liquidity, operational, and strategy risk) and are identified and managed in the context of risk-management processes. Since sustainability risks differ between asset classes and investment styles, they are defined at the portfolio level.

In addition to the risk-management processes, Credit Suisse Asset Management has established a Sustainable Investing Policy that specifies for investment funds following a sustainable investing strategy, how to integrate ESG factors into the investment process in order to identify sustainability-related opportunities and to reduce sustainability risks further.

Review of disclosures

SFDR Article 12 requires financial market participants to ensure that any information published in accordance with Article 3, 5, or 10 is kept up to date. Where a financial market participant amends such information, a clear explanation of such an amendment shall be published on the same website.

The following table explains the amendments on disclosures related to SFDR Articles 3 and 5. Information regarding Art. 10 is available on ubs.com/funds.
