European Commission Publishes Finalised Regulatory Technical Standards Under The SFDR

Key Points to Note:

• The European Commission has adopted a Commission Delegated Regulation under the SFDR

• The Commission Delegated Regulation sets down disclosure obligations relevant to Article 8 Funds and Article 9 Funds as well as to those financial market participants publishing PAI reports under Article 4 of the SFDR

Earlier today, the European Commission adopted and published the eagerly-awaited regulatory technical standards under the SFDR (Commission Delegated Regulation). This follows a significant body of drafting work carried out by the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) in the course of 2021 which culminated in the publication of two reports containing draft regulatory technical standards under the SFDR in February 2021¹ and subsequently in October 2021².
