Our work in this area is completely dominated by the implementation of the new UK Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (“SDR”) and investment labels rules and we are working fast to support members with all outstanding issues on the road to implementation and compliance with the new regime.
Finally, on the investment operations side, we are pleased to report that that the transition to T+1 settlement in the US on the 28th May went well, not least because of the significant efforts of the IA and our member firms to prepare for it. Attention now turns to the UK/EU transitions and the IA is engaging with members to surface the collective industry position on the most suitable timeline and outstanding challenges to overcome.
Further details on all our policy work are covered in the following sections. We hope that members continue to find this policy report beneficial and resourceful.
