Backing up your ESG claims

Compliance teams ‘front and center’ on ESG.

ESG: Compliance teams are the heart of your firm’s ESG programs. After all, what good is having ESG goals and policies if no one understands or abides by them? The SEC just handed BNY Mellon a (small) fine for supposed greenwashing, and new disclosures are going to be required under a proposed SEC rule. Jen Banzaca reports from the Private Fund Compliance Forum earlier this week, where compliance pros discussed how to keep your firm on its ESG track.

Fees & Expenses: Our annual Fees & Expenses Survey is live, and as always, we’d love your participation! Here’s the link to take the brief survey, which has a provisional deadline of mid-June. Your answers are confidential and you’ll receive a complimentary copy of the final report.
