About the webinar
While the ESG shift continues to bring exciting opportunities to the asset management industry, managers in Switzerland are also facing significant challenges in interpreting and implementing EU regulations, understanding local market practices both in Switzerland and abroad, and addressing data transparency issues and greenwashing risks.
With this series of short webinars, we aim to bring concise and practical information and guidance to asset managers in Switzerland, helping them tackle the challenges brought by ESG.
In the eighth episode of the series, our focus is on the updated AMAS self-regulation on sustainability. In June 2024, the Federal Council recognised that the AMAS self-regulation adequately aligns with its stance on preventing greenwashing in the financial sector. As a result, the previously existing self-regulatory guidelines have been updated and enhanced, leading to a number of key changes and action points for asset managers in Switzerland.
We will discuss the updates and key changes to the self-regulation, including their practical implications and action points for Swiss asset managers. To delve deeper into these topics, we will be joined by an expert guest panel.
