We are delighted to invite you to join the Asset Management Series webinar co-hosted by CFA Society Hong Kong & KPMG – Getting ahead of the curve – climate-related reporting under TCFD on Tuesday, 13 December 2022.

The local regulators have been at the forefront of local and global efforts to support the development of green and sustainable finance and the transition to a greener economy. Among the most significant developments are the steps the Securities & Futures Commission of Hong Kong (“SFC”) is taking towards mandating climate-related disclosures aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework by 2025.

Key among the updates to the regulatory regime is the requirement for climate-related disclosures, sustainability reporting, and the potential for new carbon market opportunities.

Practical questions for asset managers include: Does your firm have a framework in place to prepare for reporting? Are you keeping accurate records of your own data to ensure you meet the requirements? Is your firm up to date on building an appropriate business model for carbon markets?

In this upcoming webinar, we will explore and discuss the following topics to address the key questions and concerns:

∙             Overview of TCFD requirements and what they mean for asset managers in Hong Kong

∙             How firms should adopt changes to comply with TCFD in respect of the new requirements

∙             Practical approach and solution in getting prepared; and how to prepare for the transition
