In Singapore, the Monetary Authority of Singapore published new guidelines on Environmental Risk Management for Asset Managers on 8th December 2020. These guidelines set out MAS’ expectations on environmental risk management for all fund management companies and real estate investment trust managers. Guidelines were set out to enhance fund management companies’ and real estate investment trust managers’ management of environmental risk.
The guidelines cover:
– Governance and strategy
– Research and portfolio construction
– Portfolio risk management
– Stewardship
– Disclosure of environmental risk information
MAS expects an asset manager’s approach to managing and disclosing environmental risk to mature as the methodologies for assessing, monitoring and reporting such risk evolve. An asset manager should implement these Guidelines in a way that is commensurate with the size and nature of its activities, including the investment focus and strategy of its funds/mandates. For avoidance of doubt, the Guidelines shall not prohibit or restrict an asset manager from complying with applicable laws and discharging their fiduciary duties and other legal obligations to their customers. -
