Room 704
Overview
Please join us for a roundtable discussion on the GFANZ Index Investing Consultation Paper launch. This consultation paper was developed by the GFANZ Index Investing Workstream, led by LGIM, PKA and SGX Group. It provides voluntary guidance for “transition-informed” (including “transition-potential”, “transition-engaged” and “net zero”) index construction to support real-economy decarbonization.
We will have an open discussion on a number of topics, including the background and rationale for the consultation paper, existing and proposed categories of “transition-informed” indices, how the guidance may be voluntarily applied, the differentiation between equities and fixed income as well as primary vs secondary market activities, and more.
