CESGA Masterclass | EFFAS Webinar | 30 June
What makes a well-structured sustainability fund?
What distinguishes a genuinely well-structured sustainability fund from one that simply carries a sustainability label?
In this CESGA Masterclass, Roland Kölsch, Managing Director of F.I.R.S.T. and one of Europe’s leading experts in sustainable investment standards, will explore the key elements of sustainable fund construction.
The session will examine how investors can assess sustainability funds ratings and claims, covering topics such as ESG integration, exclusions, engagement, impact, data challenges, and evolving regulatory expectations.
Participants will gain practical insights into how sustainable funds are designed, evaluated, and compared in today’s investment landscape.
Thank you for your continued engagement with EFFAS. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events.
