Session overview

Objectives

The roundtable aims to assess the current state of the Commission’s proposal and to discuss the relevance, operational feasibility and coherence of the proposed new fund classification, reporting simplifications and transition arrangements.

Points of discussion

  1. What is the evaluation of the criteria and minimum requirements linked to the 3 categories: “ESG basics, sustainable and transition”? Will these categories attract individual investors’ interest? What are the difficulties anticipated for the transition of the current Article 8 and Article 9 funds to the new categories? What are the possibles solutions to smooth it?

  2. What is the current state of the discussions on the proposed simplification, including the PAIs and the end of the obligation of reporting at the entity level?

  3. Are there other issues which have not been addressed up to now and which need to be solved in the near future?
