Advisers and planners are all on different journeys with the extent to which they advise on sustainable or environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments.

For firms that include sustainable/ESG investing as central to or part of their process, it can be hard to understand what is truly ESG and what is not.

New rules under both Consumer Duty and the FCA’s upcoming Sustainability Disclosure Requirements mean that testing and evidencing providers’ ESG claims and credentials will become increasingly important.

To help with this, Analyser has partnered with ESG Accord, an independent compliance firm specialising in all things ESG and sustainability.

As an Analyser user, you can now search for and find MPS ranges that have been assessed by ESG Accord.

If you want to dive into the detail, from Analyser you can access ESG Accord’s full MPS database by logging in or registering. You can also document the relevant findings as part of your Analyser due diligence reports.

ESG Accord director Lee Coates says: “Advisers need to be able to analyse the market with confidence and make fund selections that meet each client’s preferences and objectives."

“We are delighted to be partnering with the lang cat and to be supporting advisers by providing a free to access ESG and Sustainable MPS database, complementing the data provided by Analyser.”
