Webinar – Preparing for MAS Transition Guidelines for Asset Managers

Organizer

Event Details

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) has released three sets of Guidelines on Environmental Risk Management – Transition Planning​ (“TPGs”) to strengthen how financial institutions (“FIs”) manage climate-related risks within their business models and investment portfolios.

The Guidelines set out the supervisory expectations of MAS for banks, insurers, fund managers and asset managers (collectively, “FIs”) to manage the transition and physical risks they and their portfolios face from climate change.

The Guidelines build upon 2020 MAS Environmental Risk frameworks, shifting the focus from high-level sustainability commitments to requiring the development of practical, long-term transition plans. These plans proactively address climate-related risks across business strategy, portfolios, and governance.

Our presenters from Matter will discuss the implications specifically for asset managers.

Join us to learn:

• What are the key requirements and how TPGs build upon the 2020 ERM Guidelines
• What your gap/risk assessment should cover
• Transition planning and portfolio alignment with MAS expectations
• Leveraging data to identify companies with credible transition pathways

Webinar link will be emailed to you upon registration.
