• What should investors  consider and asset managers disclose on ESG and climate-related features in investment products?
• How should investors approach the CFA Institute Exposure Draft standards and what are the implications of other policy developments on ESG disclosures in investment products?

The discussion will consider potential changes voiced by leading policy makers and institutions with a global view.
