CP 41 Socially responsible investing disclosure

Released 19 December 2002. Comments closed 28 February 2003.

Socially responsible investing (SRI) is a new and growing area of the investment market. Good disclosure practices are essential if consumers with SRI related goals are to be in a position to make informed choices between products.

We outline arguments for and against ½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþproducing guidelines on SRI disclosure in product disclosure statements (PDSs).

The main arguments for ½ñÈÕÈÈÃÅʼþguidelines are:

  • providing industry with greater certainty about how it can meet this new disclosure obligation; and
  • providing consumers with better disclosure to enhance their ability to ensure that the product they purchase matches any SRI goals they may have.
