Application date of the Guidelines:
3 months after the date of their publication on ESMA’s website in all EU official languages (expected for Q3 2024).
New funds created after the date of application of the Guidelines: immediate compliance required.
Funds existing before the date of application of the Guidelines: compliance at the latest 6 months after the date of application of the Guidelines (expected for Q2 2025).
Fund names:
The Guidelines apply when a fund uses an ESG or sustainability-related term in its name.
Categories of words triggering a compliance with the Guidelines are identified with a non-exhaustive list of examples.
Sustainable requirements:
The use of an ESG or sustainability-related name triggers mandatory quantitative investment requirements and exclusion policies in the fund.
