Information and materials on sustainability regulations, including the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), can be found below.
- SFDR: Principal adverse impacts ('PAI') statement: SFDR requires Insight to make a “comply or explain” decision as to whether to consider the PAIs of its investment decisions on sustainability factors. Insight Investment Management (Europe) Limited (the “Firm”) has evaluated the requirements of the PAI regime; Insight is supportive of the aims of the regime but will not be considering adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors at a Firm level.

- Insight’s remuneration statement disclosure: SFDR requires an asset manager’s remuneration policy to include information on how it is consistent with the integration of sustainability risks. Read our disclosure.
Responsible investment at Insight Investment
Insight seeks to help our clients achieve their desired outcomes and to reflect their priorities. This lies at the heart of our approach to responsible investment.
We assess and identify, and take responsibility for managing, factors we deem to be financially material (including, but not limited to, sustainability and governance factors) whilst also reflecting client sustainability preferences. Financially material sustainability risks can be ‘direct’ in that they are identifiable, can be more straightforward to quantify, and typically occur over the nearer term, such as pollution fines or product safety issues. They can also be ‘indirect’ and may have multiple pathways to financial relevance; quantification is more complex as they typically stem from broader issues that impact the whole economy over the long term. Examples are extreme heat and water scarcity.
For clients who wish to apply specific criteria to their mandates to help deliver sustainability outcomes, we have developed sustainable investing strategies to enable them to do so.
