Overview

The regulatory landscape in Asia is evolving alongside the region’s growing commitment to addressing sustainability challenges. Where Europe has gotten a head start on the sustainability investment advisory journey, there are also unique challenges where the client's experience has been compromised as a result. What can Asia learn from Europe in order to be better? Many banks have jumped headfirst into offering “Sustainability-themed” investment advisory without first understanding their clients’ attitude towards sustainability in investing. In this 1-day course, participants will be equipped with the essential knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of sustainability regulations, and implement a client-centric investment journey that can differentiate the bank from its peers.
