What is Draft

Why has the Commission considered esg taxonomy Draft Regulations to require more candor disclosure on banks' cost of funds and the possibility of charging customers a fee for their services on the basis of such disclosures. The draft regulations appear to go even further in its approach to both disclosures and fees.


Under the legislation, banks are now required to give customers a "Bible of the risks, costs and other terms" of their investment products. The terms are to be listed on the bank’s website in a form suitable to investors. The terms include, for example esg taxonomy


• VAT at the rate applicable to an investor

• A view of the risk aspects and the range of potential losses on cash flows at different risks and investment types

• The disclosure of prices and Sort percentages in relation to cash flows at different risk and investment types

• The disclosure of fees and discounts in relation to different investments and options

• An understanding of elements of short and long term performance.


The proposed regulations do not contain specific guidance on the cost and timing of disclosed esg taxonomy costs or fees. The complexity of the regulations required to be revealed to customers requires a high degree of competence in financial markets and compliance. We suspect that the Commission is, thus, developing financial products and standards that, as far as we can see, go far beyond what has been required of financial managers already. In addition, they do not address many of the complex issues that are likely to arise as the commission continues to attempt to provide guidance on permissible terms for these new products.


• VAT at the rate applicable to an investor esg taxonomy. A view of the risk aspects and the range of potential losses on cash flows at different risks and investment types

• The disclosure of prices and sorted percentages in relation to cash flows at different risk and investment types

• The disclosure of fees and discounts in relation to cash flows at different risk and investment types

• The understanding of elements of short and long term performance.


Does the term fees have any particular meaning?


One of the proposed modifications, and most likely the most controversial esg taxonomy  is to apply fees to cost of funds, even where current and preferred rates are being charged. This has received criticism from the commission for lack of clear recourse in case the fund issuer provides wrong fees. The proposed solution could also cause fund investors to incur more costs.


Fees could be imposed on variable products or on exchange traded funds. They could also be applied to investment style products that are unsuitable for their intended use. Looking through the proposed regulations we see some of these proposals:


• Different rules for small funds esg taxonomy

New rules on index linked products

• New rules for funds charged with an independent fee

• New rules for funds or product markets

• New rules for funds' products


All of the proposed rules are newspaper rules, and we use the terms when we prepare regulatory reports. We believe the basis that education and information on safety and professional conduct are in place enough to deter attempted fraud and manipulation. We must remain vigilant.


It is possible that different companies provide for the same level of financial stability, liquidity position and competitive position in the esg taxonomy industry.


It is vital to consider all of these factors, but there is one key element that is rarely considered, which is whether a company has the right corporate governance to meet the required criteria. It is not difficult to follow the suing rules in relation to retail investments. We expect that any corporate investigation will disclose all of the facts relating to that investigation. The investor then assesses whether this information meets the esg taxonomy charges.


That is to say that a corporate investigation is no substitute for a review of the particular facts. A corporate charge review carries additional information, often often not included in the report and rarely gleaned from within, that may be relevant to the investors. The larger the charges, the more Delivery Value and PhD are usually critical to the decision to invest in a company.


It should be borne in mind that delivery charges are based on intrinsic value, which is established in narrow circumstances by direct discounted rate of
esg taxonomy capital.
