Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)
On 10 March 2020, the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) came into effect. This regulation obliges managers of investment funds, such as Mahler Capital, to be transparent about how they integrate sustainability risks in their investment decision-making process. Sustainability risks relate to both environmental and social issues, such as respect for human rights and combating corruption and bribery.
Although Mahler Capital supports a more sustainable society, our funds do not focus specifically on sustainability or social aspects. Therefore, our funds are not classified as funds that promote environmental or social features (“light green” according to Article 8 SFDR) nor as funds with sustainable investments as their target objective (“dark green” according to Article 9 SFDR).
Main adverse impact on sustainability
Mahler Capital does not take into account the most significant negative effects of investment decisions on sustainability factors.
The reasons for this are:
- Relevance of SFDR indicators: The indicators used within the SFDR to measure the negative impact on sustainability are primarily focused on investments in companies, real estate and government bonds. These indicators do not fit well with crypto-assets.
- Energy consumption of crypto-assets: Although energy consumption is a factor in the production of some crypto-assets, there are currently no other relevant aspects identified concerning negative impacts on sustainability. In addition, reliable data on the energy consumption of various crypto-assets is limited available or only obtainable at high costs.
- No material factor in our strategy: Energy consumption plays no significant role in Mahler Capital’s investment decisions.
Mahler Capital strives to invest transparently and responsibly, but given the nature of crypto-assets, it is not fitting to integrate the SFDR indicators into our policy at this time.
