What is TCFD?
The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) is a group set up by the Financial Stability Board which published a number of recommendations for corporates to disclose risks related to climate change. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) adopted these recommendations as the baseline for reporting by listed companies and by asset managers, life insurers and FCA-regulated pension providers.
Requirements for fund managers
The FCA’s Policy Statement (PS21/24) and the ESG sourcebook sets out the recommended disclosures at both an entity and product/fund level, with metrics and targets aligned to reaching net zero by 2050. These disclosures will need to be published on the company website and other appropriate client communications such as the annual report, annual pension statement or other periodic client reports. TCFD disclosures will likely be incorporated into the new Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) which are expected to be published in 2023.
