Clarity AI is a state-of-the-art sustainability assessment tool that aims to quantify ESG characteristics from negative exclusions to impact, using seven providers to peel back what each fund is investing in at a constituent stock level. This innovation arms us with our own raw data to make sure the funds in our industry are accurately presenting their sustainability credentials, and offers us a platform to engage with the funds in which we invest for our clients.
The long-term goal is to increase transparency of impact generation and ESG credentials for our clients, as well as incrementally increasing the sustainable credentials of our portfolios. In a constantly evolving regulatory landscape, it is crucial to seek clarification and consultation from an expert in this field which is what we have sourced in Clarity AI. We are confident that in becoming one of the first DFMs in the market to use this technology, we are leading the way in sustainable investing.
Our suite of TAM ESG sustainable investment portfolios are risk profiled by leading risk-profiling assessment tool, Dynamic Planner, which enables advisers to better match their clients to the most suitable investment portfolio for their needs.
