EFAMA responds to ESMA's Consultation Paper - From only 20 ELTIFs at the start of the review of the ELTIF Regulation in late 2021 to 95 as of August 2023, the launch of ELTIF products has significantly increased over the last three years, with further market growth expected in the years to come.
We strongly encourage ESMA to uphold the positive momentum of reforms initiated at Level 1 and guarantee that the requirements established by the draft RTS are conducive to the ongoing success of the ELTIF product.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is currently finalising technical rules on the functioning of European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs). It will be crucial to the future success of ELTIFs that these rules are supportive and not limiting.

EFAMA has joined together with the European Sustainable Investment Forum (Eurosif), the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) and over 90 investors and financial market participants, to call on the European Commission to uphold the integrity and ambition of the first set of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
The draft ESRS Delegated Act presents several potential implications for investors and entails major inconsistencies across the Sustainable Finance legislative framework. In our policy paper we focus on the alignment of ESG reporting on two crucial areas: (1) the requirements of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), notably the Principal Adverse Impact indicators (PAIs), and (2) the Transition Plans and targets.
EFAMA today has released its position paper and joined together with the European Sustainable Investment Forum (Eurosif), the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) and over 90 investors and financial market participants, to call on the European Commission to uphold the integrity and ambition of the first set of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
EFAMA on Tuesday responded to the European Supervisory Authorities' (ESAs) joint consultation setting out various regulatory technical standards (RTS) for the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). They propose new sustainability indicators in relation to principle adverse impacts (PAIs) and additional disclosures to the ‘do no significant harm’ principle, as well as some other modifications.
EFAMA is pleased to publish the revised version of its PRIIPs KID Q&A. The document aims at offering continued support to Euopean fund managemers and enable a common understanding of PRIIPs KID requirements.
EFAMA wholeheartedly supports ESMA’s objective of ensuring a consistent and harmonised application of the MiFID II product governance requirements. In our response to their consultation on the topic, we raised the following points:
EFAMA welcomes the European Securities and Market Authority’s continuous commitment to creating a single market for investment funds, confirmed by the draft regulatory standards currently under consideration. These RTS/ITS would further harmonise information that asset managers should provide to their national competent authorities before marketing or managing an investment fund on a cross-border basis, thus facilitating intra-EU product distribution.
EFAMA welcomes the OECD's work on Schedule C: Exclusion of Revenues and profits from Regulated Financial Services from the scope of Pillar One, in particular the amendments to the definition of “Asset Manager", licensing asset management as a business, the level of regulaton and the activities list.
EFAMA shares the urgent need to improve the consistency and comparability of sustainability reporting at a global level. Therefore, we welcome the opportunity to respond to the ISSB consultation on the Exposure Drafts on “General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability Related Financial Information” (IFRS S1) and on “Climate-Related Disclosures” (IFRS S2).
