About this episode

Late last year the Financial Conduct Authority announced it would be forming a working group to look at how its SDR rules on greenwashing would affect advisers rather than publishing rules on the issue.

In this week's podcast FT Adviser deputy editor Damian Fantato is joined by Matthew Connell, director of policy and public affairs at the Chartered Insurance Institute, and Luke Murray, consultant at Bovill, to discuss what the rules on ESG are for advisers at the moment, what gaps there are in those rules and what the advice working group might focus on.

The FT Adviser Podcast is the podcast for financial advisers, brought to you by FT Adviser. Each week, we are joined by guests from the industry to discuss the week in news and pressing industry issues.



Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
