Sustainable Funds Claims
Have You Been Misled by a Sustainable Fund?
With the growing popularity of sustainable investing, many have chosen funds promising to align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. However, not all funds live up to these claims. If your sustainable fund has failed regulatory standards or misrepresented its ESG credentials, you may be eligible to make a claim.
Common Issues with Sustainable Funds
Recent regulatory changes, such as the UK’s Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) and the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), have highlighted issues within the sustainable investment market. Key problems include:
- Greenwashing: Funds exaggerating or falsely claiming their sustainability credentials.
- Misrepresentation: Investors being misled by promises of sustainability that were never fulfilled.
- Failure to Meet Standards: Many funds now fail to comply with stricter SDR and SFDR criteria, requiring them to remove sustainability claims.
Investors may feel angry and betrayed, having often accepted lower returns and higher fees in good faith, believing they were supporting genuinely sustainable investments—only to discover that these funds are not sustainable at all.
How Do You Know If You Have a Claim?
You may have a claim if:
- You were promised sustainable performance, but the fund failed to deliver on its ESG commitments.
- The fund was marketed as sustainable but now fails to meet regulatory standards and has been reclassified or had its sustainability claims removed.
- You suffered financial losses due to misrepresentation, such as transferring investments to a fund based on false sustainability claims.
- You accepted lower returns on the expectation of supporting genuine sustainability efforts, only to discover that the fund didn’t meet those standards.
Legal Grounds for a Sustainable Fund Claim
There are several legal avenues to seek redress:
- Misrepresentation: Claims under the Misrepresentation Act 1967 if you were misled by false or exaggerated ESG promises.
- Breach of Contract: If the fund’s documentation guaranteed certain sustainability metrics that were not met, you may have grounds for a claim.
- Greenwashing: Consumer protection laws can hold fund managers accountable for misleading marketing practices.
