Earlier today, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed two sets of rules that will help shed light on the practices of investment funds and advisors that incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment factors into their strategies.

The U.S. Impact Investing Alliance is encouraged by the SEC's latest actions to help equip investors with clear, comparable and reliable information about the true nature of their investments and improve overall transparency and accountability across the capital markets.

The Alliance looks forward to reviewing the proposals in depth and providing comments regarding specific provisions and potential areas for strengthening the final rule.
