Off-model sustainability question enables the collection of investor's preferences that are not tied to the sustainability alignment model (scoring model). This feature is designed to allow wealth managers to tailor sustainability questions that meet compliance rules and align closely with investor preferences.

How off-model questions can cover wide range of business needs: 1. The limited availability of Taxonomy alignment data restricts advisors' ability to precisely map investors' preferences to suggested portfolios. To facilitate the recording of investors' preferences until more reliable data becomes available, the following question can be configured: 🍃 Question: Do you prefer investing in financial instruments that cause no significant harm and contribute to the transformation to a sustainable economy, even if detailed alignment data is currently limited? 2. Mandate for portfolio management: collect and assess the client's sustainability preferences during the mandate agreement, discuss any limitations with the client, and record the client’s final decision in the mandate:

🍃 Question: As we define your investment strategy within the portfolio management mandate, if we encounter limitations in meeting your preferences regarding sustainable investing, would you like to adapt your preferences? Your decision will be recorded in the mandate.

3. Provide exceptional service: Identify investor needs, and ensure that advisors have given the client the opportunity to express any preferences they may have regarding their investments, even if the assessment does not explicitly ask for it: 🍃 Question: Do you have any other preferences regarding governance practices, social, and environmental issues that we have not addressed? 4. Record the client’s understanding of sustainable investing to ensure they are fully informed of their choices. This documentation supports compliance needs and allows for internal audits, helping to track the education provided to investors and refine your understanding of the developing sustainability knowledge and trends among your clients:

🍃 Question: As we discuss investment options, please assess your level of knowledge regarding sustainable investing? Example alternatives: a) I'm new to this b) Familiar with key concepts c) Confident in making sustainable investment decisions

To enhance transparency and informed decision-making, we are introducing custom product attributes within the Sustainability Alignment Table on the Proposal page. Product attributes provide the possibility to display specific data in the table in the form of a text, number, percentage, or binary true/false value.

This feature targets the gap experienced by advisors who prefer to point to specific sustainability metrics, such as Article 8/9, Morningstar Sustainable Asset true/false etc., at the end of the advisory process. Advisors assessing investors' preferences without leveraging the scoring model can now show only product attributes in this table. Advisors who align investors' preferences using the scoring model can now add instrument-specific sustainability data next to alignment scores. Configured data attributes will appear on the right-most side of the table and provide a clear and comprehensive view of each product's alignment with sustainability goals.

Investors' sustainability preferences and portfolio's sustainability performance is now visible in the Model Portfolio work mode. This functionality is designed to give advisors immediate insight into how well the funds in the portfolio align with investor sustainability preferences. With the integration of sustainability alignment tables in the Model Portfolio, advisors can efficiently assess whether instrument adjustments are needed before proceeding to the Proposal stage.

The alignment table supports also custom product attributes enabling the presentation of sustainability raw data, such as SFDR article number, sustainable investments percentage, etc., to create more transparency and simplify the decision-making and enhance client satisfaction.

Please reach out to our Delivery Manager if you wish to activate the Sustainability Alignment functionality within the Model Portfolio.
