The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) imposes on investment companies the publication of sustainability related profiles of the portfolio creation process. This obligation seeks to enhance the information provided to customers on financial products with regard to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria. In order to understand to which extent this information is relevant for investment decisions, the reliability of the classification among funds with a different ESG focus (articles 6, 8, and 9) is studied from a financial perspective and verified through a hierarchical cluster analysis on principal components of the performance measures of various funds distributed in Europe.

Abstract
The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) imposes on investment companies the publication of sustainability related profiles of the portfolio creation process. This obligation seeks to enhance the information provided to customers on financial products with regard to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria. In order to understand to which extent this information is relevant for investment decisions, the reliability of the classification among funds with a different ESG focus (articles 6, 8, and 9) is studied from a financial perspective and verified through a hierarchical cluster analysis on principal components of the performance measures of various funds distributed in Europe.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
