    Description

    Introducing the Sustainable Investment Advisory & Integration Team

    At Schroders, we are committed to delivering exceptional investment performance to our clients through active decision making. We believe that sustainability risks and industrial trends are interconnected, and it is crucial for investment teams to navigate these challenges effectively. That's where our Sustainable Investment Advisory & Integration team comes in.

    Supporting Sustainable Investment Excellence

    The Advisory & Integration team, part of our central Sustainable Investment team, plays a vital role in supporting our firm-wide sustainable investment efforts. Our team is dedicated to:

  • Acting as a valuable resource and center of sustainable investment knowledge for the entire firm.
  • Providing guidance to enhance investment decisions by integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) analysis and data.
  • Assisting our client-facing teams and clients in achieving their sustainable investment goals.
  • Operating as a trusted end-to-end partner in product development.

    • Comprehensive Support and Collaboration

    To fulfill our purpose, we engage in various activities, including:

  • Offering ongoing support to over 60 investment desks within our business.
  • Sharing insights and outputs from other parts of the Sustainable Investment team, such as research, models, and data, with clients and investors.
  • Meeting the needs of our clients through proactive communication, responsive assistance, and comprehensive reporting.

    • Staying Ahead of Regulatory Requirements

    In recent years, regulators have placed a growing emphasis on sustainable investment practices. At Schroders, we are committed to adhering to regulatory requirements and product standards in the jurisdictions where we operate. To ensure compliance, we are currently seeking a talented individual to join our team.

    Join Our Team

    As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in supporting our firm's approach to meeting global regulatory standards. This includes managing our response to existing regulatory regimes like the EU's Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and designing our approach to new regulations such as the FCA's Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR).

    You will collaborate with various functions within the business, including Legal, Compliance, Product Governance, Investment Risk, Public Policy, and Internal Audit. Your primary focus will be on effectively communicating regulatory requirements to our investment teams and assisting them in incorporating these requirements into their processes.

    Who We're Looking For

    We are seeking an individual with the following qualifications:

  • A strong foundation of knowledge in ESG and sustainable investment regulations.
  • Exceptional stakeholder and relationship management skills.
  • Proven project management and organizational abilities.

    • Key Responsibilities

    As a member of our team, your key responsibilities will include:

    Compliance with Existing ESG Regulatory Requirements

  • Working with Sustainable Investment sub-teams, investment desks, and local compliance functions to meet existing regulatory requirements.
  • Designing the firm's approach to identifying Principle Adverse Indicators (PAIs) and performing the Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) test as part of SFDR.
  • Ensuring compliance with the Hong Kong Securities & Futures Commission's climate-related risks disclosure requirements.
  • Responding to ongoing queries from regulators about our approach to meeting regulatory requirements.
  • Supporting clients and client-facing teams in interpreting and meeting ESG regulatory requirements through written updates and regular briefings.

    • Compliance with New ESG Regulatory Requirements

  • Collaborating with multiple functions in the firm and investment desks to design and implement our approach to new and emerging regulatory regimes, with a focus on the FCA's recently published SDR rules.

    • Reporting, Monitoring, and Governance

  • Developing, maintaining, and enhancing frameworks and processes to defend and actively market the firm's sustainability credentials.
  • Ensuring the accuracy and attractiveness of our intranet and external website, showcasing our sustainability approach.
  • Meeting reporting obligations, such as TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and PRI (Principles for Responsible Investment).
  • Providing input into and supporting client and regulatory reporting requirements.

    • Collaboration with Other Functions

  • Acting as a key touchpoint for firm-wide functions, including Marketing, Compliance, Risk, Legal, and Content, to ensure efficient program management and communication.
  • Facilitating effective communication, planning, and completion of work across different functions.

    • Supporting Product Development

  • Providing subject matter expertise and design/implementation support to ensure funds and mandates meet ESG regulatory requirements.
  • Ensuring sustainability-related commitments are appropriate and proportionate to their intended investment outcome and can be effectively monitored and controlled.

    • Working with Investment Teams

  • Collaborating with investment teams to integrate sustainability into their investment processes.
  • Supporting awareness and implementation of sustainability-related regulatory requirements.
  • Enhancing investment teams' sustainability knowledge and promoting the effective use of central sustainability resources.

    • Working with External Clients

  • Representing Schroders and promoting our sustainability approach to strategic clients and the public through panels and conferences.
  • Collaborating with our Client Group to support our sustainability brand, narrative, and credentials, and drive commercialization.
  • Maintaining a repository of information to showcase our sustainable investment capabilities and provide accurate and timely responses to client inquiries and requests for proposals (RFPs).
  • Building internal fluency to enable sales teams to effectively utilize resources and attract flows and fees to our sustainable investment product range.

    • Working with the Wider Sustainable Investment Team

  • Acting as a spokesperson for the key pillars of the Sustainable Investment team to bring the best of our products and services to the rest of the firm.
  • Coordinating the communication and dissemination of the Sustainable Investment team's key outputs and workstreams through various channels.
  • Ensuring the Sustainable Investment team's priorities align with alpha generation, client satisfaction, risk management, and regulatory requirements.

    • Join Us in Making a Difference

    We are looking for individuals with experience in the asset management industry, regulatory bodies, or as consultants/legal counsels to asset managers. A strong understanding of sustainability issues, financial markets, and investment processes is essential. You should also possess excellent organizational and communication skills, along with proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint.

    At Schroders, we value diversity and believe that an inclusive culture fosters better decision-making. We are an equal opportunities employer, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, or any other protected characteristics.
