CASE STUDY: Building Investor Confidence Through IFRS-Compliant Reporting in Asset Management

Inadequate Sustainability Disclosure Undermined Investor Engagement

A Makati-based asset management firm was struggling to attract and retain international investors. Legacy reporting practices lacked consistency, depth, and alignment with global frameworks. As ESG investing surged, the firm risked falling off the radar of key funds and institutions.

Integrated GRI + IFRS Reporting Enhanced Transparency and Relevance

We overhauled the firm’s ESG communications through a dual-aligned GRI and IFRS S1/S2 reporting strategy. This included quantifiable climate risk disclosures, robust governance narratives, and data-driven reporting across AUM impact, cybersecurity, and social safeguards. The report was designed for investor readability and aligned with regulatory momentum.

Increased Visibility, Index Reinstatement, and Investor Engagement

• Reinstated into two regional ESG indices, expanding fund exposure.
• 24% rise in investor inquiries within 60 days of publication.
• Elevated brand authority: the firm’s CIO was tapped to speak at a regional ESG finance event.
• Stronger internal synergy between compliance, finance, and communications teams.

ESG Reporting Is Now a Performance Indicator—Not Just a Requirement

For asset managers, ESG transparency has become a core expectation, not a value-add. Strategic reporting aligned with international standards drives investor confidence, boosts competitiveness, and positions firms for sustainable growth.
