Private credit funds are becoming a cornerstone of institutional investors’ private market portfolios, a trend expected to grow in the coming years. Part of this evolution is reflected in how ESG strategies are shaping private credit fundraising in Europe, particularly under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. While ESG remains a topic of debate and varied interpretations—especially in jurisdictions like the U.S.—the dominant trend in recent years has been for European credit funds to proactively consider their SFDR classification. Proskauer’s James Oussedik and Rachel Lowe discuss these nuances in Private Debt Investor and examine what Article 8 classification means and why it may be important to take advantage of today's rules before they become stricter: https://bit.ly/4gsRsNk #privatefunds #privatecredit #esg #sfdr #sustainablefinance

How does the EU’s AI Act allocate responsibilities in respect of AI systems? The specific obligations of an organisation under the AI Act depend on: (a) the role of that organisation in relation to the relevant AI system (e.g., are they a provider or deployer); and (b) the AI Act’s categorisation of the relevant AI system. The AI Act categorises AI systems based on their potential risks and divides them into different categories depending on the data they capture and the decisions or actions taken with that data. Download our in-depth briefing to clearly understand your obligations in respect of AI systems and stay ahead of regulatory requirements: https://lnkd.in/eZHxB9dE #Proskauer #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Compliance #Regulatory #EUAIAct
