IMAS 3 New Initiatives:
- The Climate Handbook, a joint publication by Amundi and IMAS, serves as an extensive guide for investors to integrate climate risks and opportunities within their portfolios. The Handbook is a significant resource that takes readers through the sustainability journey, beginning from an in-depth exploration of the financial materiality of climate change and the concept of double materiality, providing an overview of key climate-related risks and opportunities for investors. It particularly explores how investors can make use of scenario analysis as an effective tool to assess and model the impact of climate risks on their portfolios.
- The Climate BOT, a first-of-its-kind investment tool that makes climate conscious investing accessible for the region. Investment professionals are increasingly expected to interpret complex and technical climate research in a rapidly evolving sustainability landscape. To bridge this gap, Climate BOT — the first Gen AI-powered chatbot built specifically for the investment community — offers instant, conversational answers to climate-related investment questions in multiple Southeast Asian languages, including English, Thai, Indonesian, Chinese, and Vietnamese. Powered by SEA-LION, a family of Southeast Asian large language models developed by AI Singapore, Climate BOT democratises climate knowledge by making technical ESG and climate data and frameworks more accessible — not just to large global institutions, but to investors across the region. A first-of-its-kind tool for Southeast Asia’s finance sector, it supports IMAS’ mission to build a collaborative and climate-conscious investment community.
- Exclusive Partnership with Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association (CAIA) on UniFi by CAIA brings to the industry Fundamentals of Alternative Investments (FAI) and a series of micro-credentials seeking to equip investors with fundamental knowledge on alternative strategies, risk drivers and portfolio implementation. Hosted on IMAS’ iLearn, offers bite sized learning for traditional asset managers seeking to understand the private market and alternative investments.
Investment Management Association of Singapore (IMAS) – The Investment Management Association of Singapore (IMAS) was founded on 22nd September 1997 by 10 major financial institutions in Singapore and has since grown to include more than 160 members. As a representative body of investment managers, IMAS spearheads the development of the industry in Singapore, by fostering high standards of professionalism amongst practitioners and creating public awareness of, and interest in the industry.
