Many of the disclosures are running close to 1,000 words if not more. For example, Baillie Gifford and JP Morgan Asset Management both have disclosures between 800-900 for their investment companies, while Fidelity's are running at over 1,000 and Impax Environment Markets is around 1,400 words. "There is a lot to wade through on the ESG disclosures on the AIC site," said Mick Gilligan, head of managed portfolio services at Killik. "We have used it where we are carrying out due diligence on trusts as it provides helpful supplementary info… but I think it would be helpful to get more of a bird's eye view of things across sectors." Sarah Godfrey, director of investment trusts at the Edison Group agreed, saying she used the disclosures to inform her reports, but that it can take some work to "extract the key points". In some cases she has seen lengthy disclosures taken directly from the annual report or other corporate literature and said something more focused could work better for the AIC disclosures.
