E Fund Management

Established in Guangzhou, China, in 2001, E Fund Management is an integrated asset manager. It offers investment funds and solutions to both individuals and institutional investors such as central banks, sovereign wealth funds, social security funds, pension funds and large financial. During the assessed period the reported number of employees was 200 and assets under management corresponding to USD 420 billion were reported.

Summary

E Fund Management performed poorly in the 2025 Financial System Benchmark and has significant potential to improve transparency and performance.

Despite its substantial scale and potential influence in driving progress in sustainable finance, the financial institution’s lack of transparency places it at a disadvantage compared to its peers. This makes it vulnerable to environmental and social risks, diminished stakeholder trust and regulatory misalignment.

Being behind many of its peers in terms of overall disclosure, it is recommended that the financial institution uses this benchmark as a guide to disclose more on its sustainability practices and performance with regards to its provision of products, capital and services, as well as considering its own operation and supply chain, across the five measurement areas including Strategy, governance and stewardship; Financing Climate and Nature protection and restoration; Environmental footprints; Inclusive finance and Responsible business conduct.

Risks and opportunities

Although a signatory to the UN Principles of Responsible Investment, E Fund Management lacks evidence of identifying sustainable material topics. Recommendations include linking senior executive remuneration to specific sustainability targets and establishing a stewardship policy aligned with environmental transitions and social best practices. It is advised to create a transition plan for its operations, supply chain, and portfolio, and to ensure scope 1-3 emissions reductions align with interim targets. The institution should disclose the income group breakdown of clients and beneficiaries, processes to prevent divestment from low-income countries due to sustainability strategies, and a risk assessment process that includes ILO fundamental rights at work. Furthermore, it should identify social risks related to the net zero transition and provide examples of conclusions and actions taken regarding salient human rights issues from assessments in the past three years.
