Impactful Policy Frameworks
SEC Climate Disclosure Rule (2024)
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finalized rules in 2024 requiring public companies to disclose certain climate-related information, including greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related risks.
This rule will directly influence VMG's investment decisions by increasing scrutiny on portfolio companies' climate footprints and ESG practices, potentially favoring those with robust sustainability efforts.
Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) (2021)
The Corporate Transparency Act, effective January 1, 2024, requires most businesses operating in the U.S. to report beneficial ownership information to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
The CTA will increase compliance burdens for VMG and its portfolio companies, requiring disclosure of beneficial owners to combat illicit financial activities.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement on Deceptive Marketing (Ongoing)
The FTC continues to actively enforce regulations against deceptive marketing practices, particularly concerning environmental claims (greenwashing) and influencer marketing disclosures.
This ongoing enforcement necessitates increased due diligence by VMG on portfolio companies' marketing claims to ensure compliance and avoid regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
