Integrated, Automated, and Built for Real Conversations

Capture ESG preferences, match them to financial products, and meet MiFID II rules without disrupting your existing workflows.

Trusted by Leading Financial Institutions

The Question Feels Simple. The Rules Don’t.

MiFID II requires firms to ask investors about their ESG preferences and prove those preferences are reflected in every recommendation. But inconsistent data, complex product classifications, and evolving guidance turn what should be a simple question into a compliance challenge. Without the right tools, what should build trust ends up draining time and introducing risk.

  • How does Clarity AI handle gaps or inconsistencies in EET data?

    EET is the standard format for ESG product data under MiFID II, and Clarity AI fully supports it. But not all manufacturers provide complete or consistent EET files. When data is missing or unclear, we enhance coverage with our proprietary, transparent estimates, clearly flagged and fully documented. This ensures preference matching remains accurate, consistent, and defensible, no matter the data quality received.

  • What data does Clarity AI use to match preferences?

    Clarity AI combines proprietary data and EETs to deliver comprehensive coverage across funds, equities and fixed-income. Every data point is traceable to its original source or estimation method, so you can make decisions backed by transparency, not guesswork.

  • How does Clarity AI help navigate evolving MiFID II guidance?

    EU Regulations for sustainable finance are still evolving, and interpreting it correctly can be tricky. Clarity AI provides clear, structured methodologies aligned with the regulation, and we continuously update our models as regulatory guidance shifts. You get clarity, consistency, and confidence in your suitability processes, even as expectations change.

  • How is ESG product alignment documented and justified?

    Every ESG preference match comes with full justification clearly showing how each financial product meets the client’s expressed preferences across SFDR, EU Taxonomy, and PAI considerations. You get transparent logic, documented sources, and regulatory references to support both internal checks and external compliance reviews.

  • Can you integrate into existing suitability processes?

    Clarity AI is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing MIFID II suitability assessment process. Our API-first solution enables easy connectivity with your current suitability engines and portfolio management tools. By sourcing high-quality ESG preference data directly through our API, financial institutions can eliminate manual data handling and streamline the entire ESG preference assessment process without disrupting existing compliance workflows.
