The AMX Zero solution
AMX has designed our TCFD reporting service, AMX Zero, to meet the DWP’s guidance with the goal of enabling UK pension schemes to meet the minimum requirements in an efficient and cost-effective way. AMX Zero uses technology to bring together many of the high-cost data and reporting operations that are required to meet the DWP’s minimum requirements, using our scale to bring down the cost.
Step 1
Review regulation
DWP has published regulation, guidance and consultation on TCFD reports.
Step 2
Data aggregation
Provide your pension scheme’s information. AMX Zero will gather the required holdings data from the pensions scheme’s
investment partners, on your behalf.
Step 3
Calculate metrics, scenarios and targets
AMX Zero will calculate metrics and collect and store qualitative data from advisors and consultants that are appointed to provide input into the scheme’s TCFD report.
Step 4
Produce DWP TCFD report
AMX Zero will provide you with a report that represents the pension scheme account’s view and that meets the different DWP requirements for DC and DB schemes.
