The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority is pushing back the date for some firms to comply with its naming and marketing rule amid struggles to prepare for it, the FCA said Monday.

Investors need to know that funds with “sustainable” in the name, or that are described as having sustainability goals, include certain environmental characteristics and outcomes, according to the rule’s Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR).
