Purpose of this website
This Website provides you with Key Information Documents (KIDs) for Funds, as required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 (the PRIIPs Regulation) on key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs). You can access PRIIPs KIDs by searching for an ISIN, WKN or Funds name.
PRIIPs Regulation
The EU Regulation on Key Information Documents for Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products (the “PRIIPs Regulation”) applies from 1 January 2018. For UCITS management companies and entities selling and advising on UCITS the European Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) and the Council of the European Union have recently agreed to extend the transitional period for the UCITS PRIIP KID requirement until the end of 2021.
The PRIIPs Regulation imposes obligations on any entity that manufactures or sells packaged retail and insurance based products (“PRIIPs”) to retail investors in the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
The main purpose of the PRIIPs Regulation is to require that PRIIPs manufacturers (eg, the fund manager in the case of an investment fund) prepare a pre-contractual key information document (“KID”) to accompany all PRIIPs that are marketed and sold to retail investors in the EEA. The KID disclosure requirements are designed to improve the quality of information provided to retail investors when considering investments in PRIIPs, allowing them to compare PRIIPs more easily.
The KIDs are not marketing material and do not constitute a recommendation or offer to purchase the investment products.
