PRIIPs key information document

The PRIIPs Regulation requires a short key information document. It is meant to show retail investors the nature, risk, costs and possible gains and losses. It is not advertising.

In more detail

Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 sets the format and content, and the duty to give the document to retail investors so they can compare the main features. The document must say that it is not marketing material and that the information is required by law. Scenarios in it follow the regulation's method. Finmon does not rerun them and fills in no form.

Background

Read next to the prospectus, costs, risk and ETFs: the document bundles required information. It is not a product recommendation and not a promise of the outcome.

An example

Before the contract there is a key information document with risk, costs and scenarios. The slogan on the page is something else. Finmon does not choose the product.

A common misconception

The key information document is a recommendation and the scenarios are promised results.

The regulation requires a short, non-advertising information document. The scenarios follow a method. They are not a promise.
