The document must contain various predefined sections where investors can notably find information about the product, the issuer, the risks related to the product, its costs, and performance scenario. The KID must be updated at least once a year.
Without a KID, product manufacturers cannot sell their products to retail investors.
Furthermore the KIDs must be publically available on the manufacturers’ websites.
Current evolutions are being implemented to the KID to facilitate the transition of the UCITS KIIDs to the PRIIPs KID and fill in the flaws that the first version of the KIDs contains.
Following the entry into force of the PRIIPs regulation (Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014), the various players in the asset management and insurance sector grouped behind Club Ampère have defined a format exchange of data necessary for the production of PRIIPs KID at the insurer level.
The document contains information on the investment funds sold via life insurance contracts. EPTs are required by insurers to asset managers.
Under transitional provisions of the PRIIPs regulation, EPTs contain both UCITS KIIDs and PRIIPs KIDs information. Furthermore, under the current revamping of the PRIIPs KID regulation, modifications / improvements are also expected in the EPTs.
