Framesoft PRIIPs KID GENERATOR (FPG) supports financial institutions to comply with the PRIIPs KID Regulation. Manufacturers and distributors of packaged retail and insurance-based investment products are challenged to provide Investors with the Key Information Document (“KID”) to comply with the PRIIPs (Packaged Retail & Insurance-based Investment Products) KID Regulation.

FPG permits a PRIIP manufacturer to set up, manage and generate all required KIDs by virtue of FPG’s template administration functionality. As well, the manufacturer can decide to “white label” the product KIDs and supply them to intermediaries, if so required and legally permitted.

KIDs in general need to follow rules and formatting prescriptions set out in the regulation. FPG is ideally prepared to cope with these requirements, as well as it is flexible enough to be updated and reconfigured in case of amendments to the regulations in force. 

KID Example

Document Setup

The manufacturer can create the PRIIP’s KID via modelling of a Template structure by defining elements to be inserted following the sequence laid out by the regulation. FPG covers the requirements as spelled out by the regulation:

1. Title

The document must clearly state that it is a "Key Information Document" and specify the name of the PRIIP.

2. Purpose

A brief statement explaining the purpose of the KID, which is to inform investors about the nature and risks of the investment product being offered.

3. What is this Product?

This section provides an overview of the product, including its objectives, the type of investor it is designed for, and how long the investor should plan to hold the investment such as:

  • direct or indirect exposure to the underlying investment assets,
  • description of the underlying instruments or reference values,
  • specification of the markets the PRIIP invests in etc.

4. Risk

This section must include a summary risk indicator (SRI) on a scale from 1 to 7, where 7 represents a higher risk. It should also provide information on the potential gains or losses from the investment, including scenarios for unfavourable, moderate, and favourable market conditions. “What are the risks and what could I get in return”, including treatment of topics required by the regulation, e.g.:

  • Summary Risk Indicator
  • Possible maximum loss of invested capital
  • Appropriate performance scenarios
  • Where applicable, information on conditions for returns and scenarios exemplifying risks
  • Taxation statement

5. Pay Out

What happens if the PRIIP manufacturer is unable to pay out - information on whether the investment is covered by a compensation scheme and the implications for the investor.

6. Costs

Detailed information on the costs associated with the investment, including one-off and ongoing costs, as well as how these costs affect the potential returns.

7. Holding Period

Guidance on the recommended investment period and information on the investor's ability to withdraw money before the end of this period, including any penalties or fees that may apply.

8. Complain

Information on the process for filing complaints about the product or the conduct of the PRIIP manufacturer.

9. Other relevant information

Directions to where the investor can find more detailed information about the product and its risks.

KID Setup - scalable & flexible

FPG provides easy copy and paste, as well as reusability of template sections where applicable or desired. It also offers multiple language compatibility. This means a KID template is assembled once and can be generated in multiple languages. Any change to the template will be reflected in all languages automatically.

At the same time, all future reviews and amendments of the regulation can be quickly realized using FPGs powerful template editing and scripting tools.
