REGULATION (EU) 2021/2259 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 15 December 2021
amending Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as regards the extension of the transitional arrangement for management companies, investment companies and persons advising on, or selling, units of undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) and non-UCITS
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 114 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:

Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) requires manufacturers of packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs), before making a PRIIP available to retail investors, to draw up and publish a key information document (‘KID’). |
(2) |
Article 32(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 exempts management companies as defined in Article 2(1), point (b), of Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), investment companies as referred to in Article 27 of that Directive and persons advising on, or selling, units of undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) as referred to in Article 1(2) of that Directive from the obligations laid down in that Regulation, and thus from the requirement to produce a KID, until 31 December 2021 (‘the transitional arrangement’). In accordance with Article 32(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, where a Member State applies rules on the format and content of the key investor information document, as laid down in Articles 78 to 81 of Directive 2009/65/EC, to non-UCITS funds offered to retail investors, the transitional arrangement is to apply to management companies, investment companies and persons advising on, or selling, units of such non-UCITS funds to retail investors. |

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/653 (5) supplements Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 by laying down regulatory technical standards with regard to the presentation, content and standard format of the KID, the methodology for the presentation of risk and reward and for the calculation of costs, the conditions and minimum frequency for reviewing the information contained in the KID, and the conditions for providing the KID to retail investors. |
(4) |
On 7 September 2021, the Commission adopted a Delegated Regulation amending the regulatory technical standards laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/653 as regards the underpinning methodology and presentation of performance scenarios, the presentation of costs and the methodology for the calculation of summary cost indicators, the presentation and content of information on past performance and the presentation of costs by PRIIPs offering a range of options for investment and alignment of the transitional arrangement for PRIIP manufacturers offering units of funds referred to in Article 32 of Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as underlying investment options with the prolonged transitional arrangement laid down in that Article. The date of application of that Delegated Regulation is 1 July 2022, but it is important to reflect the need to give management companies, investment companies and persons advising on, or selling, units of UCITS and non-UCITS sufficient time to prepare for the end of the transitional arrangement and thus for the obligation to draw up a KID. |
