The EU regulation on packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs) has led to a new requirement for the exchange of PRIIPs data via EPT between fund managers and insurance companies.
Contact usSince 2018, the PRIIPs Regulation obliges insurance companies to provide a PRIIPs Key Information Document (KID) for insurance products including unit-linked and multi-option products (MOPs).
In order to produce the KID, insurance companies require to obtain PRIIPs information from the fund managers of the underlying funds.
The EPT ("European PRIIPs Template") and CEPT (Comfort European PRIIPs Template") are published and maintained by FinDatEx and used as the industry standard for the exchange of PRIIPs data between asset managers and banks to insurers to help them fulfil their PRIIPs regulatory obligations.
The EPT contains fields that are calculated according to PRIIPs regulation standards: risk indicator (SRI), performance scenarios, cost disclosure (RIY) and some additional informative fields.
This brings some challenges with regard to data management, classification, calculations, market data collection, report preparation and report distribution.
Fund providers must be able to calculate and transmit their PRIIPs data according to EPT and CEPT standards.
Insurance companies must request, check, evaluate and further process the EPT/CEPT to produce their KIDs.
