The PRIIPs-Regulations: The challenges that will arise

The Arrival Price methodology introduces challenges to the Asset Management industry, including the shift from Basis Points to Full PRIIPs Methodology, the need to adapt to a comprehensive evaluation of explicit and implicit costs, and the complexity of determining Arrival Prices based on timestamps from 3 years back

Basis Points vs. Full PRIIPs Methodology:

The transition from the traditional Basis Points method to the Full PRIIPs methodology poses challenges in adapting existing processes to the more comprehensive regulatory approach.

Adapting to Full PRIIPs Methodology:

The new methodology demands a holistic and dynamic approach to the evaluation of explicit and implict costs. For Fund of Funds, additionally, external fund costs need to be included and their impact considered.

Timestamp-Based Arrival Prices:

Determining Arrival Prices based on timestamps adds complexity, relying on accurate details of the transaction's date and time, considering market conditions and liquidity at the execution moment.

Further technical details:

The Arrival Price Method, to be implemented in PRIIP KIDs from the end of 2024, replaces estimated values with actual arrival prices determined at the time of placing an order in the market. This method incorporates historical tick data and necessitates a transparent set of rules for diverse asset classes. In cases where data is lacking, a guideline-compliant estimate must be used, aligning with Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) guidelines.

Risks of product unavailability:

Investment management companies are anticipated to implement changes from the second half of 2024. They risk product unavailability from the beginning of 2025 without compliant regulatory documents.

You have further questions? Let's answer them.

When does the Arrival Price Method apply to PRIIPs?

The arrival price method will be mandatory from 1 January 2025. Early implementation in your processes will ensure legal compliance as soon as the regulation comes into force.

What is the background to the changes to the Arrival Price Method?

Specific transaction costs must be stated within the PRIIP KIDs. Currently, capital management companies have the option of estimating these costs approximately using the MiFID or estimation method instead of calculating them at great expense. The shift aims to foster cross-product comparability and mitigate the discrepancies introduced by varied estimation methods.

How does the Arrival Price Method for PRIIPs work?

The Arrival Price Method, to be implemented in PRIIP KIDs from the end of 2024, replaces estimated values with actual arrival prices determined at the time of placing an order in the market. This method incorporates historical tick data and necessitates a transparent set of rules for diverse asset classes. In cases where data is lacking, a guideline-compliant estimate must be used, aligning with Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) guidelines.

What will change with the Arrival Price Method for PRIIPs?

The changes have the greatest impact on three types of market participants: Reporting providers will have to comply with the new standard and prepare their licences, databases and IT accordingly. Asset management companies will be affected next and are expected to start implementing the new requirement in earnest from the second half of 2024. Finally, asset managers are the third affected party, as they may not be able to sell products from the beginning of 2025 if no regulatory documents are available.
