Spirit of the PRIIP Regulation - Transparency for retail investors needs to be increased specially with regards to costs, chances and risks.
The aim is to make all product types comparable by means of a uniform document.
KID should be “accurate, fair, clear and not misleading“.

The Key Information Document (KID) is mandatory for PRIIP funds from January 2022.
The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) are currently consulting amendments regarding:
Whether to keep the Probabilistic Approach or to move to an Illustrative Approach. In case the Probabilistic Approach is continued, the ESAs are considering changes to the calculation methodology (e.g. changes to the growth rates, instead of using the realized last 5 years) and to the presentation of the scenarios (e.g. reduce IHPs, remove/change stress scenario).
Towards the expiry of UCITS exemption from PRIIPs the ESAs are suggesting the inclusion of various topics from the UCITS regulation into PRIIPs. In addition, the ESAs suggest to add past performance to Category 2 products (e.g. mainly for funds, similar to UCITS KIID).
The ESAs suggest when applying Article 10 b (i.e. generic KID and specific information) to select at least four “most commonly selected options” and produce an Article 10 a-like KIDs for them (to allow investors to see the “full picture” of scenarios and costs in one document).
The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) are currently consulting amendments regarding:
