Groups urge a halt to Priips KID rules ahead of vote Feb 02, 2021 By Funds Europe
Investor groups are urging EU officials to re-visit fund information rules, warning that retail investors will not get the information they need and that product-comparison websites could be thwarted in delivering fund comparisons.
Organisations including the CFA Institute are re-igniting the ongoing ‘Priips’ saga ahead of a vote this month by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (Eiopa) – a European Supervisory Authority (ESA) on Level 2 rules.
CFA Institute and Better Finance issued a joint statement urging officials to consider Level 1 rules first, saying it is not in the spirit of EU law to revise Level 2 rules ahead of Level 1.
