Overview
KID Software for PRIIPs Manufacturers
The PRIIPs module from Financial Risk Solutions is comprised of the following components :
- Covers a wide diversity of fund offerings for PRIIPs products
including insurer mirror funds, FoFs (both internal and external),
funds with direct investments - Covers both Funds of Internal Funds and Funds
of External Collectives - Covers the RTS recalculation for FoF of historic unit prices
for the purposes of the risk indicator, performance
scenarios and costs figures - Covers regular premium contracts
- Covers product charges such as bid/offer spreads, premium
allocation charges, percentage of fund exit charges, flat plan
management charges such as policy fees and also percentage
based charges taken by unit deductions from policies - Covers fund charges
- KID figures maintained in results database with
comprehensive Analytics capabilities - Can be deployed as either cloud or on premise solution
Whilst the Key Investment Documents will be clear and easy to read for consumers (and in a pre-described format, bringing uniformity to the investment industry), the compilation of the KID is extremely complex for PRIIPs manufacturers, requiring quarterly updates to each KID based on the previous 5 years unit prices calculations using
different positions holding data.
