PRIIPtuotteisiin
PRIIPtuotteisiin refers to Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products in the European Union. This regulatory framework aims to protect retail investors by ensuring transparency and comparability of investment products. PRIIPtuotteisiin covers a wide range of financial products, including structured products, investment funds, and certain insurance products with an investment component. The core of the PRIIP regulation is the Key Information Document (KID). This document provides standardized, easily understandable information about the product's risks, costs, and potential returns, allowing investors to make informed decisions. The KID must be provided to retail investors before they invest. The regulation also includes rules on product governance, marketing, and the sale of PRIIPtuotteisiin, emphasizing suitability and appropriateness assessments. The goal is to enhance investor protection and foster trust in the European financial markets by making investment products more accessible and comprehensible to the average consumer. Different types of PRIIPtuotteisiin have specific requirements, but the overarching principle remains consistent: clear and standardized information for retail investors.
