The Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) published a communication clarifying supervisory expectations for submitting PRIIPs key information documents (KIDs), with a focus on ensuring consistency between KIDs and the prospectus. The guidance reiterates that, under Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/653, KIDs should be brief, clear and understandable for retail investors and should provide a condensed description of each sub-fund’s investment policy and strategy rather than copying the prospectus. The CSSF expects KIDs to summarise the relevant key points of the investment policy, including any positions that entail important risk profiles even where such investments are ancillary. Any secondary investment policy should be described briefly and proportionately so it does not take up more space than the main policy, while information that merely overloads the KID should be left to the prospectus. For general annual updates, the CSSF notes that UCITS follow a rolling twelve-month deadline from the date of the last KID version, but recommends as good practice preparing and submitting the update within 35 business days after 31 December to facilitate supervision; firms should also inform the CSSF of the effective date for share classes that are dormant, no longer actively distributed, liquidated, or otherwise inactive. The CSSF reserves the right to periodically review submitted KIDs and to take action where it identifies discrepancies with the prospectus or late submissions.
