PRIIPs Regulation and the UK PRIIPs Regulation

The PRIIPs Regulation has applied in the EEA from 1 January 2018, aiming to increase the transparency and comparability of investment products through the publication of a standardized short form disclosure document - the KID. In the UK, as a result of Brexit, the EUWA and regulations made under EUWA transposed the PRIIPs Regulation regime in the EEA into UK law with effect from 1 January 2021.

The PRIIPs Regulation and the UK PRIIPs Regulation are intended to make it easier for retail investors in the EEA and the UK to understand and compare the key features, risk, rewards and costs of different products in scope of the PRIIPs Regulation or the UK PRIIPs Regulation, as applicable, through the provision of the KID. This is a free-of-charge pre-contractual, stand-alone document that is to be shared with the investor prior to the conclusion of any transaction and updated throughout the lifetime of the PRIIP, where the PRIIP continues to be made available. The KIDs are not marketing material and do not constitute a recommendation or offer to purchase the investment products.

The PRIIPs Regulation applies to PRIIPs products and services made available within the EEA, regardless of the nationality of an investor. With respect to PRIIPs products and services made available within Switzerland, the provision of a KID which complies with the PRIIPs Regulation will satisfy the Swiss requirements on PRIIPs.

The UK PRIIPs Regulation applies to PRIIPs products and services made available within the UK, regardless of the nationality of an investor.

EU MAR and UK MAR

The EU MAR came into effect on 3 July 2016 and was onshored into UK law on 31 December 2020 by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Changes to EU MAR were made by the Market Abuse Exit Regulations 2019, to ensure that UK MAR operates effectively in the UK and, subsequently, further changes have been made to such legislation.

Each of EU MAR and UK MAR aims to increase market integrity and investor protection, among other things, by prohibiting insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information and market manipulation, and requiring measures to prevent and detect these. It also contains certain requirements for investors or potential investors to be notified of certain information in relation to relevant products.
