Question
1) I would like to ask, whether a PRIIP could be offered as a trust fund? Or can a PRIIP only be offered publicly? 2) As I understand the legal definition is quite broad for PRIIPs, do you have some sort of questionnaire that helps to define if an investment product qualifies under PRIIP?
Answer
The question has not been included in the ESAs formal Q&A process given the general nature of the question.
However, we can provide some general information relating to your question:
- It needs to be assessed whether the PRIIP is made available to retail investors
- The ESAs have not developed a questionnaire, but did discuss issues concerning the scope of the Regulation in technical advice published on 2 May 2022 (Technical advice on the review of PRIIPs Regulation) - see section 3.5.
This Q&A is published by European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and is non-binding. It does not constitute legal advice. Updated weekly from official ESA sources.

Do you consider the provisions regarding "underlying investment options" e.g., Article 21 Delegated Regulation to be relevant for portfolio management products?
