Question

Where an existing UCITS is no longer marketed to the public, should it be required to prepare a KIID?

Answer

[ESMA 34-43-392 UCITS Q&A, section 2, Q&A 1a] In accordance with Article 82 of the UCITS Directive a UCITS is required to keep the essential elements of key investor information up-to-date. In accordance with Article 23 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 583/2010, a KIID with duly revised presentation of past performance of the UCITS shall be made available no later than 35 business days after 31 December each year. Notwithstanding that a UCITS is no longer marketed to the public, an up-to-date version of the KIID should be available to the existing investors.
