Question

Is it possible to signpost to a glossary?

Answer

[ESMA 34-43-392 UCITS Q&A, section 2, Q&A 5a] Yes. However, as provided by the guide to clear language and layout for the Key Investor Information document (ref. CESR/10-1320), the use of a glossary should not result in too numerous cross-references.

This Q&A is published by European Securities and Markets Authority and is non-binding. It does not constitute legal advice. Updated weekly from official ESA sources.
