Question

According to the Point 37 of Annex VI ‘If the PRIIP manufacturer is unable to distinguish the relevant implicit costs to be disclosed as referred to in Point 29 of this Annex using the difference between the price and the fair value, it shall liaise with the issuer of the different components of the product, or the relevant body, in order to gather the relevant information on those costs’. Could you provide with an example of such a situation?

Answer

This situation in particular occurs when a contractual arrangement between two entities (e.g. one being the PRIIP manufacturer and the other the issuer of one or more derivative components used by the PRIIP manufacturer to structure its PRIIP) is such that the PRIIP manufacturer is not aware of the amount of hedging cost of a specific PRIIP.
