Question

In the Delegated Regulation, the VEV for flexible funds is determined by taking the maximum of the three following options: 1. VEV of the returns of the share class self-history, 2. VEV of the returns of the pro-forma asset mix, 3. VEV which is consistent with the risk limit of the fund. As regards option 1, is it required to backfill the time series with appropriate proxy (similarly to non-flexible funds) if the share class have insufficient self-history to perform the calculation?

Answer

Yes, the requirements regarding the necessary historical data (and use of appropriate proxies) would apply.
