Question

Is it possible to show the complete name of the PRIIP when first mentioned in the KID and then simply refer to it as “the product” or “the Fund” thereafter?

Answer

Yes, an appropriate short form can be used after the full name has been stated and the same approach can be taken for share classes of funds with a reference to “the share class of the fund/product”, as well as for other types of PRIIPs, such as insurance-based investment products.
