Question

Are financial market participants obliged to publish the pre-contractual or periodic product templates on their websites based on the SFDR, or does that depend on the sectoral law on publication of the documents referred to under Article 6(3) or 11(2) SFDR to which the templates have to be attached?

Answer

Article 10 SFDR refers to the information under Article 8, 9 or 11 of that Regulation, but not the actual documents under 6(3) or 11(2). In order to fulfil the requirements in Article 10(1)(c)-(d) SFDR, there is no need to publish the actual documents referred to in Article 6(3) and 11(2) SFDR. Nevertheless, the ESAs’ supervisory expectation is that the obligation to publish the information referred to in Article 10(1)(c)-(d) (i.e. the information referred to in Article 8,9 and 11 SFDR) should be fulfilled by publishing the templates in Annexes II-V of the SFDR Delegated Regulation.
