The European Parliament voted to adopt two "quick-fixes" for PRIIPs and UCITS regulations.
Amendments to the UCITS regulation:
1. The UCITS KIIDs exemption for switching to a PRIIPs KID has been extended to 31 December 2022, meaning UCITS funds will have an additional 6 months before having to produce a PRIIPs KID.
2. Non-retail funds, investment companies and management companies should continue to provide an UCITS KIID, unless they decide to provide a PRIIPs KID, in which case they do not have to create an UCITS KIID anymore.
