ALFI response to the European Commission consultation paper on legislative steps for the PRIPs initiative

23 February 2011

ALFI strongly supports the creation of a level playing field through a cross-sectoral approach to the regulation of retail investment products, focusing in particular on pre-contractual product disclosure.

ALFI responded to the European Commission’s consultation paper on packaged retail investment products (PRIPs). The rationale for the PRIPs initiative is a level playing field for investment products sold to retail investors in order to create a standard of investor protection. The UCITS framework embodied a high level of investor protection and the application of the UCITS disclosure standards to all PRIPs helps retail investors to understand, compare and use product disclosure information in order to make informed investment.
