Markets in Financial Instruments Directive Templates MiFID II (EMT)
The European MiFID Template (EMT) enables us to share key product data with our fund distributors’ network.
It includes data on the intended target market (investor knowledge, objectives and needs, and risk appetite), the distribution strategy and the product’s associated costs and charges. The EMT has been operational since 3 January 2018.
Key Updates to the EMT:
- Version 4.0: This version has been a compulsory standard for all relevant funds since 1 August 2022. The main change from version 3 is that most ESG-related fields have been removed as these are now disclosed in the European ESG Template (EET).
EMT information is updated monthly. Please send any queries relating to the templates to [email protected]
EMT Version 4
European Packaged Retail and Insurance Based Investment Products (PRIIPS) Template (EPT)
The EPT provides a standardised mechanism to share key fund data for Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products (PRIIPs) to meet the regulation’s requirements.
Key Updates to the EPT:
- Version 2.1 was developed to align with the new UK PRIIPs regime, which the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) amended in October 2022. The primary focus of EPT version 2.1 is to ensure that investment products distributed within the UK comply with local and European standards.
EPT information is updated monthly. Please send any queries relating to the templates to [email protected]
EPT EU
European ESG Template (EET)
The Financial Data Exchange (FinDatEx) created the EET to facilitate the exchange of environmental, social and governance (ESG) data across UK and EU financial market participants.
The template is critical for ensuring compliance with the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), the EU Taxonomy Regulation, MiFID II and the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD).

Costs and charges summary
As a firm, we understand the need for greater transparency when reporting information on costs and charges. Increased transparency enables investors to undertake effective value assessments, which will drive competitive pressure, leading to increased efficiency and improved market competitiveness.
We produce a comprehensive costs and charges summary so that those who invest in our funds have complete visibility of the costs and charges within the product they have chosen to invest in.
New product approval process
Our new product approval process provides information about our three-phase product lifecycle for new fund launches and includes our MiFID II target market assessment disclosure.
