Product and regulatory data
This page is intended for third-party distributors and intermediaries. It provides information on our MiFID II product governance process, target market and distribution strategy, together with our costs and charges and data disclosures.
These documents are strictly for information purposes and should not be considered as an offer, investment recommendation or solicitation to deal in any of the investments mentioned and does not constitute investment research. The templates include all funds even if they are not registered in a particular jurisdiction.
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).
- Version 4.2: Published by FinDatEx on 22 April 2024. It integrates the previous version (EMT V4.1) with additional data points relevant only to UK-distributed funds. The additional seven fields focus on enhanced disclosures related to costs, charges, and the client-facing disclosure requirement of the Sustainable Disclosure Regulation (SDR).
EMT version 4.2 has been mandatory in the UK market since 30 June 2024, when version 4.1 was retired.
EMT version 4.0 and version 4.2 can be used concurrently as EU recipients do not require the additional UK-specific fields of version 4.2.
EMT information is updated monthly. Please send any queries relating to the templates to RegulatoryDataTeam@bailliegifford.com

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 RegulatoryDataTeam@bailliegifford.com

Defined Contribution Workplace Pensions Template (DCPT)
The DCPT was developed to enhance transparency and compliance in reporting transaction costs and charges within defined contribution workplace pension schemes.
This initiative is a collaborative effort between The Investment Association (IA) and the Association of British Insurers (ABI), reflecting a broader industry commitment to providing clear and consistent information to pension scheme governance bodies. The first version of the DCPT was issued in December 2017.

Fair Value Mid-Price Template (FVPT)
The Fair Value Mid-Price Template (FVPT) was developed to support the reporting transaction costs within defined contribution workplace pension schemes.
It complements the DC Workplace Pensions Template (DCPT) by providing the "arrival price" of funds, which is crucial for calculating transaction costs.
Our UCITS fund range uses a ‘single swinging price’ method, meaning the published dealing price can ‘swing’ between a bid, mid or offering pricing basis. Due to this, pension schemes require a calculated mid-price, supplied via the FVPT, to calculate their costs of dealing in our funds.
The first version of the FVPT was issued in May 2018, following the DCPT’s initial release in December 2017.
These templates cover the requirements set out in COBS 19.8.4R, concerning the disclosure of transaction costs and charges in connection with workplace pension schemes.

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).
