The right investment to suit your needs: Key Information Documents (KIDs) will help retail investors make the right choice

The European Parliament today endorsed the outcome of the inter-institutional trilogue of 1 April and voted in a new pre-contractual information document for retail consumers. This document will have to be given to all retail consumers before they buy an investment product offered to them by a bank, an insurance company or an investment fund. The new information document will have to indicate what the product invests in, what its risks and potential rewards are and what total costs will come the consumers' way in the course of the product's life cycle.
