Key investor information document for share classes

Article 26

1.   Where a UCITS consists of more than one class of units or shares, the key investor information document shall be prepared for each class of units or shares. 2.   The key investor information pertinent to two or more classes of the same UCITS may be combined into a single key investor information document, provided that the resulting document fully complies with all requirements as laid down in Section 2 of Chapter II, including as to length. 3.   The management company may select a class to represent one or more other classes of the UCITS, provided the choice is fair, clear and not misleading to potential investors in those other classes. In such cases the ‘Risk and reward profile’ section of the key investor information document shall contain the explanation of material risk applicable to any of the other classes being represented. A key investor information document based on the representative class may be provided to investors in the other classes. 4.   Different classes shall not be combined into a composite representative class as referred to in paragraph 3. 5.   The management company shall keep a record of which other classes are represented by the representative class referred to in paragraph 3 and the grounds justifying that choice.

Practical information section

Article 27

If applicable, the ‘Practical information’ section of the key investor information document shall be supplemented by an indication of which class has been selected as representative, using the term by which it is designated in the UCITS’ prospectus. That section shall also indicate where investors can obtain information about the other classes of the UCITS that are marketed in their own Member State.
