Research: Why CCI will push more funds into higher risk categories

Why CCI will push more funds into higher risk categories

The Managed Services team at RiskConcile has investigated how the incoming Consumer Composite Investments (CCI) regulation will reshape the way retail investment risk is disclosed and, in particular, how it will affect the headline risk score shown in the Product Summary compared to the UCITS KIID and PRIIP KID. Our findings show a clear upward shift in the risk score distribution under CCI, driven by the longer volatility window and the move from 7 to 10 risk categories. These are changes that make score increases especially likely for riskier, equity-focused strategies. We invite you to read our paper!
