Key Actions for Advancing the Savings & Investments Union – Presentation to ESMA's Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group Advisory Group
This presentation, delivered during the ESMA Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group (SMSG) meeting, outlines concrete policy recommendations to strengthen the EU's Savings and Investments Union and close the pension adequacy gap.
The presentation highlights the urgent need to enhance the effectiveness of long-term savings by improving transparency and comparability of retail investment products through a comprehensive reform of the PRIIPs Key Information Document (KID).
BETTER FINANCE also advocates for the creation of an independent EU-wide investment product comparison tool, and the development of a broad-based Total EU Stock Market (ETSM) fund to bolster equity financing of the real economy—particularly for SMEs—and reinforce the competitiveness of the European asset management industry.
