PP.06.02 – List of assets – General comments:

This section relates to annual submission of information for PEPPs with further division by Basic PEPP and alternative investment options. In case the alternative investment options become, individually or on aggregate, significant in relation to the savings in the Basic PEPP, the information shall be reported at a more granular level or at the level of each investment option.

The asset categories referred to in this template are the ones defined in Annex IV – Definitions of the CIC Table and references to Complementary Identification Code (‘CIC’) refer to Annex III – CIC table.

This template contains an item-by-item list of assets related to the PEPP (i.e. not on a look-through basis), classifiable as asset categories 0 to 9, with the following exceptions:

(a)

cash shall be reported in one row per currency, for each combination of items C0060, C0070, C0080 and C0090;

(b)

transferable deposits (cash equivalents) and other deposits with maturity of less than one year shall be reported in one row per pair of bank and currency, for each combination of items C0060, C0070, C0080, C0090 and C0290;

(c)

deposits to cedants shall be reported in one single line, for each combination of items C0060, C0070, C0080 and C0090.

This template comprises two tables: Information on positions held and Information on assets.

On the table Information on positions held, each asset shall be reported separately in as many lines as needed in order to properly fill in all non-monetary variables with the exception of item ‘Quantity’, requested in that table. If for the same asset two values can be attributed to one variable, then this asset needs to be reported in more than one line.

On the table Information on assets, each asset shall be reported separately, with one row for each asset, filling in all applicable variables requested in that table. The assets shall be earmarked by PEPP investment option (Basic PEPP and alternative investment options), unless all PEPP investment options share in the same pool of assets, where the assets shall be earmarked as ‘PEPP common assets’. In case the alternative investment options become, individually or on aggregate, significant in relation to the savings in the Basic PEPP, the information shall be reported at a more granular level or at the level of each investment option.

All values shall be reported in accordance with the prudential framework under which remit the entity falls. If a PEPP provider is exempted from reporting an External Rating and External Credit Rating Institution[s] (‘ECAI’) in its sectoral legislation the information regarding field (C0250) and field (C0260) may be limited (not reported). Otherwise, this information shall be reported.

This template contains information on the look through of collective investment undertakings or investments packaged as funds, including when they are participations, by underlying asset category, country of issue and currency. Considering proportionality and specific instructions of the template, the look through shall be performed until the asset categories, countries and currencies are identified. In case of funds of funds, the look-through shall follow the same approach.

The template shall include information corresponding to 100 % of the value invested in collective investment undertakings. However, for the identification of countries the look-through shall be implemented in order to identify the exposures of 80 % of the total value of the funds minus the amounts relating to CIC 8 and CIC 9, and for the identification of currencies the look-through shall be implemented in order to identify the exposures of 80 % of the total value of the funds. PEPP providers shall ensure that the 20 % not identified by country is diversified across geographical areas, for example that not more than 5 % is in one single country. The look-through shall be applied by PEPP providers starting from the major, considering the amount invested, to the lowest single fund and the approach shall be kept consistent over time.

Items shall be reported with positive values unless otherwise stated in the respective instructions.
