Regulations amending Finansinspektionen’s regulations regarding investment services and activities

Finansinspektionen amended its regulations on investment services and activities to strengthen product governance and transparency requirements for securities institutions. The changes mandate that institutions define specific target groups for financial instruments while explicitly excluding sustainability factors from those definitions, and require the inclusion of sustainability-related objectives in client needs assessments. Additionally, the rules clarify obligations regarding the disclosure of analysis fees, the management of analysis budgets, and the provision of relevant sustainability information to distributors.
