Investor Reporting

European banks and insurance companies have been confronted with fundamental modernisations in supervisory law for several years. Thus, they have to comply with stricter regulations when investing and are dependent on the reporting of asset managers. Without appropriate reporting, for example, investors may be forced to withdraw their ownership interest in funds.

The risk exposure, which is determined in the various investor reports for investment funds, is becoming an increasingly important criterion for investment decisions by banks and insurance companies. Investment funds that do not provide the necessary transparency through reporting are assigned high risks by the supervisory authority. Accordingly, it is advisable for asset managers to provide customised reports in order to retain important investors and attract new ones.

Moreover, European fund investors are increasingly focused on ESG factors when making investment decisions. This trend has been further reinforced by the EU's recently established sustainable finance framework, which has made ESG reporting a top priority also for financial market participants.

Some of the key reports KPMG offers are:

• Solvency II: Solvency II reporting allows European insurers to determine solvency capital requirements (SCR). The common standard here is the TPT template, which KPMG offers alongside other possible reporting formats. In addition, KPMG provides an overview of the SCR figures in a Solvency II Fact Sheet.
• VAG: VAG reporting is aimed at pension funds and smaller insurance companies. It provides a classification of the fund portfolio for compliance with the requirements of the Insurance Supervision Act (VAG).
• GroMiKV: GroMiKV reporting enables investors in the banking sector to identify their allocation of risks according to the Large Exposure Regulation (GroMiKV).
• CRR: In various reports, KPMG offers to determine the equity deduction positions, CVA risk, foreign currency ratio and risk weighting following the CRR.
• KSA: KPMG performs the calculation of risk positions by country for counter-cyclical capital buffer. This reporting is relevant for banks and other financial institutions.
• Solva: KPMG determines the risk weight and foreign currency exposure for investors from the banking sector and other financial institutions.
• SFDR: KPMG helps asset managers and investors to comply with the EU's sustainable finance framework by producing and distributing the European ESG Template (EET), compiling the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) annex for annual reports and prospectus, calculating Principal Adverse Impact (PAI) indicators and providing fund managers with a PAI management report.
• EU Taxonomy: KPMG assists financial market participants with Art. 8 EU Taxonomy DA reporting and the corresponding distribution of reports as well as data collection and transmission of EU Taxonomy data in the EET.
