Invest Europe has produced a private equity data reporting guidance, based on the standard reporting template TPT 5.0. It is intended to help private equity managers to report data to their insurance investors in accordance with the new reporting requirements.

Solvency II risk weights have a major influence on the insurers’ ability to support, among others, start-ups through venture capital funds, scale-ups through growth capital funds or large-scale infrastructure projects through infrastructure funds. In this response, we argue that, for the benefit of both insurers and of the companies they can indirectly invest into, criteria of the new long-term equity category must be further tailored to ensure insurers in all EU countries are able to make use of it.

In this consultation response, Invest Europe has mainly focused on the lack of tailoring in the disclosure templates to specific asset classes, such as PE/VC, and the need to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. We have also used this opportunity to reiterate our concerns around the scope of the Article 8 SFDR perimeter.

This response calls the EBA to introduce targeted changes to some of its technical measures to implement the prudential and remuneration rules that apply to MiFID investment firms (and which could create a precedent in an AIFMD context). Areas on which this response focuses include double-counting of assets when determining the firm’s capital requirements, the staff that is deemed to have a material impact on the firm’s risk profile and alternative arrangements that may be used to pay variable remuneration.
