UK MiFIR product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market - Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the PR Exempt Instruments has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the PR Exempt Instruments is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS") and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the PR Exempt Instruments to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the PR Exempt Instruments (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the PR Exempt Instruments (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
