Going Beyond Regulation
In an increasingly regulated financial environment, managing risk across diverse financial instruments is essential for financial institutions. To support this, SIX offers two complementary risk indicators designed for different needs:
Product Risk Indicator (PRI) With a methodology based on recognized PRIIPs/MiFID II standards, the PRI enables banks, asset managers, and insurance companies to assess market and credit risk with confidence for any financial instrument not in scope of PRIIPs. This ensures not only comparability with the Summary Risk Indicator (SRI), provided by manufacturers themselves, but full transparency for all clients across the instruments universe.
Product Risk Classification (PRC) For all types of financial instruments, the PRC evaluates market, credit and liquidity risk, regardless of jurisdictions or regulatory frameworks. This enables retail banks and wealth managers to apply one consistent risk metric across the entire portfolio, including instruments governed by different regulations.
Make informed decisions based on precise and reliable data with our Product Risk Indicator service.
Enabling risk comparison across different instrument classes, both SIX Risk Indicators, the PRI in conjunction with the SRI, and the standalone PRC, apply robust methodologies to complement your individual use cases and regulatory needs.
One indicator, one fixed fee – fit to your product risk approach. Optimize costs with a single risk evaluation service, regardless of portfolio composition.
Data integrated into your established channels. Request and access PRI and PRC through channels used for other SIX regulatory services.
Navigating investment risks can be complex, but the classification solutions by SIX provide clear, standardized, and comparable approaches to evaluating financial instruments, fitting the different frameworks and regulatory environments. Designed for both professional advisors and retails investors, our methodologies enable seamless risk assessment across all asset classes, ensuring better decision-making and regulatory alignment within PRIIPs/MiFID II requirements or outside.
PRI Risk Data Scope – Based on the SRI methodology, our framework extends to non-PRIIPs assets, allowing cross-comparison of risks across UCITS funds and beyond. See how different instruments compare at a glance.
Product Risk Classification (PRC) by SIX – A proprietary, market-standard risk indicator covering all financial instruments, including PRIIPs and non-PRIIPs assets. With a scale from 1 (low risk) to 5 (high risk), PRC integrates:
Market Risk: VaR, Expected Shortfall, or Volatility
Credit Risk: Expected Loss 1Y (EL1Y)
Liquidity Risk: Synthetic Liquidity Indicator (ISL)

The PRI is a risk indicator based on the SRI methodology, designed to assess the risk of financial instruments. It mainly focuses on products outside the PRIIPs framework. Complementing the SRI, provided by manufacturers of PRIIPs, the PRI allows for cross-asset class risk comparison, specifically for those banks who anyway apply the PRIIPs framework in investor protection. The PRC allows for risk assessment independent of regulatory frameworks or jurisdictions and applies a proprietary market standard which per se covers all different types of financial instruments.
Both use the same methodology, but the PRI is designed for a broader range of assets, including stocks, bonds, futures, and options.
The PRI's methodology and rating scale enable consistent risk comparison across different financial instruments, even across different asset categories.
Yes. In fact, the PRI is specifically designed to allow comparisons between PRIIP and non-PRIIP instruments.
The PRI and its extended version, the PRC, help financial advisors and wealth managers ensure legal compliance in investor protection and suitability assessments.
