Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our 2023 ESMA Statistical Report on Costs and Performance of EU Retail Investment Products provides an overview of key developments up to end-2021, a year characterised by economic recovery, increasing financial market valuations and mounting inflationary pressures. Since then, investment markets have undergone a pronounced downturn, mainly associated with the Russian war against Ukraine, the related turmoil affecting the energy market and the sharp change in monetary conditions. These recent developments, occurred after the reporting period of the current costs and performance report, cannot be reflected in the report. They are covered, however, in our semi-annual publications on Trends, Risks and Vulnerabilities (TRV) and our ad-hoc Risk Updates. Building on our past cost and performance reports, this year's analysis covers Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS), Retail Alternative Investment Funds (Retail AIFs), and Structured Retail Products (SRPs). Compared with the 2022 edition, we provide a more in-depth analysis on the effects of growing inflation on investment, the UCITS following environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies, the performance of retail AIFs and the performance and costs of SRPs based on Packaged Retail Investment and Insurance Products' Key Information Documents (PRIIPs KIDs). Improvements in data availability continue, but significant data issues persist.
