Background on the question:

Final Answer:

The expression "investment funds " in Annex IX. Part 2, paragraph 13 of the Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 13 ITS on supervisory reporting of institutionsDraft ITS on Supervisory reporting is a misprint. Taking into account Article 4.1(3) of the Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, the correct wording shall be:

18Institutions 19 shall include credit institutions and investment firms according to Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and, for the purposes of this reporting, shall mean any private or public undertaking, including its branches, which has been authorised in a third country that applies prudential supervisory and regulatory requirements at least equivalent to those applied in the European Union.
