The rule in plain words
The item "Cost of advice" reported for "Basic PEPP" and "Alternative investment options", should be lower or equal to the "Distribution costs"
The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Compare the values in your return. If the first is bigger than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
- 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.52.01 as reported.
- 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.

Which returns it applies to

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
