    "supporting_data": "The Fund uses indirect replication through OTC total return swaps (financial derivative instruments) to achieve its investment objective, explicitly stated in both the KIID and PRIIPs KID. The Fund is exposed to counterparty risk limited to 10% per counterparty, consistent with UCITS guidelines. The replication method is synthetic, confirmed by the factsheet. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The underlying asset class is emerging markets equities, which carry higher volatility and liquidity risk but are not inherently complex structured products. The risk profile is medium (4/7), reflecting market and counterparty risks. The use of swaps as a core part of the replication strategy, rather than for risk management, triggers the classification as complex under MiFID II. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees. The PRIIPs KID does not include a comprehension warning but confirms the use of swaps and counterparty risk. Overall, the synthetic replication and counterparty exposure are the main drivers of complexity classification despite the fund's UCITS status and moderate risk rating."
