    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The Invesco S&P China A MidCap 500 Swap UCITS ETF uses unfunded swap agreements as a core part of its investment strategy to synthetically replicate the performance of the S&P China A MidCap 500 Index. The Fund holds a basket of equities that do not fully replicate the index and swaps the performance of these holdings with the counterparty to achieve index returns. The use of unfunded swaps introduces counterparty risk, explicitly disclosed in the KIID and PRIIPs KID documents. The Fund is UCITS compliant but relies on derivative instruments (swaps) as an inherent element of its strategy rather than solely for risk management. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the synthetic replication and swap usage are key complexity drivers. The risk profile is medium-high (risk category 5-6), reflecting the emerging market exposure and derivative counterparty risk. The ongoing charge includes a swap fee (~0.35% TER plus ~0.40% swap fee), indicating derivative-related costs. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a specific comprehension warning but highlights the reliance on counterparty performance and the absence of capital protection. The factsheet confirms the synthetic replication method, swap usage, and emerging market focus, reinforcing the complexity classification under MiFID II. No leverage or capital protection features are present, but the synthetic structure and counterparty risk are sufficient to classify the ETF as complex."
