    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses physical replication with direct purchase of underlying securities or representative sampling when full replication is impracticable. There is no mention of synthetic replication, swap agreements, or derivative instruments used as part of the investment strategy. Derivatives may be used only for risk reduction or cost management, not as an inherent element of the strategy, so derivatives are marked false. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The underlying assets are equities in emerging markets, which are liquid and transparent, though with higher risk due to market volatility and emerging market factors. The risk rating is 6 in the KIID, reflecting market and emerging market risks, but not complexity from structure. The PRIIPs KID states the fund is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' due to ESG screening and emerging market exposure, but this relates to investment complexity, not structural complexity under MiFID II. The factsheet confirms physical replication, no use of swaps or synthetic structures, and no leverage. Costs are straightforward with a TER of 0.24%, no performance fees, and no swap or derivative fees. No capital protection or structured features are present. Counterparty risk is disclosed as a general risk related to safekeeping and derivative counterparties but no significant counterparty exposure is evident. Overall, the fund is a straightforward physical replication UCITS ETF tracking an ESG screened emerging markets equity index, with no synthetic or leveraged features, and no complex underlying assets such as contingent bonds or CLOs. Therefore, it is classified as non-complex under MiFID II criteria."
