    "supporting_data": "The iShares Core MSCI Europe UCITS ETF aims to track the MSCI Europe Index through physical replication, investing directly in equity securities of large and mid-cap companies in developed European markets. The KIID and PRIIPs KID documents confirm the use of 'optimising techniques' which may include limited use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes or to help achieve the investment objective, but these are not inherent to the strategy and are used for efficient portfolio management rather than synthetic replication. The fund does not use swaps, total return swaps, or synthetic replication structures. The monthly factsheet explicitly states the product structure as 'Physical' and 'Optimised' methodology, confirming direct investment in underlying securities. There is no leverage, inverse exposure, or capital protection features. The risk indicator is medium (4 out of 7 in PRIIPs KID, 6 in KIID but this is due to equity market risk, not complexity). No complex underlying assets such as contingent convertible bonds or CLOs are held; the top holdings are large, liquid European equities. Costs are straightforward with a low TER of 0.12%, no performance fees, and no swap or derivative fees. Counterparty risk disclosures relate to normal operational risks (e.g., securities lending and safekeeping) but no significant counterparty exposure from synthetic structures. There are no complexity flags such as capital protection, leverage, or structured returns. The PRIIPs KID does not include any comprehension warnings or complexity disclaimers. Overall, the ETF is a standard physical equity index tracker with minimal derivative use for efficient portfolio management, thus classified as non-complex under MiFID II."
