    "supporting_data": "The ETF physically acquires securities to track the FTSE Developed Europe All Cap Choice Index, employing full or sampling replication. The KIID and PRIIPs KID confirm derivatives may be used only for risk reduction, cost efficiency, or generating extra income, not as a core strategy, implying derivatives are used for hedging rather than inherent exposure. There is no mention of synthetic replication, swap agreements, or funded/unfunded swaps. No leverage or inverse exposure is present. The underlying assets are large-, mid-, and small-cap equities in developed European markets, screened for ESG criteria, with no complex structured products or contingent bonds. Risk profile is medium (4 out of 7 in PRIIPs KID, 6 in KIID due to equity market risk), with no capital protection or structured features. Costs are straightforward with a low ongoing charge (0.12%) and no performance fees. Counterparty risk is disclosed but limited to safekeeping and derivative counterparties, consistent with normal UCITS ETF operations. The factsheet confirms physical replication and no synthetic or swap-based strategy. The PRIIPs KID includes a comprehension warning stating the fund is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand' due to ESG screening and index complexity, but this does not trigger MiFID II complexity classification as the fund does not use derivatives as a core strategy or leverage. Overall, the fund is a standard physical replication UCITS ETF with ESG screening, no leverage, no synthetic replication, and no complex underlying assets, thus classified as non-complex under MiFID II."
