    "supporting_data": "The Invesco Consumer Discretionary S&P US Select Sector UCITS ETF uses synthetic replication via unfunded swap agreements with approved counterparties to achieve its investment objective. The Fund holds a basket of equities that do not fully replicate the index constituents, and swaps the performance of these equities for the performance of the S&P Select Sector Capped 20% Consumer Discretionary Index. The use of unfunded swaps introduces counterparty risk, explicitly disclosed in the KIID and PRIIPs KID documents. The replication method is synthetic, not physical, confirmed by the factsheet. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the presence of swaps and derivative instruments as an inherent part of the strategy mandates classification as complex under MiFID II. The risk profile is high (risk category 7 in KIID, 5 in PRIIPs KID), reflecting the volatility of the underlying equities and the additional risks from swap counterparty exposure. Costs are straightforward with a low ongoing charge and no performance fees, but swap fees are embedded. The index tracked is a capped sector index with modified market capitalization weighting, which adds some complexity but is not the primary driver. No capital protection or structured features are present. Overall, the synthetic replication via unfunded swaps and associated counterparty risk are the main complexity drivers, making this ETF complex under MiFID II despite the absence of leverage or structured products."
