    "supporting_data": "The Invesco STOXX Europe 600 Optimised Food & Beverage UCITS ETF uses unfunded swap agreements as a core part of its investment strategy to synthetically replicate the performance of the STOXX Europe 600 Optimised Food & Beverage Index. The Fund holds a basket of equities that do not fully replicate the index and swaps the performance of these equities with the counterparty to achieve index returns. This introduces counterparty risk and derivative exposure inherent to synthetic replication. The KIID explicitly states the use of unfunded swaps and counterparty risk, and the factsheet confirms synthetic replication and swap fees of 10% p.a., which is significant. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The risk profile is medium (category 4 in PRIIPs, category 6 in KIID), reflecting market and counterparty risks. The Fund is UCITS compliant but the synthetic structure and swap usage classify it as complex under MiFID II. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a comprehension warning but highlights counterparty risk and derivative use. The presence of swap agreements, synthetic replication, and counterparty exposure are the main drivers of complexity despite the absence of leverage or capital protection features."
