    "supporting_data": "The Invesco STOXX Europe 600 Optimised Retail UCITS ETF uses unfunded swap agreements as a core part of its investment strategy to synthetically replicate the STOXX Europe 600 Optimised Retail Index. The KIID explicitly states the use of unfunded swaps with counterparty exposure and derivative counterparty risk. The fund holds a basket of equities that do not fully replicate the index, and the performance difference is swapped with a counterparty. The PRIIPs KID confirms the synthetic replication method and highlights counterparty risk and swap dependency. The monthly factsheet reiterates the synthetic replication and swap usage, with a swap fee of 10% p.a., and confirms UCITS compliance. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The risk rating is 5 out of 7 (medium-high), reflecting the complexity introduced by the swap structure and counterparty risk. Although derivatives are used, they are inherent to the strategy rather than for risk management, so 'derivatives' is false. The presence of unfunded swaps and counterparty risk mandates classification as complex under MiFID II. The fund does not have capital protection or leverage, but the synthetic replication and swap counterparty risk are key complexity drivers. The fund invests in equities, but the synthetic structure and swap usage mean the product is not straightforward physical replication, increasing complexity for retail investors."
