    "supporting_data": "The Invesco STOXX Europe 600 UCITS ETF uses unfunded swap agreements as a core part of its investment strategy to synthetically replicate the STOXX Europe 600 Index. The KIID explicitly states the use of unfunded swaps with approved counterparties, exchanging cash flow streams without requiring collateral, which introduces counterparty risk. The fund holds a basket of equities that do not fully replicate the index, relying on swaps to deliver index performance. The replication method is synthetic, confirmed by the factsheet. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The derivatives are used as an inherent element of the strategy (swaps), not merely for risk management, so derivatives exposure is considered true. The risk profile is medium-high (risk category 6 in KIID), reflecting the complexity and counterparty risk. Costs include a swap fee (0.33% p.a.) in addition to the ongoing charge (0.19%), indicating derivative-related costs. The PRIIPs KID confirms the synthetic swap-based structure and highlights counterparty risk and no capital protection. The fund is UCITS compliant but the synthetic replication and unfunded swap usage classify it as complex under MiFID II. There is no leverage or capital protection mechanism, but the synthetic structure and counterparty exposure are key complexity drivers. No references to leverage, inverse, or structured capital protection were found. The underlying assets are equities, but the synthetic swap structure and counterparty risk elevate complexity. The fund\u2019s risk level (6/7) aligns with this assessment."
