    "supporting_data": "The ETF is a UCITS-compliant equity ETF physically replicating the MSCI Europe Minimum Volatility Index by direct investment in underlying equities. The KIID and PRIIPs KID documents confirm the use of physical replication with no mention of synthetic replication, swap agreements, or total return swaps. The fund uses optimisation techniques and may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, but these are not inherent to the strategy and are likely for efficient portfolio management, thus derivatives are marked false. There is no leverage, inverse or amplified exposure. The risk indicator is moderate (4 out of 7 in PRIIPs, 5 in KIID), consistent with equity market risk but not indicative of complexity. The fund invests in liquid, large and mid-cap European equities with no complex underlying assets such as contingent convertible bonds or CLOs. The monthly factsheet confirms physical replication and no synthetic or swap-based structures. Costs are straightforward with a TER of 0.25%, no performance fees, and no swap or derivative fees. Counterparty risk is disclosed as a general risk related to safekeeping and securities lending but no significant counterparty exposure from swaps. No capital protection or structured features are present. No complexity warnings or comprehension warnings appear in the PRIIPs KID. Overall, the fund\u2019s structure and strategy are straightforward and transparent, aligning with a non-complex classification under MiFID II."
