    "supporting_data": "The Fund uses a swap agreement with an approved counterparty to replicate the performance of the NASDAQ-100 BuyWrite V2 UCITS Index, which involves swapping the return of a basket of global equity securities and equity related securities for the return of the Index minus fees. The Fund also employs a covered call strategy by selling call options on the Reference Index, which adds derivative complexity. The KIID and PRIIPs KID both explicitly mention the use of swaps and financial derivative instruments (options and futures) as integral to the investment strategy, not merely for risk management. The Fund exposes investors to counterparty risk from the swap counterparty, which is highlighted as a key risk. The risk profile is medium-high (6 in KIID, 5 in PRIIPs KID), reflecting the complexity and volatility of the strategy. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the synthetic replication and derivative overlay make the product complex under MiFID II. The Fund is UCITS compliant but the use of swaps and options, combined with counterparty risk and potential tracking error, drive the complex classification. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a specific comprehension warning but the derivative and swap usage is clear. The fact that the Fund may switch partially or totally between physical replication and swap replication does not reduce complexity as the swap usage is a core element of the strategy. No capital protection or structured contingent features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees, but derivative and swap fees are implicit in the total expense ratio. Overall, the synthetic replication via swaps and the embedded derivative strategy (covered call writing) are the main complexity drivers under MiFID II rules."
