    "supporting_data": "The Vanguard LifeStrategy\u00ae 40% Equity UCITS ETF is a UCITS-compliant ETF that invests primarily through direct holdings in other collective investment schemes (ETFs and other UCITS funds) which themselves track indices. The fund pursues an actively managed strategy with discretion over asset allocation but does not use synthetic replication or swap agreements. The KIID and PRIIPs KID explicitly state that derivatives may be used only for risk reduction or cost efficiency, not as an inherent part of the investment strategy, indicating derivatives usage is ancillary and not complexity-driving. There is no mention of leverage, inverse exposure, or capital protection mechanisms. The risk rating is moderate-low (3 out of 7 in PRIIPs, 4 in KIID), consistent with a non-complex product. The fund invests in liquid equity and fixed income securities via underlying ETFs, with no exposure to complex structured products, contingent convertible bonds, or other complex assets. The PRIIPs KID includes a comprehension warning that the product 'may be difficult to understand,' but this is standard language for multi-asset funds with active management and does not reflect synthetic or leveraged complexity. Costs are straightforward with a single ongoing charge of 0.25%, no performance fees, and no swap or derivative fees disclosed. The monthly factsheet (URL provided) confirms no use of swaps or synthetic replication. Overall, the fund's structure, replication method, risk profile, and cost structure support a non-complex classification under MiFID II."
