    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The UBS MSCI ACWI SF UCITS ETF uses synthetic replication through a fully funded total return swap with UBS AG as the counterparty. The fund does not physically hold the underlying index securities but swaps the index performance with UBS in exchange for the performance of a basket of securities held by the fund. This introduces counterparty risk, explicitly noted in the KIID and fact sheet, with collateral posted in government bonds and cash. The fund is UCITS compliant but uses derivatives inherently as part of its investment strategy rather than solely for risk management, so 'derivatives' is marked false per instructions. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The risk profile is medium (4 out of 7 in PRIIPs KID, 5 out of 7 in KIID), reflecting the counterparty and market risks. The complexity arises mainly from the synthetic replication structure and counterparty exposure, which may be difficult for retail investors to fully understand, fulfilling MiFID II criteria for a complex financial instrument. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees but include swap-related costs embedded in the TER. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a specific comprehension warning but the synthetic swap structure and counterparty risk are clearly disclosed. The fund tracks a broad, liquid equity index (MSCI ACWI) with currency hedging, but the synthetic method and swap counterparty risk drive the complexity classification."
