    "supporting_data": "The Invesco Real Estate S&P US Select Sector UCITS ETF uses unfunded swap agreements as a core part of its investment strategy to synthetically replicate the performance of the S&P Select Sector Capped 20% Real Estate Index. The Fund holds a basket of equities that differ from the index and swaps the performance of these holdings with the counterparty to achieve index performance. The use of unfunded swaps introduces counterparty risk, which is explicitly disclosed in the KIID and PRIIPs documents. The replication method is synthetic, not physical, and the Fund does not use leverage or inverse strategies. The risk profile is high (category 7 in KIID, 5 in PRIIPs), reflecting the complexity and risks associated with swap usage and counterparty exposure. There are no capital protection features or leverage, and derivatives are used inherently in the strategy rather than solely for risk management. The Fund is UCITS compliant but the synthetic replication and swap usage classify it as complex under MiFID II. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a specific comprehension warning but confirms the medium-high risk and counterparty risk exposure. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees and a low ongoing charge, but swap fees are present (though 0.00% currently). Overall, the synthetic replication via unfunded swaps and associated counterparty risk are the primary drivers of the complex classification."
