    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The UBS CMCI Ex-Agriculture SF UCITS ETF uses synthetic replication through a fully funded total return swap with UBS AG as counterparty, confirmed by the KIID, PRIIPs KID, and the monthly factsheet. The fund invests in financial derivative instruments (FDIs) to swap the performance of the UBS CMCI Ex-Agriculture Ex-Livestock Capped Index Total Return, which tracks commodity futures excluding agriculture and livestock sectors. The swap is fully funded and the fund targets over-collateralisation of 105%, but significant counterparty risk remains, as explicitly disclosed. The underlying index is complex, involving multiple commodity futures with different maturities, subject to roll costs, contango and backwardation effects, which add to the complexity and potential tracking error. The fund does not employ leverage or inverse exposure, and the risk profile is medium (4 out of 7 in PRIIPs KID, 6 out of 7 in MiFID KIID), reflecting volatility and counterparty risk. The use of swaps and derivatives is inherent to the investment strategy, not merely for risk management. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with a TER of 0.34%, no performance fees, but swap-related costs are implicit. Given the synthetic replication, swap counterparty exposure, and complexity of the underlying commodity futures index, the ETF qualifies as complex under MiFID II rules despite being UCITS compliant and having no leverage."
