    "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) with UBS as counterparty, swapping the performance of the commodity index for the performance of a basket of securities. This swap structure inherently exposes investors to counterparty risk, a key complexity factor under MiFID II. The replication method is explicitly synthetic, not physical, and the Fund does not directly hold the underlying commodities but rather uses derivatives to achieve its investment objective. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the use of total return swaps and the complexity of the underlying commodity futures index (with multiple maturities and sector exposures) contribute to the complexity. The risk profile in the KIID rates the Fund at 5 out of 7, indicating a higher risk level consistent with derivative and counterparty risk. The PRIIPs KID rates the risk lower at 4 out of 7 but confirms the use of swaps and the absence of capital protection. The Fund is UCITS compliant but the synthetic swap structure and counterparty exposure make it complex under MiFID II. No capital protection or structured features are present, and costs are straightforward with no performance fees, but swap fees and derivative costs are implicit. The Fund\u2019s complexity arises primarily from its synthetic replication via total return swaps and counterparty risk exposure, not from leverage or structured capital protection. Therefore, under MiFID II, this ETF is classified as complex."
