    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The fund primarily uses physical replication (full replication of MSCI USA Index) but also employs derivatives, including OTC derivatives and swap agreements, to gain exposure where direct replication is impractical or to improve efficiency. The KIID and PRIIPs KID explicitly mention the use of OTC derivatives and counterparty risk mitigated by collateral policies. The monthly factsheet confirms physical full replication as the main method but does not exclude derivative use. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The derivatives are used as an inherent part of the investment strategy, not solely for risk management, so 'derivatives' is marked false per instructions. The risk profile is high (category 6 in KIID, 4 in PRIIPs KID), reflecting equity volatility and derivative risks. The presence of OTC derivatives and swap agreements, even collateralized, triggers MiFID II complexity classification. No capital protection or structured contingent features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees. The fund is UCITS compliant. Overall, the complexity arises from the use of synthetic elements (swaps) and counterparty risk exposure despite predominant physical replication and straightforward equity index tracking.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund's risk category is high (6/7 in KIID) due to equity market volatility and derivative counterparty risk. The PRIIPs KID shows a medium risk (4/7) but notes potential loss of capital and no capital protection. The complexity classification aligns with the elevated risk profile and derivative usage, indicating that retail investors require a good understanding of derivatives and counterparty risk."
