    "supporting_data": "The fund primarily uses physical replication investing directly in FTSE 100 equities but also employs derivatives, specifically OTC swaps, to gain exposure where direct replication is impractical or inefficient. The KIID and PRIIPs documents explicitly mention the use of OTC derivatives and associated counterparty risk mitigated by collateral policies. The fund is UCITS compliant and does not use leverage or inverse strategies. The risk profile is high (category 6 in KIID) due to equity volatility, but the PRIIPs KID classifies risk as medium (4/7) reflecting derivative use and market risks. The presence of OTC swaps, counterparty risk, and derivative trading costs triggers MiFID II complexity classification despite the fund\u2019s straightforward index tracking and physical replication bias. No leverage or capital protection features are present. The fund\u2019s complexity arises mainly from the synthetic element via swaps and counterparty exposure, not from leverage or complex underlying assets. The monthly factsheet confirms full physical replication with some derivative use for efficiency, consistent with a synthetic overlay. No performance fees or complex fee structures are noted. The PRIIPs KID states the product 'is not simple and may be difficult to understand,' reinforcing the complexity classification under MiFID II. No references to contingent bonds, leverage, inverse exposure, or capital protection mechanisms were found.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund\u2019s stated risk profile is high (6/7) in the KIID due to equity market volatility, but the PRIIPs KID rates it medium risk (4/7) reflecting derivative use and market risks. The complexity classification aligns with the presence of OTC derivatives and counterparty risk rather than leverage or structured features. The fund is suitable for investors with basic financial understanding but the use of swaps and counterparty risk requires disclosure as complex under MiFID II."
