    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses a synthetic replication method via total return swaps to achieve its investment objective, explicitly stated in both the KIID and PRIIPs KID. The fund does not physically hold the underlying equities but gains exposure through swap agreements with one or more counterparties. The documents highlight counterparty risk as a material risk factor, including the possibility of loss if a counterparty defaults. The fund is UCITS compliant but uses derivatives as an inherent part of its strategy rather than solely for risk management, which mandates classification as complex under MiFID II. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, and the risk rating is medium (4 out of 7) in the PRIIPs KID, but the presence of swaps and derivative counterparty risk drives the complexity classification. The factsheet confirms the indirect replication (swap) methodology and the use of derivatives, reinforcing the synthetic nature of the ETF. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs include ongoing charges around 0.45-0.5% but no performance fees. The complexity arises primarily from the synthetic replication and counterparty exposure rather than leverage or complex underlying assets.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund's stated risk profile is medium (4/7) in the PRIIPs KID, reflecting market and counterparty risks. While the risk level is not extremely high, the use of swaps and derivative counterparty risk elevates the complexity under MiFID II rules. The risk rating aligns with the fund's synthetic structure and derivative use but does not indicate leverage or capital protection features."
