    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The Xtrackers FTSE Vietnam Swap UCITS ETF uses synthetic replication through entering into financial contracts (derivatives) with swap counterparties to achieve its investment objective, rather than physical replication. The KIID explicitly states the use of swaps and derivatives to obtain the return on the FTSE Vietnam Index. The fund does not invest directly in the underlying securities but gains exposure via derivatives, which is a key complexity indicator under MiFID II. The fund exposes investors to counterparty risk, as failure of the swap counterparty could lead to losses. The fund is UCITS compliant but the use of unfunded swaps and derivative contracts is inherent to the strategy, not merely for risk management. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the synthetic structure and counterparty risk elevate the complexity classification. The risk profile is medium-high (category 5 out of 7), consistent with the derivative and emerging market risks disclosed. The PRIIPs KID does not include a specific comprehension warning but highlights derivative and counterparty risks, reinforcing the complexity. The factsheet confirms the indirect replication via swaps and the presence of counterparty risk. No capital protection or leverage is present, but the synthetic replication and derivative use are sufficient to classify the ETF as complex under MiFID II."
