    "complex_factors": "Use of OTC derivatives (swaps) for efficient exposure; Emerging Markets equities with higher volatility and some illiquidity; Sampling strategy with portfolio optimization",
    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily uses physical replication via stratified sampling of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index but explicitly states it may use derivatives, including OTC swaps, to gain exposure or improve efficiency where direct replication is not possible. The KIID and PRIIPs KID both mention counterparty risk from OTC derivatives and collateral policies, indicating synthetic elements. The monthly factsheet confirms physical replication as the main method but allows a small percentage of derivatives for hard-to-access markets. The fund is UCITS compliant. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The risk profile in the KIID is high (risk category 5 out of 7) due to emerging market equity volatility, but the PRIIPs KID shows a medium risk (4 out of 7), reflecting different methodologies. The PRIIPs KID includes a comprehension warning stating the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' which is a MiFID II complexity indicator. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with a TER of 0.18%, no performance fees, and no complex fee structures. The use of OTC derivatives (swaps) for index exposure and the associated counterparty risk, combined with the complexity of emerging markets and sampling strategy, drive the classification as complex under MiFID II despite the absence of leverage or inverse exposure.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund's stated risk profile is medium to high due to emerging market equity volatility and counterparty risk from OTC derivatives. This aligns with the MiFID II complexity classification, as the product involves derivative counterparty risk and a sampling strategy that may be difficult for retail investors to fully understand."
