    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses indirect replication via an over-the-counter swap contract (financial derivative instrument) to achieve its investment objective, as explicitly stated in the KIID and PRIIPs KID. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of international equities whose performance is swapped against the benchmark index. The factsheet confirms the synthetic replication method and identifies Morgan Stanley Bank AG and Societe Generale as counterparties, with counterparty exposure limited to 10% of total assets. The risk disclosures highlight counterparty risk and derivative-related risks, including leverage risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The risk indicator is 5 out of 7, indicating medium-high risk. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, and no capital protection or structured features. The fund is UCITS compliant. The use of swaps and synthetic replication inherently introduces complexity under MiFID II, as investors face counterparty risk and the performance depends on derivative contracts rather than direct ownership of underlying securities. The fund does not use derivatives solely for risk management but as an integral part of the replication strategy, so derivatives are marked true. No leverage or inverse exposure is present. The underlying index is a standard equity index (S&P/ASX 200), which is not complex itself, but the synthetic replication and swap usage drive the complexity classification. No contingent bonds or structured products are held. Costs are straightforward with a 0.40% ongoing charge and no performance fees. The PRIIPs KID does not contain a comprehension warning but confirms the medium-high risk profile and derivative usage. Overall, the key complexity drivers are the synthetic replication via swaps and the associated counterparty risk, which under MiFID II classify this ETF as complex despite its straightforward equity index exposure and UCITS compliance."
