    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses indirect replication through over-the-counter swap contracts (FDI) with counterparties such as Morgan Stanley Bank AG and Societe Generale, exposing investors to counterparty risk. The replication is synthetic rather than physical, confirmed by the factsheet. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of international equities but achieves index exposure via swaps, not direct purchase of all underlying securities. The risk indicator is medium-high (5/7), reflecting market and derivative risks. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the use of swaps and derivatives as an inherent part of the strategy classifies the ETF as complex under MiFID II. The fund is UCITS compliant but the synthetic structure and counterparty exposure require specific investor understanding. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees, but swap-related risks and replication risk are disclosed. The underlying index is a sector-specific MSCI Financials index, which can be more volatile and complex than broad market indices. No capital protection or structured features are present. The PRIIPs KID confirms a medium-high risk rating and highlights counterparty and liquidity risks. Overall, the synthetic replication and swap usage are the main drivers of complexity classification despite the absence of leverage or capital protection features."
