    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses indirect replication through OTC swap contracts (financial derivative instruments) with counterparties such as Morgan Stanley Bank AG and Societe Generale, exposing investors to counterparty risk capped at 10% of fund assets. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of international equities but achieves index exposure via swaps, confirming synthetic replication. The risk disclosures highlight derivative-related risks including leverage risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The PRIIPs KID rates the product risk at 5/7, indicating medium-high risk, and notes market liquidity risk and counterparty risk. The factsheet confirms synthetic replication and counterparty exposure, with no leverage or inverse exposure. The fund is UCITS compliant but the use of swaps and derivatives as an inherent part of the strategy classifies it as complex under MiFID II. There is no capital protection or structured features, and no leverage above 1:1. The complexity arises primarily from the synthetic replication method and counterparty risk, which may not be easily understood by retail investors despite the fund's straightforward equity sector focus and moderate risk profile."
