    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses synthetic replication through an over-the-counter swap contract to gain exposure to the S&P 500 VIX Futures Enhanced Roll Index, which tracks short- and mid-term VIX futures contracts. The fund explicitly states use of financial derivative instruments (FDI) and swap agreements, exposing investors to counterparty risk. The underlying index involves rolling futures contracts, which introduces complexity such as roll costs, contango, and backwardation effects. The risk indicator is high (6 out of 7), reflecting significant volatility and derivative-related risks. The PRIIPs KID confirms the use of swaps and derivatives as inherent to the strategy, not merely for risk management. The fund is UCITS compliant but tracks a complex volatility futures index synthetically, which is difficult for retail investors to understand. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, but the synthetic structure and volatility futures exposure drive the MiFID II classification as complex."
