    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily uses physical replication investing directly in the underlying equities of the MSCI EMU Index, which is a broad, liquid, and transparent equity index covering large and mid-cap stocks across 10 EMU countries. The fund fact sheet confirms physical full replication methodology. However, both the KIID and PRIIPs KID documents explicitly state that the fund may use derivatives, including OTC swaps, to gain exposure or efficiencies where direct replication is not practicable. The KIID mentions counterparty risk arising from OTC derivatives, mitigated by collateral policies. There is no leverage, inverse or capital protection mechanism. The risk profile is medium to high (risk category 4 in PRIIPs KID, 6 in KIID), reflecting equity market volatility rather than structural complexity. Costs are straightforward with a low TER (0.12%) and no performance fees. The use of OTC swaps, even if limited and for efficiency, triggers the MiFID II complexity classification because of counterparty risk and derivative usage inherent in the strategy. The derivatives are not used for leverage or amplification but as an inherent element of the replication strategy. No complex underlying assets like contingent bonds or structured products are held. The index tracked is a standard equity index without complex features. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a comprehension warning but confirms derivative use and counterparty risk. Therefore, despite the physical replication and straightforward index, the presence of OTC swaps and counterparty risk leads to a 'complex' classification under MiFID II rules.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund's stated risk profile is medium to high due to equity market volatility (risk category 4 in PRIIPs KID, 6 in KIID). This aligns with the underlying asset class risk rather than complexity from leverage or structured features. The complexity classification arises from the use of OTC derivatives and counterparty risk, not from leverage or complex underlying assets."
