    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily uses physical replication (full replication) as confirmed by the fund fact sheet, which states 'Physical (Full replicated)'. However, both the KIID and PRIIPs KID documents explicitly mention that the fund may use derivatives, including OTC derivatives and swap agreements, to gain exposure to the index where direct replication is not possible or to generate efficiencies. This use of derivatives is inherent to the investment strategy rather than solely for risk management, which triggers complexity under MiFID II. The documents also mention counterparty risk associated with OTC derivatives, mitigated by collateral policies, and the possibility of holding securities not in the index if deemed appropriate by the portfolio manager. The fund does not employ leverage, inverse or amplified exposure, and the risk rating is medium (4 out of 7 in PRIIPs KID, 6 in KIID, reflecting equity volatility). Costs are straightforward with no performance fees, and ongoing charges are low (around 0.33%). The fund is UCITS compliant. The presence of OTC derivatives and swap usage, even if limited and collateralized, combined with counterparty risk and derivative trading costs, classifies the ETF as complex under MiFID II. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, and the underlying assets are liquid equities from a transparent index. The complexity arises mainly from the partial use of derivatives and counterparty exposure, not from leverage or structured products. No capital protection or structured features are present. The PRIIPs KID does not carry a comprehension warning but confirms derivative use and counterparty risk. The monthly fact sheet confirms physical replication as primary but acknowledges derivative use for efficiency. Therefore, despite the physical replication focus, the derivative and swap usage for index exposure and associated counterparty risk drive the classification as complex under MiFID II rules."
