    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily uses physical replication (full replication) of the MSCI Canada Index, as confirmed by the factsheet. However, both the KIID and PRIIPs KID documents explicitly state that the fund may use derivatives, including OTC derivatives such as currency forwards, to hedge currency risk and for efficient exposure when direct replication is impractical. The use of OTC derivatives introduces counterparty risk, although mitigated by a collateral policy. The fund is UCITS compliant and does not employ leverage or inverse strategies. The risk profile is medium to high (risk category 4 in PRIIPs KID, 6 in KIID), mainly due to equity exposure and currency risk. The derivatives are used for hedging and efficiency, not as an inherent element of the investment strategy, so 'derivatives' is false. However, the presence of swaps and counterparty risk triggers MiFID II complexity classification. There is no leverage or structured capital protection. The fund invests in liquid, transparent equity securities. The complexity arises mainly from the use of OTC derivatives (currency forwards) and associated counterparty risk, which may not be easily understood by retail investors. No performance fees or complex fee structures are present. The factsheet confirms physical replication as the main method, with derivatives used for currency hedging. No mention of synthetic replication or total return swaps. Therefore, the fund is classified as complex under MiFID II due to swap usage and counterparty risk, despite physical replication and no leverage.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund's stated risk profile is medium to high (risk category 4 in PRIIPs KID, 6 in KIID), reflecting equity market volatility and currency risk. The complexity classification aligns with the presence of OTC derivatives and counterparty risk disclosures, which increase the difficulty for retail investors to fully understand the product risks, even though the fund is physically replicated and unleveraged."
