    "supporting_data": "The ETF is a UCITS-compliant exchange-traded fund tracking the BNP Paribas Value Europe ESG (NTR) index. It uses a full replication method when investing directly in shares but also employs a substitute basket involving shares, debt securities, or cash with performance swapped against the index, explicitly generating counterparty risk. The KIID and PRIIPs KID documents mention synthetic replication and swap agreements, indicating the use of unfunded swaps and counterparty exposure. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, and derivatives are used only as part of the synthetic replication strategy, not for risk management alone. The risk profile is medium (4 out of 7), consistent with equity market exposure, but the presence of swap-based synthetic replication and counterparty risk triggers MiFID II complexity classification. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees or complex fee structures. The complexity arises primarily from the synthetic replication via swaps and associated counterparty risk, which may reduce transparency and increase difficulty for retail investors to fully understand the product. The underlying index is ESG-focused but does not add complexity beyond standard equity indices. The factsheet confirms the use of substitute baskets and swap agreements, validating the synthetic replication approach."
