    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily invests in equities of the MSCI Europe Index and aims to replicate the index performance. The replication method is physical (full replication) as confirmed by the factsheet. However, both the KIID and PRIIPs KID documents explicitly state 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 swaps introduces counterparty risk, although mitigated by collateral policies. The fund is currency-hedged to EUR, which involves derivative instruments for hedging currency risk. The PRIIPs KID includes a comprehension warning stating the product 'is not simple and may be difficult to understand,' which is a strong indicator of complexity under MiFID II. The risk profile in the KIID is high (risk category 6 out of 7), reflecting equity market volatility and derivative-related risks. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, and derivatives are used as an inherent part of the strategy (not just for risk management), so 'derivatives' is marked false only if used solely for risk management, but here swaps are used to gain exposure, so 'swaps' = true and 'derivatives' = false (per instructions). The fund is UCITS compliant. No capital protection or structured features are present. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees, but derivative trading costs and counterparty risk are disclosed. Overall, the presence of synthetic elements via swaps, counterparty risk, and the comprehension warning in the PRIIPs KID lead to classification as complex under MiFID II despite physical replication being the primary method.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund's stated risk category is 6 out of 7 in the KIID, indicating high volatility consistent with equity exposure and derivative use. The PRIIPs KID risk indicator is 4 out of 7 (medium risk), reflecting a somewhat lower risk assessment but still acknowledging complexity. The use of OTC derivatives and counterparty risk disclosures align with a higher risk profile. The complexity classification aligns with these risk disclosures and the comprehension warning in the PRIIPs KID."
