    "supporting_data": "The AMUNDI MSCI NORDIC UCITS ETF - EUR is a UCITS-compliant ETF that aims to track the MSCI Nordic Countries Index. The KIID and PRIIPs KID documents state that the ETF uses a synthetic replication method, achieved mainly through direct investments but also by using derivatives for inflows/outflows and to gain better exposure to index constituents. The factsheet explicitly states the replication type as 'synthetical'. The KIID mentions the use of securities lending to generate additional income, which is common but adds some complexity. There is no leverage, inverse exposure, or capital protection features. The derivatives usage is limited to efficient portfolio management and not as an inherent element of the investment strategy, so 'derivatives' is marked false. However, the presence of swaps (synthetic replication) mandates classification as complex under MiFID II. The risk profile is medium (4 out of 7), consistent with equity market risk, with no elevated risk from leverage or complex underlying assets. The ETF invests in liquid, transparent Nordic equities, with no complex bonds or structured products. The complexity arises solely from the synthetic replication via swap agreements, which introduces counterparty risk and derivative counterparty exposure. No mention of funded or unfunded swaps is made, but the synthetic replication alone is sufficient to classify as complex. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees, but securities lending and swap fees may be embedded in ongoing charges. No capital protection or structured features are present. The PRIIPs KID does not include a comprehension warning, and the product is intended for retail investors with basic knowledge. Overall, the ETF is complex due to its synthetic replication method involving swaps, despite having a straightforward equity index tracking objective and moderate risk profile."
