    "supporting_data": "The ETF primarily invests in equities of EMU countries aiming to replicate the MSCI EMU Select Factor Mix Index. The KIID and PRIIPs KID confirm the fund uses physical replication with stratified sampling but also employs derivatives, specifically OTC swaps, to gain exposure where direct replication is impractical or inefficient. The use of OTC derivatives introduces counterparty risk, mitigated by collateral policies, but nonetheless a complexity factor. The fund may also hold structured notes and engage in securities lending, adding further complexity. The PRIIPs KID explicitly states the product is 'not simple and may be difficult to understand,' which is a strong MiFID II complexity indicator. The risk profile is medium to high (risk category 5 in KIID, 4 in PRIIPs), reflecting equity market volatility and derivative usage. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. Costs are straightforward with no performance fees, but derivative trading costs and securities lending are noted. The fund is UCITS compliant. Overall, the presence of OTC swaps, counterparty risk, and structured notes, combined with the explicit PRIIPs complexity warning, drive the classification as complex under MiFID II despite the physical replication approach and absence of leverage.",
    "risk_level_assessment": "The fund's risk category is 5 (KIID) and 4 (PRIIPs), indicating medium to high risk mainly due to equity market volatility and derivative usage. The complexity arises from derivative counterparty risk and structured product holdings rather than leverage or inverse strategies. This aligns with the MiFID II complexity classification, as the fund's risk profile and product features require a higher level of investor understanding."
