    "supporting_data": "The Xtrackers S&P 500 Swap UCITS ETF uses synthetic replication via swap agreements to achieve its investment objective, as explicitly stated in the KIID and factsheet. The fund does not invest directly in the underlying S&P 500 constituents but enters into derivative contracts (swaps) with counterparties to obtain the return of the index. The KIID and factsheet mention counterparty risk and derivative counterparty exposure, which are complexity indicators under MiFID II. There is no leverage or inverse exposure, and derivatives are used as an inherent part of the strategy rather than solely for risk management, so 'derivatives' is marked false per instructions. The fund is UCITS compliant and classified as an ETF. The risk profile is medium (4 out of 7), which aligns with the use of swaps and counterparty risk but no leverage. The PRIIPs KID does not include a comprehension warning but confirms the use of derivatives and counterparty risk. The synthetic replication and swap usage are the primary drivers of the complex classification under MiFID II, despite the fund's straightforward index tracking objective and low ongoing charges. No capital protection or structured features are present. The underlying index is a standard, well-known equity index (S&P 500) with liquid constituents, so underlying asset complexity is low. However, the swap-based synthetic replication and counterparty risk elevate the complexity classification."
