    "classification": "complex",
    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses an indirect replication methodology investing in total return swaps to achieve exposure to the MSCI China A Index, explicitly stated as a financial derivative instrument integral to the investment strategy. The KIID and PRIIPs KID both confirm the use of total return swaps and derivative instruments, with counterparty risk disclosures and liquidity risk warnings. The fund is UCITS compliant but uses synthetic replication rather than physical replication. There is no leverage or inverse exposure. The risk rating is moderate (4/7), reflecting market and counterparty risks. The factsheet confirms synthetic replication and no leverage. The use of total return swaps and derivative instruments as a core part of the investment strategy, along with counterparty risk, triggers MiFID II complexity classification. Although the fund tracks a straightforward equity index, the synthetic structure and swap usage make it complex under MiFID II rules."
