    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses an indirect replication method via over-the-counter total return swap contracts to achieve exposure to the MSCI Emerging Markets Net Total Return Index. The KIID and PRIIPs KID explicitly state that derivatives (total return swaps) are integral to the investment strategy, not merely for risk management. The fund exposes investors to counterparty risk inherent in swap agreements. The underlying index covers emerging markets equities, which carry higher liquidity and political risks. The risk profile is medium (4/7), with specific mention of counterparty risk and liquidity risk. The ongoing charges are low (0.14%) and no leverage or inverse exposure is present. The factsheet confirms synthetic replication and swap usage. Given the use of funded or unfunded swap agreements and derivative instruments as a core part of the investment strategy, the ETF is classified as complex under MiFID II. There is no leverage or capital protection mechanism, but the synthetic structure and counterparty risk are key complexity drivers. The PRIIPs KID does not contain a comprehension warning but confirms derivative usage and medium risk. The fund invests in a large number of emerging market equities but does not hold complex structured products or contingent bonds. The complexity arises primarily from the synthetic replication and swap counterparty exposure, which may reduce retail investors' ability to easily understand the product's risk profile and performance drivers."
