        "supporting_data": "The HSBC UK SCREENED EQUITY UCITS ETF is indeed a UCITS fund, which typically benefits from a presumption of non-complexity under MiFID II. However, this presumption is overridden by specific features. The Key Investor Information Document (KIID) explicitly states that the Fund 'may invest up to 10% of its assets in total return swaps and contracts for difference' and that it 'may invest in derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes... and for investment purposes'. The use of derivatives for 'investment purposes' as opposed to solely for efficient portfolio management, combined with the explicit mention of 'total return swaps' and 'contracts for difference', are key triggers for complexity.According to the provided MiFID II complexity assessment rules and ESMA guidelines (CESR/09-295, Section 4, Paragraph 91 and ANNEX I), financial instruments that fall within Article 4(1)(18)(c) of MiFID or points (4) to (10) of Section C of Annex I (which include options, futures, swaps, forward rate agreements, and financial contracts for differences) are explicitly considered 'ALWAYS COMPLEX'. The instruction also specifically states: 'If any element of ... any Swap usage is identified then the classification must be complex.' This definitively classifies the ETF as complex.The KIID further highlights 'Counterparty Risk', 'Derivatives Risk', and 'Investment Leverage Risk' (arising from derivatives) as 'Material risks not fully captured by the Risk and Reward Indicator'. These risks are often difficult for an average retail investor to fully comprehend, contributing to the instrument's complexity. While the fund primarily aims for physical replication, the allowance to use derivatives for index exposure when direct investment isn't practical introduces synthetic elements and associated risks. Additionally, while the FTSE UK ESG Low Carbon Select Index is transparent in its methodology, its specific ESG and low-carbon criteria add layers of nuance beyond a simple market-cap index, potentially making its performance drivers less straightforward for a basic retail investor."
