        "supporting_data": "The asset is a UCITS ETF using physical replication to track a transparent equity index (NASDAQ US High Equity Income Index). These are strong characteristics of a non-complex product. However, the assessment is based on the specific share class detailed in the KIID: 'Class D GBP (Hedged) DIST'. The currency hedging mechanism, while used for Efficient Portfolio Management (EPM) rather than as a core part of the investment strategy, introduces a layer of structural complexity. Hedging is typically achieved through derivative instruments like currency forwards or futures, which brings in concepts of derivative mechanics and counterparty risk. According to the MiFID II framework (Rule 2 Nuance) and ESMA guidelines (ESMA35-36-1640), a product is considered complex if its structure or risks are difficult for a retail investor to understand. The mechanics of currency hedging and the associated counterparty risk are not straightforward concepts for the average retail investor. Therefore, despite the simple underlying strategy of the fund, the specific hedged share class is classified as complex because this feature overturns the presumption of simplicity."
