        "supporting_data": "The HSBC MSCI EMERGING MARKETS UCITS ETF is indeed a UCITS fund, which typically benefits from a presumption of non-complexity under MiFID II due to its regulated nature. However, the provided MiFID II complexity assessment rules include a critical specific instruction: 'If any element of Contingent Bonds or any Swap usage is identified then the 'classification' must be 'complex'.' The KII explicitly states that the fund 'may invest up to 10% of its assets in total return swaps and contracts for difference,' and that these are used not only for efficient portfolio management but also 'for investment purposes' and to 'gain exposure' to the index when direct physical investment is impractical. Total Return Swaps (TRS) are a form of synthetic replication and inherently introduce complexities such as counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative provider defaults) and collateral risk, which are difficult for an average retail investor to fully grasp. The KII also highlights 'Investment Leverage Risk' associated with the use of derivatives and 'Counterparty Risk' from both derivatives and securities lending. While the fund primarily intends to use physical replication, the explicit allowance and actual use of synthetic components (swaps) for investment exposure, coupled with the user's overriding rule regarding swap usage, leads to a 'complex' classification. This aligns with the broader MiFID II objective of protecting retail investors by flagging instruments whose structure, risks, or payoff require advanced understanding, even if they fall under the UCITS umbrella."
