        "supporting_data": "The ETF is a UCITS fund, which typically presumes non-complexity. However, this presumption is overturned by several factors. The KiiD explicitly states the Fund 'may invest up to 10% in total return swaps and contracts for difference' and that derivatives may be used 'for investment purposes'. According to the provided MiFID II rules, 'If any element of ... Swap usage is identified then the 'classification' must be 'complex'. The use of total return swaps, even for a portion of the portfolio, is integral to achieving its investment objective (index replication) and introduces counterparty risk, a concept generally considered difficult for retail investors to understand. The KiiD also lists 'Counterparty Risk' and 'Derivatives Risk' as material risks. While the primary replication method appears to be physical, the explicit allowance for total return swaps indicates a hybrid approach with synthetic exposure. Additionally, the Fund engages in securities lending (up to 25%), which further introduces counterparty risk. The index's reliance on a 'proprietary factor model' and 'three value-specific variables' (price-to-book value, price-to-forward earnings, and enterprise value-to-cash flow from operations) introduces a layer of conceptual complexity to the underlying benchmark, even if the index itself is transparent in its methodology. The MiFID II rules emphasize that complexity is determined by the way an instrument is structured and the ease with which its risks can be understood by a retail investor with basic knowledge. The presence of total return swaps, even if limited, and the associated counterparty risk, makes the structure and payoff difficult to understand for the average retail investor, leading to a complex classification. This aligns with the ESMA guidance (CESR/09-295, Section III, Box 11, Level 3, point 5) which lists 'SFIs whose performance is linked to the performance of a basket of shares' as examples of instruments that embed a derivative, and ESMA's general stance that instruments embedding derivatives are complex."
