        "supporting_data": "The HSBC MSCI EUROPE UCITS ETF is a UCITS fund, which typically benefits from a presumption of non-complexity under MiFID II. However, this presumption is explicitly overturned if the ETF possesses features that make its structure, risks, or payoff difficult for retail investors with basic knowledge to understand. The KIIF states that the Fund 'may invest in derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes... and for investment purposes.' Crucially, it specifies that the Fund 'may invest up to 10% of its assets in total return swaps and contracts for difference.' The provided rules clearly state: 'If any element of Contingent Bonds or any Swap usage is identified then the 'classification' must be 'complex'.' The presence of 'total return swaps' for 'investment purposes' directly triggers this hard rule, making the ETF complex. Furthermore, the KIIF highlights 'Investment Leverage Risk' stating it 'occurs when the economic exposure is greater than the amount invested, such as when derivatives are used,' which is a direct consequence of its derivative use for investment, adding to its complexity. While the primary replication method is physical, the explicit use of derivatives (swaps and CFDs) for gaining exposure/investment purposes means that synthetic elements are integral to achieving the investment objective in certain circumstances. Additionally, securities lending, which can be up to 30% of assets (expected 25%), introduces further counterparty risk, contributing to the overall structural opacity and risk profile that might be difficult for an average retail investor to fully grasp. The combination of these factors, especially the explicit use of swaps for investment purposes, leads to a complex classification as per the MiFID II framework and the specific instructions."
