        "supporting_data": "The fund is a UCITS ETF, which are generally presumed non-complex. However, this presumption is overturned due to several factors. The ETF's investment policy states that 'Financial Derivative Instruments (FDIs) may be used for direct investment purposes.' This goes beyond efficient portfolio management (EPM) and indicates that derivatives are integral to achieving the fund's investment objective, aligning with the rule for 'Complex' classification if derivatives are integral to the objective (MiFID II Rules, Section 2). The KID also explicitly lists 'Counterparty Risk' as a particular risk, which is often associated with the use of derivatives for replication or optimization and is difficult for retail investors to fully understand. Furthermore, the underlying 'MSCI Europe Minimum Volatility Index' is a factor-based index. Its methodology involves complex selection criteria based on 'estimates of the risk profile and expected volatility of each constituent and the correlation between all constituents in the Parent Index.' This quantitative and algorithmic approach to index construction means the index itself is not straightforward, making it a 'Complex Index' (MiFID II Rules, Section 4 & 5). While the fund uses physical replication (optimized), the combination of using FDIs for 'direct investment purposes' to track this complex index, and the explicit mention of counterparty risk, means its structure, risks, and payoff are difficult for an average retail investor to fully grasp. The fund also engages in securities lending, which, while not automatically making it complex, contributes to counterparty risk and overall opacity, as noted in the MiFID II rules (Section 5). Although UCITS are generally non-complex, ESMA guidance (ESMA35-36-1640, Article 25(4) MiFID II, 4th indent) explicitly excludes 'structured UCITS' with 'algorithm-based payoffs' or 'similar features' from automatic non-complexity, which aligns with the nature of a minimum volatility index. The CESR document (CESR/09-295, Section 3, Para 83) also states that not all UCITS should be automatically regarded as non-complex, given that MiFID Level 1 'puts form over substance'."
