        "supporting_data": "The Ossiam US ESG Low Carbon Equity Factors UCITS ETF is classified as complex primarily due to its actively managed nature and the use of a proprietary quantitative model. While it tracks US equities, its investment strategy involves a dynamic selection of equities based on ESG data, ethical filters, and a thematic rules-based exclusion approach. The model screens for factors like Momentum, Size, Value, and Volatility, and incorporates constraints such as reducing total greenhouse gas emissions by 40%. This sophisticated methodology, which goes beyond simple index tracking and involves elements like factor optimization and ESG considerations, introduces a layer of complexity that makes it difficult for an average retail investor with basic knowledge to fully understand the underlying mechanics and risk drivers. The ESG and carbon emission targets, while potentially beneficial, add complexity to the investment process that is not typical of a standard, non-complex ETF. Even though it's a UCITS ETF (presumed non-complex), the intricate strategy and proprietary model deviate from the straightforward replication expected of non-complex products. The KID's recommendation for investors to withdraw money within 5 years also suggests a level of risk and complexity beyond basic investments.",
