        "supporting_data": "The iShares Edge MSCI EM Minimum Volatility Advanced UCITS ETF USD (Acc) is classified as non-complex. It is a UCITS ETF, which benefits from a baseline presumption of being non-complex. The ETF tracks the MSCI EM Minimum Volatility Advanced Select Index, which employs a minimum volatility strategy and incorporates ESG criteria. The document states that the ETF 'passively managed and invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index.' It also mentions 'optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to the Index,' which may include 'strategic selection of certain securities' or 'use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes.' However, the primary method described is physical replication ('invests in equity securities'). While the mention of FDIs for direct investment purposes could introduce complexity, the core strategy described is physical replication. Crucially, there is no explicit mention of the ETF using derivatives to replicate the index's performance in a synthetic manner, nor any indication of leverage or complex underlying assets that would significantly obscure the structure or risks for a retail investor. The 'minimum volatility' aspect and ESG screening, while adding layers to the index construction, do not inherently render the ETF's structure complex in the context of MiFID II's focus on the ease of understanding of the instrument's mechanics and associated risks like counterparty or collateral risk, which are not indicated here. The document explicitly states that 'minimum volatility' in the Fund's name refers to its underlying index exposure, not its trading price, which may experience volatility. The risk indicator is rated five, but this is attributed to investment concentration, currency risk, equity market movements, and the 'minimum volatility' strategy's potential impact, not structural complexity of the ETF itself. The fund may engage in securities lending to generate income, which is a common practice for ETFs and does not automatically classify it as complex, especially when managed within UCITS rules with collateral requirements. Given the emphasis on passive management, physical replication, and the absence of synthetic replication or other highly complex derivative strategies, the ETF is considered non-complex for MiFID II purposes."
