        "supporting_data": "The ETF aims to track the MSCI Japan Investable Market Index (IMI) using physical replication, investing in underlying equity securities. While it uses Financial Derivative Instruments (FDIs) for currency hedging and potentially for direct investment purposes (as stated in the Objectives and Investment Policy), the primary investment strategy is physical replication. MiFID II guidelines, specifically Article 254 and Delegated Regulation EU 2017/565 Article 57, and ESMA guidelines, indicate that derivative use for efficient portfolio management (EPM) like currency hedging is generally considered non-complex, provided it's limited and has minimal impact on the risk-return profile. The description does not suggest that the FDIs are integral to achieving the investment objective or that they introduce complex payoff structures. The use of FDIs for direct investment purposes is mentioned, but the primary strategy remains physical replication. The document also states that the 'hedging strategy may not completely eliminate currency risk', which is a standard disclosure for currency-hedged products. The risk profile is rated six, but this is attributed to the nature of its investments (equity securities) and not structural complexity. The ETF is UCITS compliant, which generally implies a high level of investor protection and adherence to diversification and transparency rules, supporting a non-complex classification. The document explicitly states that 'All investments in UCITS are non-complex instruments by definition' for the purposes of appropriateness, as per CESR's analysis. The use of FDIs for hedging and potentially for investment does not, in this context, automatically trigger a complex classification because the core strategy is physical replication of a well-defined equity index, and the derivative use is supplementary rather than constitutive of the investment strategy. The crucial nuance here is that while derivatives are used, they are not the primary method of replication, nor are they described in a way that suggests embedded options or highly complex payoff structures that would make them difficult for a retail investor to understand. The primary aim is to replicate an equity index through physical holding, with currency hedging as a secondary function."
