        "supporting_data": "The iShares Edge MSCI World Minimum Volatility Advanced UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex. Although it employs a minimum volatility strategy and uses ESG criteria, which add layers to its investment approach, its core replication method is physical. The document explicitly states it 'invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index.' The use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) is mentioned, but primarily for 'optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to the Index' and 'currency hedging purposes' (FX forward contracts). The documentation does not suggest that derivatives are integral to achieving the investment objective in a way that would introduce counterparty or collateral risks central to a complex classification. The risks highlighted, such as market volatility and tracking error, are standard for equity ETFs. The currency hedging, while using FDIs, is a common practice for ETFs and is typically considered for efficient portfolio management rather than creating inherent complexity for the investor's understanding of the core investment strategy. The ETF is UCITS compliant, which by default provides a baseline presumption of being non-complex, unless specific features override this. The ETF does not appear to use leverage, embedded derivatives in the way that would trigger complexity (like contingent convertible bonds or structured notes), or track complex indices that would render it difficult for a retail investor to understand its structure and risks. The ESMA guidelines (CESR/09-295) note that UCITS are generally non-complex, and while derivatives for EPM can sometimes be viewed critically, the primary strategy here is physical replication. The nuances around derivatives for EPM suggest that if the impact is minimal and they are used for hedging or managing flows, it doesn't automatically make it complex. In this case, currency hedging falls under that umbrella. The document does not indicate the use of derivatives in a way that is central to replicating the index performance through synthetic means or that introduces significant counterparty or collateral risks that would be difficult for a retail investor to comprehend. Therefore, the ETF retains its non-complex classification."
