        "supporting_data": "The Amundi Australia S&P/ASX 200 UCITS ETF Dist is identified as a UCITS passively managed Sub-Fund aiming to track the S&P/ASX 200 Net Total Return Index. While UCITS ETFs are generally presumed non-complex, this presumption is overturned by several features outlined in the MiFID II rules. The document explicitly states the Fund achieves its objective via 'indirect replication by entering into an over-the-counter swap contract (financial derivative instrument, the FDI)'. This constitutes synthetic replication, which is central to achieving the ETF's investment objective. According to the MiFID II rules, if derivatives are integral to achieving the investment objective, such as using swaps for index replication, the ETF is classified as complex. This introduces risks like counterparty risk and collateral risk, which are explicitly listed in the KiiD ('Counterparty risk', 'Risk of Financial derivative Instruments'). The KiiD also mentions 'leverage risk' arising from the use of financial derivative instruments. The ESMA guidelines (CESR/09-295, paragraph 7 and 91) reinforce that instruments that embed or use derivatives for their core strategy, such as swaps, are assumed to be complex as their structure makes the risks difficult for an average retail investor to understand. The instruction 'If any element of ... any Swap usage is identified then the classification must be 'complex'' directly applies here. Therefore, despite being a UCITS fund tracking a transparent index, the integral use of OTC swap contracts for its replication strategy and the associated complex risks make this ETF complex."
