    "supporting_data": "The Xtrackers Physical Gold EUR Hedged ETC is classified as complex due to several factors. While it uses physical replication for gold exposure, the FX hedging mechanism introduces complexity by attempting to mitigate currency risk between USD and EUR, which may not be fully understood by retail investors. Additionally, the product is structured as a debt instrument (Exchange Traded Commodities - Asset Backed Notes) rather than a traditional ETF, which adds another layer of complexity. The long-term maturity (until 2060) and the potential for early redemption under adverse conditions further contribute to its classification as complex. The KIID explicitly states, 'You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand,' reinforcing its complex nature under MiFID II. The risk indicator of 4 out of 7 also suggests a medium risk level, which, combined with the debt structure and hedging, supports the complex classification.",
