    "supporting_data": "The HSBC MSCI Canada UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II regulations. The primary replication method is physical, with the fund aiming to invest directly in the shares of companies comprising the MSCI Canada Index. While the KIID mentions the potential use of derivatives for efficient portfolio management (e.g., risk management, cost reduction, or generating additional capital), this usage is limited and does not constitute a core or complex strategy. The fund may use derivatives such as total return swaps and contracts for difference, but these are capped at 10% of assets and are not expected to exceed 5%, indicating minimal reliance on such instruments. The fund's risk profile (category 6) is primarily due to market volatility rather than structural complexity. The absence of leverage, inverse strategies, or capital protection mechanisms further supports the non-complex classification. The fund's transparency, liquidity, and straightforward investment objective align with MiFID II criteria for non-complex instruments.",
