    "supporting_data": "The iShares $ TIPS UCITS ETF uses physical replication but employs financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for currency hedging and direct investment purposes. While the primary replication method is physical, the use of FDIs for hedging and investment introduces complexity. The KIID explicitly mentions the use of FX forward contracts and other derivatives for currency hedging, which may not completely eliminate currency risk and could affect performance. Additionally, the fund may use FDIs for direct investment, which adds another layer of complexity. The presence of counterparty risk due to derivative usage further supports the classification as complex under MiFID II.",

The fund's risk level of 4 and the detailed disclosures about derivative-related risks further support this classification."
