    "supporting_data": "The Vanguard FTSE 250 UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II due to its straightforward physical replication strategy, lack of leverage or inverse exposure, and minimal use of derivatives. The ETF primarily invests directly in the constituent securities of the FTSE 250 Index, using sampling only where full replication is impracticable. While the KIID mentions the potential use of derivatives for risk reduction, cost efficiency, or income generation, these are not central to the investment strategy and do not introduce significant additional risk or complexity. The ETF's risk profile is transparent, with a clear objective of tracking the FTSE 250 Index, and it does not employ synthetic replication, leverage, or other complex strategies. The SRRI risk rating of 6 is primarily due to the volatility of mid-cap equities rather than structural complexity. The absence of counterparty risk from synthetic replication and the straightforward nature of the underlying assets further support the non-complex classification.",
