    "supporting_data": "The iShares MSCI EMU ESG Screened UCITS ETF is a physically replicated ETF that tracks a well-defined ESG-screened equity index. The KIID and factsheet indicate that while the fund may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, this usage is expected to be limited and likely falls under efficient portfolio management (EPM) rather than as a core strategy. The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication. The underlying assets are liquid equities from developed markets, and the risk profile is clearly disclosed. The fund's ESG screening criteria, while adding a layer of complexity to the index construction, do not introduce additional financial complexity that would make the product difficult for retail investors to understand. The fund is UCITS-compliant, which generally aligns with non-complex classifications under MiFID II.",

    "counterparty_risk": "The KIID mentions counterparty risk related to derivatives, but this appears to be standard disclosure rather than indicative of significant exposure. The limited use of derivatives for optimization purposes does not introduce material complexity.",
    "benchmark_complexity": "The MSCI EMU ESG Screened Index is a rules-based, transparent index with clear ESG exclusion criteria. While ESG screening adds complexity to the index methodology, it does not introduce financial complexity that would classify the ETF as complex under MiFID II.",
    "additional_notes": "The fund's use of derivatives is explicitly stated to be limited and likely for optimization purposes, which is a common practice in physically replicated ETFs to manage tracking error and costs. The absence of leverage, inverse strategies, or synthetic replication supports the non-complex classification. The fund's UCITS compliance and clear risk disclosures further reinforce this assessment."
