    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses unfunded swaps to replicate the S&P Select Sector Capped 20% Communications Services Index, which introduces counterparty risk and complexity beyond physical replication. The KIID explicitly mentions the use of derivatives and swaps, as well as the risks associated with synthetic replication, including the potential insolvency of counterparties. The risk category is 6, indicating higher risk, and the fund's performance is reliant on the counterparties delivering the benchmark performance as per the swap agreements. The PRIIPs KID and factsheet reinforce the synthetic nature of the replication and the associated risks, including tracking error and counterparty exposure.",

The synthetic replication method, even if used for straightforward index tracking, introduces elements that require a deeper understanding of derivative mechanics and counterparty risk management, which are not typically within the scope of a retail investor's knowledge."
