    "supporting_data": "The UBS S&P 500 Scored & Screened UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II regulations. The primary reasons for this classification are: 1. Physical replication method: The ETF uses full physical replication to track its index, directly holding the underlying securities. 2. No leverage: There is no indication of leverage or inverse exposure in the fund's strategy. 3. Limited derivative usage: While the KIID mentions the potential use of derivatives for risk reduction, cost reduction, or generating additional capital, this appears to be for efficient portfolio management rather than as a core strategy component. The derivatives are not used in a way that would make the fund's risk profile materially different from its underlying assets. 4. UCITS compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which generally indicates a higher level of investor protection and regulatory oversight. 5. Transparent structure: The fund tracks a well-known, transparent index (S&P 500) with clear ESG screening criteria. 6. Risk profile: While categorized as risk level 6 (high risk), this is primarily due to its equity exposure rather than complex structural features. 7. No complex underlying assets: The fund invests in large-cap US equities with ESG screening, which are generally considered liquid and transparent assets. 8. Currency hedging: The use of foreign currency forwards for hedging purposes is a common practice in international ETFs and doesn't by itself make the product complex. Counterarguments considered: Some might argue that the ESG screening process adds complexity. However, the ESG methodology is clearly disclosed, and the screening process doesn't fundamentally alter the straightforward equity exposure of the fund. The derivative usage could be seen as a potential complexity factor, but as it's limited to risk reduction and hedging purposes rather than being a core strategy component, it doesn't trigger the complexity classification.",
