    "supporting_data": "The Vanguard FTSE North America UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II regulations. The primary reasons for this classification are: (1) The ETF employs a physical replication method, directly investing in a representative sample of the FTSE North America Index constituents. (2) While the ETF may use derivatives, these are explicitly stated to be for risk reduction, cost efficiency, or generating extra income, not for leverage or complex strategies. (3) The ETF has a straightforward investment objective of tracking a well-known equity index. (4) The risk profile, while rated at level 6, is primarily due to the nature of equity investments rather than complex strategies. (5) There are no indications of leverage, inverse exposure, or sophisticated derivative strategies. (6) The ETF is UCITS-compliant, which generally indicates a higher level of investor protection and transparency. (7) The KIID and factsheet provide clear, comprehensive information about the fund's strategy, risks, and costs. The use of derivatives is explicitly limited to non-complex purposes (risk reduction and cost efficiency) rather than for creating complex exposure. The fund's physical replication method and straightforward equity index tracking strategy make its risks understandable to retail investors.",
