    "supporting_data": "The HSBC Hang Seng TECH UCITS ETF exhibits several factors that contribute to its classification as a complex financial instrument under MiFID II. While it primarily uses physical replication, the fund's documentation reveals that it may employ derivatives, including total return swaps (up to 10% of assets, though not expected to exceed 5%), for both efficient portfolio management and investment purposes. The presence of swaps and the potential for derivative usage beyond simple hedging or efficient portfolio management (EPM) introduces counterparty risk and additional complexity. Additionally, the fund's high concentration risk (tracking a benchmark with significant exposure to a limited number of securities) and its focus on emerging markets (Hong Kong technology sector) further contribute to its complexity. The risk and reward profile is categorized at level 7, indicating very high fluctuations, which aligns with the potential for complex behavior. While the fund does not use leverage or inverse strategies, the combination of derivative usage, swap exposure, and the specialized nature of the underlying index (technology sector in Hong Kong) makes it less straightforward for retail investors to fully comprehend the risks involved.",
