    "supporting_data": "The HSBC MSCI USA Climate Paris Aligned UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II regulations. The primary reasons for this classification are: (1) The ETF uses physical replication as its main strategy, investing directly in the underlying securities of the MSCI USA Climate Paris Aligned Index. (2) While the ETF may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management (e.g., to manage risk and costs), this usage is limited and does not form the core of the investment strategy. The KIID explicitly states that derivatives are used for risk management rather than as a primary investment tool. (3) The ETF does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or complex financial instruments. (4) The risk profile, while rated at level 6, is primarily due to market volatility rather than structural complexity. (5) The ETF is UCITS-compliant, which imposes strict regulatory safeguards, including liquidity requirements and risk diversification rules. (6) The ETF's investment objective is straightforward: to track the performance of a well-defined, publicly available index. (7) The ETF provides clear and frequent disclosure of its holdings, performance, and risks, enhancing transparency. (8) The ETF's use of derivatives is limited to 10% of its assets for total return swaps and contracts for difference, which is a relatively modest exposure and is not expected to exceed 5%. (9) The ETF does not exhibit any of the key complexity indicators under MiFID II, such as synthetic replication, significant leverage, or exposure to illiquid or hard-to-value securities. (10) The ETF's risk disclosures are comprehensive but do not indicate the presence of complex structures or strategies that would require specialist knowledge to understand.",
