While it primarily invests in physical assets, the use of derivatives for market exposure and the associated risks (as highlighted in the KIID) suggest complexity under MiFID II. The presence of counterparty risk and the potential for amplified losses due to derivatives usage are key factors in this classification. Additionally, the fund's use of investment techniques beyond simple physical replication contributes to its complexity.",
