    "supporting_data": "The ETF uses synthetic replication via an over-the-counter swap contract (FDI) to track the S&P 500 Index, which introduces counterparty risk and derivative exposure. The KIID explicitly mentions 'financial derivative instruments' and 'swap agreements,' which are key indicators of complexity under MiFID II. Additionally, the ETF employs a daily currency hedging strategy, adding another layer of complexity. While the ETF is UCITS-compliant and has a straightforward investment objective, the use of swaps and derivatives for replication and hedging purposes makes it a complex instrument under MiFID II rules.",

    "additional_notes": "The ETF's synthetic replication method and the use of derivatives for hedging are the primary reasons for its classification as complex. While the underlying index (S&P 500) is simple and transparent, the derivative-based replication introduces additional risks that may not be easily understood by retail investors. The presence of counterparty risk and the potential for tracking error further support this classification."
