    "supporting_data": "The iShares STOXX Europe 600 Technology UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Dist) is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Physical Replication: The fund uses physical replication (as confirmed in the PRIIPs KID and fact sheet) with at least 95% of assets matching the index. 2. No Leverage or Inverse Exposure: The KIID explicitly states 'It is not the Investment Managers intention to leverage the Fund,' and the PRIIPs KID confirms no leverage or inverse exposure. 3. Minimal Derivative Use: While the KIID mentions potential 'minimal amounts of leverage from time to time' for efficient portfolio management, this is standard for ETFs and does not trigger complexity under MiFID II. 4. Straightforward Strategy: The fund tracks a simple sector index (STOXX Europe 600 Technology) with no complex underlying assets or structured features. 5. Risk Profile: The risk rating (7) is consistent with equity sector ETFs and does not indicate complexity. 6. Transparency: The fund provides full portfolio disclosure and is UCITS-compliant, ensuring retail investor suitability. The fact sheet confirms physical replication and no swap usage, further supporting the non-complex classification. The only potential counterargument could be the mention of 'minimal leverage' in the KIID, but this is explicitly for EPM purposes and does not materially alter the fund's risk profile or complexity.",
