    "supporting_data": "The ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis:1. **Replication Method**: The fund uses physical replication (direct investment in equities and equity-related securities), which is a non-complex indicator.2. **Leverage and Inverse Exposure**: No leverage or inverse exposure is mentioned, and the fund does not use derivatives for amplification.3. **Underlying Asset Complexity**: While the fund may invest in convertible bonds, it explicitly excludes contingent convertible bonds (CoCos), which are typically complex. The convertible bonds are held for corporate actions and sold as soon as practicable, reducing complexity.4. **Risk Profile**: The fund's risk rating is 6 out of 7, which is relatively high but does not automatically trigger complexity under MiFID II. The risks are primarily market-related and do not involve derivative-specific risks.5. **Derivative Usage**: The fund does not use derivatives for replication or risk management, and there is no mention of swaps or counterparty risk in the KIID or PRIIPs KID.6. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives.**Counter-Argument and Override**: While the fund's risk rating is high, this is primarily due to its investment in small-cap equities, which is a standard risk factor for equity funds. The absence of derivatives, leverage, or inverse strategies, along with the physical replication method, outweighs the risk rating in determining complexity.**Conclusion**: The fund is classified as non-complex due to its straightforward physical replication, lack of derivative usage, and absence of leverage or inverse strategies. The potential complexity from convertible bonds is mitigated by the fund's policy to sell them as soon as practicable."
