    "supporting_data": "The L&G Metaverse UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1. Physical replication method: The KIID and fact sheet confirm the fund uses 'physical - full replication' to track the iStoxx Access Metaverse Index, with no mention of synthetic replication or swap agreements. 2. No leverage or inverse exposure: The documentation contains no references to leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns. 3. Straightforward investment objective: The fund aims to track a thematic equity index with no complex structured features or capital protection mechanisms. 4. Transparent risk profile: While rated 7/7 for risk, this reflects the underlying technology sector exposure rather than structural complexity. 5. UCITS compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits complexity. 6. No derivative usage for strategy: Any derivative use appears limited to efficient portfolio management (EPM) purposes, not as a core strategy element. The fact sheet mentions potential use of FDIs (financial derivative instruments) but only for replication purposes, not for leverage or risk transformation. The index itself tracks equity securities of companies engaged in the metaverse value-chain, which while thematic, does not introduce structural complexity. The only potential complexity factor would be the thematic nature of the index, but this does not meet MiFID II's criteria for complexity classification. The fund's use of derivatives, if any, appears to be for standard replication purposes consistent with UCITS rules, not for creating complex exposure patterns.",
