    "supporting_data": "The Franklin S&P 500 Screened UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The fund explicitly states it seeks to replicate the benchmark by holding all of the index securities in similar proportions, indicating physical replication rather than synthetic methods.2. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: There is no mention of leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns in the KIID.3. **Derivative Usage for EPM Only**: While the fund mentions using derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management (EPM), this is a common practice in ETFs and does not inherently make the fund complex. The derivatives are used for risk management and cost efficiency, not as part of the core investment strategy.4. **Transparent Underlying Assets**: The fund invests in large-cap US equities, which are liquid and transparent. The index (S&P 500 Screened) is a screened version of the S&P 500, focusing on ESG criteria, but this does not introduce complexity.5. **No Capital Protection or Structured Features**: There are no capital protection mechanisms, barrier options, or structured return formulas mentioned.6. **Risk Profile**: The fund is rated in the higher risk categories (6-7) due to equity market volatility, but this is typical for equity ETFs and does not indicate complexity.7. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently imposes strict transparency and liquidity requirements, further supporting its non-complex classification.**Counterargument Consideration**: Some might argue that the use of derivatives, even for EPM, could introduce complexity. However, under MiFID II, derivatives used for EPM in a transparent and liquid fund like this one do not typically trigger a complex classification. The fund's straightforward physical replication and lack of leverage or structured features outweigh any potential concerns about derivative usage.**Confidence Score**: 90 (High confidence due to clear physical replication, no leverage, and UCITS compliance.)"
