    "supporting_data": "The HSBC MSCI Japan UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons: 1) It uses physical replication as its primary method (confirmed in the monthly factsheet), 2) Derivative usage (total return swaps up to 10%) is for efficient portfolio management and not for leverage or inverse exposure, 3) The underlying index (MSCI Japan) is a standard, transparent equity index, 4) The fund is UCITS-compliant with straightforward risk disclosures, 5) The risk profile (category 6) is clearly explained and aligns with the equity market exposure. While the fund has derivative permissions, the usage appears limited and for risk management purposes rather than creating complexity. The physical replication method and transparent index tracking make this suitable for retail investors.",
