    "supporting_data": "The First Trust US Equity Income UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis: 1) Physical replication method (confirmed in the fact sheet), 2) No leverage or inverse exposure, 3) No synthetic replication or swap agreements mentioned, 4) Straightforward equity index tracking strategy, 5) UCITS-compliant with transparent holdings, 6) Risk profile (SRRI 7) is consistent with equity market risks, 7) No complex underlying assets or structured features. The fund uses physical replication to track the NASDAQ US High Equity Income Index, investing directly in the underlying securities. There are no references to derivatives, swaps, or synthetic structures in either the KIID or PRIIPs KID. The fact sheet confirms full physical replication with no derivative usage beyond normal portfolio management. The index itself is a rules-based equity index with fundamental screens, not a complex or synthetic benchmark. While the risk rating is high (7), this reflects normal equity market volatility rather than structural complexity. The fund's charges are straightforward (0.55% TER), and there are no performance fees or complex fee structures. The only potential complexity factor would be the hedging of currency exposure (GBP hedged share class), but this is standard practice for currency-hedged ETFs and does not trigger complexity under MiFID II. The PRIIPs KID does not contain any comprehension warnings that would indicate complexity. The fact sheet confirms the fund is Article 6 under SFDR, indicating no significant sustainability-related complexity.",
