    "supporting_data": "The iShares MSCI Japan SRI UCITS ETF GBP Hedged (Acc) is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons: 1. Physical replication: The fund primarily invests in the equity securities that make up the MSCI Japan SRI Select Reduced Fossil Fuel Index, indicating physical replication. 2. No leverage or inverse exposure: There is no mention of leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns in the documentation. 3. Derivative usage limited to hedging: The fund uses financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for currency hedging purposes, which is a common and transparent practice in hedged ETFs. The use of derivatives is limited to FX forward contracts for hedging currency risk, which is not considered complex under MiFID II. 4. Straightforward investment objective: The fund aims to track the performance of a specific equity index, which is a clear and transparent objective. 5. Risk profile: The fund's risk profile is rated 6 out of 7, which is moderate and does not indicate excessive complexity. 6. UCITS compliance: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives. 7. Transparency: The fund provides clear information about its holdings, risks, and charges, making it suitable for retail investors. The only potential complexity factors are the use of derivatives for currency hedging and the ESG screening process, but these do not rise to the level of complexity under MiFID II. The fund's overall structure, investment strategy, and risk profile are straightforward and easily understandable by retail investors.",
