    "supporting_data": "The JPM US Value Equity Active UCITS ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II for the following reasons:1. **Physical Replication**: The fund uses a physical replication method, investing directly in equity securities rather than synthetic replication via derivatives or swaps. The KIID and factsheet confirm the fund holds a portfolio of equity securities actively selected to outperform the Russell 1000 Value Index.2. **No Leverage or Inverse Exposure**: The fund does not employ leverage, inverse strategies, or amplified returns. The investment objective is to achieve long-term returns through active management of a value-style portfolio, without any mention of gearing or derivative-based amplification.3. **Transparent Underlying Assets**: The fund invests in liquid, transparent equity securities of US companies, with no indication of exposure to illiquid or complex assets like contingent convertible bonds (CoCos), AT1 bonds, or structured products.4. **No Capital Protection Features**: There are no capital guarantees, principal protection mechanisms, or structured return formulas mentioned in the KIID or factsheet.5. **Risk Profile**: While the fund is rated as risk level 6 (high risk) due to historical volatility, this does not inherently make it complex. The risks are clearly disclosed and relate to equity market exposure, not derivative or counterparty risks.6. **Derivative Usage for Efficient Portfolio Management**: The KIID mentions that the fund 'may use financial derivative instruments for efficient portfolio management purposes,' but this is a standard disclosure for UCITS funds and does not imply extensive or complex derivative usage. The factsheet does not indicate any significant derivative exposure, and the fund's holdings are primarily equities.7. **No Counterparty or Collateral Risks**: There are no references to swap counterparties, collateral management, or derivative-related risks in the KIID or factsheet, which are key indicators of complexity.8. **UCITS Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant, which inherently limits the use of complex strategies and derivatives to those permitted under UCITS regulations.**Counterarguments and Override**:- Some may argue that the use of derivatives for efficient portfolio management could introduce complexity. However, under MiFID II, derivatives used for hedging or cost reduction (e.g., currency hedging) do not automatically trigger a complex classification if they do not materially alter the fund's risk profile.- The fund's active management strategy could be seen as introducing complexity, but active management alone does not meet the MiFID II criteria for complexity unless it involves sophisticated strategies or opaque risk exposures.The absence of leverage, synthetic replication, inverse strategies, or complex underlying assets, combined with the fund's UCITS compliance and transparent equity holdings, supports the non-complex classification.",
