    "supporting_data": "The iShares S&P 500 Paris-Aligned Climate ETF is classified as non-complex under MiFID II based on the following analysis:1. **Replication Method**: The fund uses physical replication, as explicitly stated in the PRIIPs KID ('Product Structure: Physical'). This is a key non-complex indicator.2. **Derivative Usage**: While the KIID mentions the possibility of using financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for direct investment purposes, the PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm no actual derivative usage. The fund's holdings are direct equity securities (top 10 holdings listed), and there's no mention of swaps, counterparty risk, or synthetic replication in the supporting documents.3. **Leverage/Inverse Exposure**: The fund has no leverage or inverse exposure, as confirmed by the absence of terms like 'leveraged', 'inverse', or 'gearing' in all documents.4. **Underlying Asset Complexity**: The fund invests in large-cap US equities (S&P 500 constituents) with ESG screening. The underlying assets are liquid, transparent, and easily understandable for retail investors.5. **Risk Profile**: The risk indicator is 6/7, but this is typical for equity funds. The risks disclosed (e.g., market risk, credit risk) are standard for equity investments and do not indicate complexity.6. **Counterparty Risk**: The PRIIPs KID mentions counterparty risk as a general risk factor, but this is standard disclosure for any fund using derivatives (even if not actually used). There's no evidence of actual counterparty exposure in the holdings or strategy.7. **Regulatory Compliance**: The fund is UCITS-compliant and follows a straightforward index-tracking strategy, which aligns with non-complex classification.**Counter-Argument Consideration**: The KIID mentions FDIs, which could theoretically trigger complexity. However, the PRIIPs KID and factsheet confirm no actual derivative usage, and the fund's physical replication method overrides this theoretical possibility. Regulators typically classify physically replicated ETFs as non-complex unless derivatives are actively used in a material way.**Conclusion**: The fund's physical replication, lack of leverage/derivatives, and transparent equity holdings make it non-complex under MiFID II.",
